Let's Get Rafty Dysart!

This Australia Day, get yourself a team and build a raft to race against your friends in Dysart's Australia Day Ratbags Raft Race!

There are two classes you can register under - Junior Class (13 years and under), and Open class (14 years and older)

Once you have registered, get together with your mates to construct your raft, and bring it to the Dysart Pool on Australia Day (Sunday January 26th) to race against all the other teams!

Please see below for general conditions of entry, the prize categories and an overview of the event.

Please note, you MUST register via the form below to participate. By registering, you are also agreeing that all team members are competent/confident swimmers.

GENERAL CONDITIONS OF ENTRY

1. Please register your team via the form below

2. Rafts are to be constructed out of pool friendly materials. Example: Pool noodles, paddle boards, clean water bottles with lids securely attached, cable ties, waterproof materials, non-degradable materials.

3. Items that are not to be used to construct your raft: any materials that could disintegrate and block the pool filtration systems.

4. Any raft that has been constructed with materials that are prohibited will be void from competing in the race.

5. Rafts are to be constructed no bigger than 4m long and 2.5m wide.

6. Rafts and teams can be created with a family friendly theme. Example: Minions, The Incredibles, Marvel, Rugrats etc. (does not have to be themed around Australia Day)

7. Rafts can be registered in teams of your choice: Maximum of 4 people per team.

PRIZE CATEGORIES:

Judges Choice Best Raft - $100 Shop Isaac Voucher

Junior & Senior Race Winners Prizes

First - $300 Shop Isaac Voucher

Second - $200 Shop Isaac Voucher

Third - $100 Shop Isaac Voucher

(winner is determined by the raft that crosses the finish line first in the final race, with the riders still in place)

OVERVIEW:

Races will take place in heats. Depending on the number of rafts that are registered, will depend on the number of heats that are held.

Please keep in mind, your raft will need to be constructed so that 1-4 members from your team can float on the raft and race - consider creating paddles to propel yourself. The team members who wish to be on the raft to race MUST be able to swim. (use of life jackets are highly recommended)

The first and second winners from each heat will qualify to compete in the final race.

IMPORTANT: Rafts must be dropped off to the pool early on the morning of the event (between 830am and 930am, Sunday January 26th). This is to allow the Dysart Australia Day Planning Committee to cross check and ensure all rafts are constructed with the appropriate materials before they are able to be raced in the water.
