The distance of the race is 500 meters.

For the women category it will be a 10-crew dragon boat event but the women will race in a 20-crew dragon boat.

A maximum of 30 crews will participate in each series on which the format of the race will be based.

Each participating team will be charged a nominal fee of S$600.00 up front for the men’s category and S$300.00 up front for the women’s category for the whole SDBA Master Series 2008 with no refund if a team misses one Series or terminates its participation after having started.

The best of 5 Series will count towards the total points after the completion of the Series in November 2008 taking into consideration that some teams may miss a Series owing to other commitments.

A SDBA Master Series Challenge Trophy will be up for grabs for the team with the highest total points as well as cash prize of S$3,000.00 for the men’s category (1st Position) and S$1,500.00 for the women’s category (1st Position) at the conclusion of the Series in November 2008.
