Welcome to the site of the European Dragon Boat Federation
the governing body for the water sport of dragon boat racing in Europe.Changes to EDBF website
1 September 2010 - As you may have noticed, we have made some changes to the EDBF website. These changes have been made to make the website more accessible, especially to people who have difficulties viewing or reading a website on screen. Some of these changes are:
- A feature which will read a section of the website out loud to you. All news articles have this feature already, the other pages will be modified soon as well. This is the "Listen"-link.
- Different Cascading Style sheets for different viewing modes: one for normal screen viewing, one for printing and one for hand-held devices. Be aware that not all hand-held devices make themselves known to the website as a hand-held device, so you may not see this.
- An optimized layout that makes it easier for screenreaders.
Also check our Accessibility page for more information.
This is a work in progress, so you may still experience accessibility issues. If that happens, please contact the webmaster.
European Championship 2010 final results available
23 August 2010 - With a slight delay (we tried to get the results up before the weekend), the final results from the 9th European Nations Championship 2010 are now available.
Amsterdam 2010 Results
17 August 2010 - The race results for the 9th European Championship have been reworked so that it will be a bit easier to find what
you are looking for. Keep in mind though that since we do not have the final results yet, there are still some
issues: for example the 2000m results that were paddled with several classes together have no information other than the Nation name.
Other than that the race results are now shown as
[race number]-[distance]-[heat type]-[class].
Later this week we will process the final results from the Chief Official and publish them together with the results of previous championships as usual.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Dutch Media coverage of European Championships
13 August 2010 - On the prime time news, the Dutch national news service covered the European Championships. See the video, in dutch.
Results from European Championship
13 August 2010 - Due to technical difficulties, the results will not be as live as we would like. We apologise for the inconvenience, updates will be made as frequently as possible. We cannot risk compromising the functionality of the finish-equipment. Results EC 2010 Amsterdam
Live results of European Championships 2010
10 August 2010 - As the Championships are rapidly approaching, all the preparations are coming together to make it a great event. One of those preparations is the online publication of race results, right here on the EDBF website and on www.enc2010.com. The results will be uploaded straight from the foto-finish equipment, so be aware that they will be preliminary results and will not reflect any Official´s decisions yet. The final results will be uploaded as soon as possible after approval of the Chief Official, and will be available together with the results of all previous European Championships.
The Amsterdam 2010 results will be published on this page.
We will also try to post a brief report on every racing day, but keep in mind that your webmasters will be actively taking part in the championships as paddler, coach and crew manager! If you want to keep up to date as news is posted, follow us on Twitter.
