I did the whole dragon boat racing thing about two years ago, even competed once or twice, and so thought it would be nice if we could wander down to the waterfront this past weekend and catch a few of the races.  Apparently since my time they’ve added a new position to help judge those close finishes: a crew member whose job is to lay flat on top of the dragon’s head, arm outstretched, and pluck their flag from the finish line as the boat crosses it.
