The fastest racers, many of whom are competitive in nationally sanctioned amateur races, race in Division I, Flight 1. Racers who meet the minimum Crescent handicap race in Division II, Flight 20. I and II are divided into a total of 20 flights, usually with 8 to 12 racers per flight. Usually, the two divisions race on separate courses. Everyone gets two runs.
Most racers end up serving as a gatekeeper once in a season.
By the time the Gatekeepers get their two runs in, they have usually spent most of the day on, or around, the race course. Everyone helps the team. There are some technicalities wherein the points scored by teams of six or fewer racers are discounted to keep the results from being skewed too much. Otherwise, a point scored is a point counted. Individuals can also go for the season Points Championship.
