Marshalling
Marshalling is performed approximately 10 minutes prior to an event's commencing, to ensure all participating team members (driver, crew person and patient) are present and accounted for. Any team or member failing to show up to marshalling before a cut-off time are disqualified from the race. During marshalling, teams are allocated their own lane and designated buoy colour.
After marshalling, all patients are taken to a craft termed the duty boat, which transports them to the buoys in their respective lanes.
