The Dragon Boat manual shows two boards: Top 10 Dragon Boat Point and Top 10 Fastest Record. The NPC gives one manual to a player who does not have one. A racer's entries update after race rewards, at the finish line, and when the racer opens a board or the Point Shop. The points board uses a racer's current point balance, so spending points lowers their place. The game's own Ranking window has two dragon boat tabs that stay empty. The manual boards replace them.
