Revised schedule w/suggested changes
Membership: $25.00 per team/boat (if you fish alone). Money goes into Classic fund and plaque for Anglers of the Year.
Tournaments: $35.00 with $10.00 of this being for big bass. Big Bass is paid out at $100 (2/3) to winner, $50 (1/3) to ISC. $5.00 goes into the Classic fund, the rest is paid out @ the ramp.
Limit: There will be a strict 4 fish limit per boat enforced. There will be no dead fish weighed period! Tournament times are scheduled for 6 hours. Size limit is 14" across the board, all species, all waters.
Points: The points will be awarded in five point increments, i.e. 1st. 100 points, 2nd. 95 points and on down the line. Minimum 'show up' points equal either 15th place (30 pts.) or 1/2 last weighed points, which ever is higher.
3/19/05 Glenn Flint (10A - 4P)
4/16/05 Geist (1P - 7P)
5/07/05 Raccoon (1:30P - 7:30P)
6/18/05 Freeman (2P - 8P)
7/16/05 Prairie Cr. (3P - 9P)
9/17/05 Morse (1P - 7P)
10/08/05 Classic - White River (ramp TBA)
Only the Top-10 teams in points
Our other suggestion would be to fish either afternoon or evening type hours, except for maybe the first one where you could start late (8AM-2P, 9A-3P, or 10A-4P). Our thought being every club out there fishes early morning until 3 or so. We put in around 2 or 2:30P before the ramps get crowded, fish until 8-8:30 and basically have the lake to ourself from 4 o'clock on and get to capitalize on the evening bite.
Based on a full field, things would look something like this...
15 teams x $25/tm memb. = $375
Per tournament payout is:
15 teams/tx $20 payout = $300 total
1st - $150 (50%)
2nd - $90 (30%)
3rd - $60 (20%)
Big Bass - 15 teams x ($10 x 2/3) = $100
ISC gets - 15 teams x ($10 x 1/3) = $50
15 teams x $5 classic fund per tx times 6 txs = $450
Classic total is then $375 + $450 = $825 - AOY plaque(s) cost + $50 per boat Classic Entry (10 x $50) = $500
Grand total in the Classic would then be ~$1300 and we would guarantee a check to
ALL QUALIFIERS!
Classic Payout would look like this:
1st - $325
2nd - $200
3rd - $175
4th - $150
5th-6th = $100
7th - 8th = $75
9th - 10th = $50
