Tournament signups are from now till May 31st
Tournament starts 12:01AM June 1st and ends 11:59PM July 31st.


Requirements:

All participants must be a member of The Angling Center forums with at least 2 posts. If you haven't registered yet, you may do so here:
http://fishinfanatics.com/EasyAngling/index.php?action=register

All participants must pay a $10.00 entry fee. This can be done either by using the orange donation button (above the search bar) or sending me a money order. Anyone wishing to use a money order, please send me a personal message for name and address details to send a money order.

All participants will be required to post two photographs of each fish entered unless, the below three requirements can be acheived with one picture. One photograph of you holding the fish & one photograph with the bass hanging on a digital scale showing the fish's weight, along with the TAC approved picture (badge) that will be released at the start of the tournament. Any fish submittals not meeting the above requirements will be null and void

Contest must have at least 25 entries before start date.



The Rules:

• All participants must be a member of the Angling Center with at least 2 posts in the forums
• All participants must have their entry fee paid by May 31st.
• Species will include: Largemouth Bass, Spotted Bass & Smallmouth Bass
• All participants will have their own personal topic for entries started for them by me once entry fee has been paid.
• Participants must enter two fish pictures of each entry into their personal topic started for them. (one picture of fish on a readable scale with the TAC badge visible & one of participant holding fish being entered) Points will then be awarded based upon the state record of that species in the state they reside or the state that fish was caught.
• Each participant will be allowed to enter their best 5 fish limit. (culling allowed)

To cull a fish:

Just edit the post with the fish you wish to cull with the words "FISH CULLED" in red.



Point system examples:

I catch a 5 lb lm. If my state record is 10lbs. therefore I would get 50 points, based upon the bass being 50% of the state record.

Another example:
I catch a 5lb smallie. State record is 7lbs. I would get 71 points.
It is 71% of the state record. (divide 5 into 7 = .71 or 71%)

That's up in the air redbug. I hate to think of that happening.
I will more than likely give everyone the option of a refund first or be included in some alternative contest for the prizes sitting here.

You sure can, just be sure to make note of which state the fish entered is from.

How many are in the tourney??

We have exactly 20.
I know I said we needed at least 25 to start but, 20 is pretty close to that and there is no sense turning back now.
