Tournament Rules

Tournament
Rule 15.
15. Points for each tournament and monthly meeting will count toward the Angler of the Year Award in October.
Points will be accrued as follows:
1. 2 points for attending the monthly meeting.
2. 3 points will be awarded to
any contestant that fishes a one day tournament, as defined in
Tournament Rule 1, regardless if he has to leave early or showed up late
at the weigh in.
3. 6 points will be awarded to
any contestant that fishes both days of a two day tournament, as defined
in Tournament Rule 1. 3 points will be awarded if the member only
fishes one day of the two day tournament.
4. 1 point - To receive shirt
and hat points a member must have them on at the weigh in on a 1 day
tournament, and on 2 day tournaments members must have them on the first
day at the weigh in. Members not fishing the first day but fish the
second day can receive the points provided they wear the shirt and hat
at the weigh in and notify the tournament director.
5. 15 points for 1st place, 14
for 2nd, 13 for 3rd, 12 for 4th, 11 for 5th, 10 for 6th, 9 for 7th, 8
for 8th, 7 for 9th, 6 for 10th,
5 for 11th, 4 for 12th, 3 for 13th, 2 for 14th, 1 for 15th. Any member with a legal keeper fish will receive one point.
In the event of a tie for a
tournament the tied fishermen will be awarded an equal number of points
by combining the points for the tied places. In the event of a tie at
the end of the year, the following tie breaker will be used in order:
1. The individual with the largest number of legal fish weighed in for the year.
2. The individual with the largest number of live fish weighed in during the year.
3. The individual with the heaviest tournament stringer of fish weighed in during the year.
Proposed 2016 Change:
In the event of a tie for a
tournament the fisherman
who weighs in the largest fish will break the tie, should a tie still
exist after this a mere flip of the con will break the tie. In
the event of a tie in the point standings (not the end of the year) the
fisherman who are tied will be listd as tied in the standing (if, for
example both are tied for 5th place both will be in the 5th place and
there will be no 6th place and so on).
In the event of a tie at
the end of the year, the following tie breaker will be used in order:
1. The individual with the largest number of legal fish weighed in for the year.
2. The individual with the largest number of live fish weighed in during the year.
3. The individual with the heaviest tournament stringer of fish weighed in during the year.
Reasons for proposed change:
This will eliminate any and all ties in tournament thus eliminating the half of a point. In the standing it eliminates the club secretary from researching who has caught the most fish to determine who shold be in what place (as he does and there is no need to) and allows ties throughout the year thus making it easier as we move through the yearly standings.
