| 2007-08 Regular Tournament Rules Annual membership dues are $35 per person, and are due on August 1. Each fishing member must also pay a $15 per year Tournament Maintenance Fee at his first tournament registration. Children under age of 16 are exempt from these 2 fees. Registration times will be announced and will be held the morning of the tournament. Tournament entry fee is $80 per boat. All participants, prepaid or not, must check in at registration table the morning of the tournament and sign Tournament Entry form. All boats must be at registration site and available for inspection by the Tournament Director. Fishing times will be from the Announced Start Time until 2:00 PM for each tournament. Teams may be on their first fishing spot early, but may not drop hooks into the water until the official Announced Start Time ( as printed in newsletter ). All Tournament Entries may fish with up to four poles per boat with no more than 3 hook sets per pole, except where prohibited by State Law. No more than two people are allowed in tournament boats at any point during tournament hours except for emergencies, assistance with boat troubles, or assignment of a tournament observer. Cell phones, radios and any other form of electronic communication may not be used to get fishing information. Electronic communication is allowed in the case of boat trouble, emergencies or personal, non-fishing related phone calls. Unlimited Substitute Rules. In an attempt to bring new members into the club, Teams may use substitutes in any regular tournament. All adult subs must pay annual Membership Fee ($35) plus annual Tournament Maintenance Fee ($15). There is no limit to the number of substitutes a Team can use during the regular season. At registration, an established Team must declare and register their sub as a sub. Otherwise, the first two adult fishermen become an established team. Members of established Teams may not serve as substitutes. The intent of this Unlimited Substitute Rule is to bring in potential new members, not to co-mingle existing teams. No substitutes (child or adult) may fish the “Finals”. Subs may be declared as a regular Team member at any point during the regular season. Subs who have not been declared as a regular member of a Team may serve as a substitute on more than one team during regular tournaments. Weigh-in Rules. Weigh-ins will begin at 2:30 PM. Teams must turn in weigh tickets by 2:30 PM and one team member must be in the immediate area with no more than 7 crappie caught by the tournament team on tournament day in a container before 2:30 PM. Teams that have not turned in weigh in tickets before 2:30 PM will be disqualified and receive 10 points only for entering. Fish judged by the Tournament Director to be under 10 inches will be thrown out and may not be replaced by another fish. The remaining fish will be weighed. Presenting more than 7crappie to the weigh-in crew will cause the team to be weighed last, giving them one more opportunity to count to 7 crappie. Teams should have no form of ice in the container when container is handed to the weigh-in crew. If ice is present when presented to the weigh in crew, that team will be weighed last after they have removed all forms of ice from the container. Fish will be weighed only one time. Teams may weigh as many Big Fish as they like. Payouts will be based on the club’s 2006-07 Regular Tournament Payout Schedule. Overall Points Rules. Overall Points will be kept for the year, and the Top Ten teams will be recognized at the Awards Banquet. Teams will receive 10 points for entering. Fish will be weighed to the nearest 1/100th of a pound and a like number of points will be assigned to the team’s Points total at each regular tournament. Big Fish Rules. Every boat is entered in the Big Fish pot upon registration. This is not optional and is part of the $80 entry fee. Two Big Fish prizes will be made at each regular tournament—1st place is 60 %, 2nd place is 40% of the day’s Big Fish Pot. One team may win both Big Fish prizes. Post-Season Payout Rules. To qualify for any of the Post-Season Activities and Payouts, teams must have been entered in all but two “held” tournaments. Teams will have a “window” to pay tournament entry fees retroactively for missed tournaments. This “Window” closes at mid-season, and the exact “window” date will be announced in the newsletter as the regular season progresses. Tournaments that were scheduled but not “held” do not count for you or against you. There will be 3 Post-Season Payout pots. Big Mama Pots—The regular season will be divided into 2 splits. The 1st split includes the first 5 held regular tournaments. The 2nd split includes the remaining held regular tournaments. Teams may win more than one Big Mama prize per split. The pot will be built at the rate of $5 per boat per regular tournament. The pots for the two season splits may vary depending on the number of boats entered in each split. Five Big Mama prizes per split will be awarded. 1st @ 30 %, 2nd @ 25 %, 3rd @ 20 %, 4th @15 %, 5th @ 10 %. Additionally, a $250 Biggest Big Mama prize will be awarded for the heaviest fish caught during the regular season. Overall Points Payout-- $1.00 per point per team will be awarded to every team that meets the post season qualifier. Championship Payout-- The “Finals” tournament will be held at the end of the regular season. This event will be 2 one-day tournaments. Exact dates and lake site(s) will be announced later. “Finals” Rules will be issued separately. Any person participating in a Magnolia Crappie Club Tournament must follow all State Laws; especially those pertaining to the operation of a motorized watercraft. Furthermore, while participating in a tournament, Magnolia Crappie Club highly recommends that all fisherpersons wear a Coastguard Approved life jacket, with the watercraft’s engine kill switch attached, while their boat is under power. In the event of inclement weather on tournament day, those members of the Governing Board present will meet and may cancel the tournament. Entry fees for canceled tournaments that are not rescheduled will be returned. Canceled tournaments do not count toward qualification for Post-Season activities or payouts. The Tournament Director is in charge of all activities on Tournament Day. At his discretion, teams may be subject to polygraphs, boat checks, and official observers. In the event a protest is lodged, the TD will listen to the initial complaint and may decide to take the protest to the Protest Committee as provided in the Club’s By-Laws. Protests must be filed with the TD on the day of the tournament. All Protest Committee and TD decisions are final. There is no appeals process. |
