Points Scoring:

Points are scored according to the placings in the various categories. Lunker pot winner takes 2nd place points. 1st place = 10 points, 2nd place = 7 points, 3rd place = 5 points, 4th place = 3 points, 5th place = 1 point. (Example- if icedogg has the 1st and 2nd place perch, and the 2nd place walleye, he has 24 points. If I have the 5th place walleye, the 2nd place crappie, and the 1st place bluegill, I have 18 points.)


Tiebreakers

In the event that two fish tie for length for placing by two separate anglers then the tie shall be broken by weight. In the event that the fish for placing are the exact same length and weight then the points shall be halved. All other potential tie breakers(the list is endless) can be handled at the event by a vote among the participants.


Catch and Release

We are promoting catch and release this series, so if anyone wants to release a big fish they catch, we will accept a pic at weigh-in with the fish on top of a measuring tape, with a control sign that we will pass out to every participant at check-in. The control sign will change with each event. Don't forget your tape measurer!!

***Anyone practicing catch and release will forfeit any tie-breaking ability.
