Ike, the 20$ membership fee is a one time charge that goes to the cost for the classic. The 60$ tournament fee is 50$ to the pot and 10$ to the big fish pot. That way it is 100% payback for each tournament. Hope this helped EB
I'm not an avid tournament angler and may not fish any but may fish one or two. Regardless, I'm planning on paying the membership fee just to see the tournament series grow. I do have a question that needs clarified tho'. Since there is now a membership fee, is the entry fee now $50 per scheduled tournament? See excerpts below:
Rule Changes:
#1 Memberships this year. We will be switching to memberships this year instead of the $10 per team per tournament. Membership fees are a one time fee of $20 per person per year. This fee is only for our scheduled tournaments and not good for the challenges. There will still be a $10 fee per team or boat for all challenges going towards our classic expenses.
2014-2015 RULES
These are the rules we have always had. The ones in the post above are new..............................
5. ENTRY FEES: Entry fees must be paid prior to fishing the tournament. We will have same day registration at the place designated for weigh-in. Same day registration will be from 630am-730am the day of the tournament, unless otherwise communicated. Entry fee for regular tournaments is $60 per team, that includes $10 for big fish and $10 for classic PAYOUT! Entry fee to the Classic will be $100, $80 TO THE PRIZE MONEY AND $20 TO THE BIG FISH POT. YOU MUST FISH 3 TOURNAMENTS TO QUALIFY FOR THE CLASSIC.[Quote]

Thanks, just trying to clarify that the pots were going to increase by $10 per team, A little more payout now. The next time I'm where one of the tournaments is going on I'll donate $20 to the membership fee. I may not fish any but might decide to do so at the last minute. Looks like decent weather for Kaw for a change.

I got a question my mom is going to team up with me but wants my dad to come along is that Ok to have three in a boat?
If you enter the tournament its is 2 person teams only. You may not have 3 adults in the boat. Now if you had a child come along that would legal only if the child is not particpating in the tournament.
The Ft. GIBSON Tournament is being postponed to a later date, due to high water. We will announce the date as soon as we see what the water is doing.

The Oologah Tournament is being postponed to a later date, due to a conflict with the Firefighters Burn Camp fishing day. We will announce the date as soon as we see what the water is doing.

I have updated the dates for the final 2 tournaments and the Classic. We are going to have to get the last 2 tournaments in ASAP! Everyone tell your friends that may not get on here very often. Remember you have to fish 3 tournaments to qualify for the Classic Or win a tournament. Hope to see you at Oologah and Ft. Gibson.
