New for 2015! Novice/Weekend angler division rules!!!

CACA Division 2 (Novice/Weekend Angler Division)

This is for new anglers to give Crappie Tournaments a try until they are comfortable or advance to Division 1 by rules listed below. Our goal is to help everyone learn and have fun in these weekend tournaments.
1. If you fished the previous year 2014 and placed in the top 3 at any tournament or fished any 3 tournaments with CACA you cannot compete in Division 2.
2. Entry fee will be $50 per tournament per team (no added Payout). Besides the Championship which will be $100 per team. CACA membership of $40 is required to fish!
3. Big fish prize will be awarded as one division at all regular tournaments (Division 1 and 2 combined).
4. Payout for Division 2 will be a scale of 1 in 3 boats and will be paid back 100% of entry fees minus the $10 dollars for big fish pot. (Example: 2 boats fish first place wins $80 dollars, 3 boats fish first place wins $72 and 2nd wins $48 and so on.) 3 spots paid out maximum!!
5. If you win 2 tournaments in one season the next tournament you will automatically advance to Division 1 or if you win $500 in a season you will automatically advance to division 1 the next tournament as well.
6. If you decide to fish in a division 1 tournament you cannot fish again in Division 2 at this point you have advanced yourself. Once you advance by choice or by rule #5 you must fish Division 1 in any future CACA tournament you participate in!! (see rule 7 for more info)
7. Non-Boater rule, if you are a new participate and choose to fish with a division 1 competitor as a Non-Boater you will fish division 1 for that tournament but if the non-boater returns with that partner for another tournament they will advance as a Division 1 participate for all future tournaments. But if that non-boater returns to another tournament with his/her own boat he/she can fish in division 2 but if he/she has a partner they must be eligible to fish as a division 2 participate as well, if the partner is not eligible the boater will automatically be considered a division 1 participate for that tournament and all future CACA tournaments.
8. Championship qualification, if you fish two Division 2 tournaments you will qualify for the Championship. There will only be one division for the championship and every one from both divisions will compete against one another to crown the year’s champions!!! All Division 1 and 2 qualifiers are eligible for all added payouts at the championship! Qualification for the championship does not mean you will be subject to advancement for the next year as long as you still fall within the rules set for division 2!
9. A licensed Arkansas guide cannot compete in division 2.
