We are excited to announce the 1st Official MNO On-Line Fishing Tournament!$10.00 per person with 100% of the entry fees collected being paid back to the winners!!
The Tournament will be simple. There will be 3 categories of fish; Walleye, panfish and Largemouth Bass. You can select whichever category you would like to enter. You are not limited to one category but you are limited to only one entry per category. For each category you enter you are required to pay the $10.00 entry fee. So if you want in all 3 categories you must send in $30.00 and if you are only entering one category you need to send in $10.00
The contest will begin on August 1, 2007 and it will end at 11:59pm September 3, 2007.You will have just over a month. We will accept registration up until the 15th of August (entry form must be post marked 8/15/07). For late registration there will be a 48hr. grace period from the day that I receive your entry fee until the time you can register a fish. For all that do register I will need an email address and username. I will send you confirmation when I receive your entry and when the contest begins or when your 48hr window is up I will then give you your unique "pin" number that will need to be in the picture.
Rules 1: It is open to all MNO members. If you are not a member simply register on the site.
http://mnoutdoorsman.com/forums/index.php?action=registerIt is free to register and your personal information will stay personal, you will not receive any spam.
2: There will be 3 categories of fish. For each Tournament that you sign up for you will be allowed to enter 2 fish per person, except for the panfish category which will allow you to enter up to 4 fish for a combined total length. In the Walleye and Bass categories you will be judged by each individual fish, it will not be combined length.
Tournament 1: Walleye
Tournament 2: Largemouth Bass
Tournament 3: Panfish (Crappie & Sunfish)
**You are allowed to enter 4 fish for the panfish category for a combined total length.
The fish that you enter will be judged by length not weight, so please make sure you have a good legible device to measure your fish. If we are unable to determine the length of the fish in the picture it will not be accepted so please make sure you take clear and legible pictures of the fish being measured.
*In the event of a tie the pictures will be closely examined and if we do find that there may be a difference it will be brought before a panel of 4 judges. If the fish are the same length the tie breaker will be the second fish submitted by each angler, so please submit a second fish. If there is a tie in the panfish category it will go the angler who has the largest crappie, if that is a tie it will go to the angler who has the biggest sunfish.
4: Once we receive your entry fee a unique number will be assigned to you. This unique number will need to be in the picture of the fish that you register in the Tournament. If your entry fee and registration is received before August 1st you will receive your "pin" number at approximately 12:01am on August 1st so you are ready to go right away! If you register late there will be a 48 hr grace period from the time I receive your entry fee and registration to the time I will issue you your "pin" number.
5: How to register your fish:
You will need to take 2 pictures of the fish that you plan to register. In each of the pictures you will have to have your "pin" number written on a piece of paper and legible. We will need a picture of the fish on the device you are using to measure. The picture needs to be of the entire fish being measured. We will also require a picture of you holding the fish. The "Pin" number needs to be in each of the pictures for them to be valid and excepted in the contest. It is also highly recommended that your picture of the fish be taken right away. We will not accept pictures of fish that are noticeably frozen or dead. So please if you are fishing in this on-line tournament please bring a camera along with you in the boat and have your ruler ready. Any questionable pictures will go in front of the 4 man panel to determine the outcome. We do reserve the right to disqualify any picture that we believe have been tampered with or falsified in any way.
Pictures will need to be posted in the correct thread will will be available on August 1st. If you do not know how to post pictures please send them to:
