Presque Isle Bassmasters

We have been kicking around some Ideas for the new AOY prize fund, here are some of them for your comments, I'm using this group as a kind of steering committee to get this all finalized, we may need another meeting to present to the rest of the members for a vote.

AOY Prize Fund Qualifications

Since part of the prize fund was earned through the 2006 season, We felt that we should make sure that the members that have been long term supporters of the club benefit the most from this program. The idea on this was to stipulate that to be eligible for the full amount of the AOY fund, you must have been a PIB member for 2006. New members will still be eligible for 1/2 the final prize fund.

We should also stress that participation in the club tournaments and various fund raisers also effects the final amount in this fund.

I think this is a great way to increase the participation in the club, and make the club tournaments more competitive, 2007 should be fun!!

Another item we need to work out is how the paper tournaments will be handled, since they are somewhat new to us we need to have the details spelled out so all know what is going on. There will need to be a partner draw held prior to the tournament to determine who will be bringing boats and who will be a rider, no one can fish single, but we could use an observer if needed. The second paper tournament we should invert this list to make it as fair as possible. With the kind of money we are paying for AOY everyone will be really picking at this so we need to leave NO gray area, the rules should be cut and dried.

As for the fish measurements we will buy some of the soft measuring tapes so everyone is using the same device to measure length and girth and we will look for a good conversion table to make this really fun.

That is all for now, look this over and make comments, as soon as we get a final draft we can post to the web-site for comment then bring up to a February meeting for vote.
