If we made the big bass states separate, which ones would be included? I'd say the top 5 should be good.

Maybe we should just stick texas in the south and forget about it.

The "24 hour posting limit" sounds very fair too. You shouldn't be able to "snake-eye" people, per se, saying you've caught no fish, then post all the pictures at the end. You either have to date your name card or have time stamp turned on on your camera. Sound good? Quote:
Florida, Texas, Georgia, California, and ???? ------------------------------------------ Anything else we need to add? Starting dates? Prizes also need to be determined. |

I disagree with the picture of person with fish. I fish alone alot, and will not be able to do that. if you take a look at Kevins older tournaments, just use that method... 1 pic with fish next to tape and piece of paper with username and a designated code on it... very simple and easy.

You guys are seriously overcomplicating things. For one, only length isnt goin to work. Ive got a lot of long bass that are just really lean and dont weigh much... then on the other hand there are really fat pigs that are just short.

I got lucky last year and won our "Big Bass Tourney" on this site with a 7 or 8 inch bass. It weighed .36 lbs! I guess people just forgot to weigh them in?

I really wasn't trying to bash anybody, I was just trying to save you guys some work figuring out stuff that has already been figured out. The rules will be posted at some point, and there is usually a modification period if anybody sees any huge holes. As far as I am concerned, all of you are trustworthy until you prove otherwise. Fishermen are generally good people.

TexasBasser,
I read over those rules and they sound candid enough. Now, we need to make a list of regions, sign-up dates, categories, start/stop dates, etc. |

Hey guys...
Here is a link to the last forum tournament we held... thought you would be interested to see it: http://www.bassfishin.com/bassfishin...ad.php?t=12055 A few tips we've learned from our past tournaments:
I look forward to seeing the entries come in! Good luck everyone! Kevin

Thnaks for jumpin' in, Kevin.
Do you have any ideas for a prize? What types of prizes have been awarded in the past? |

Some of the past tournaments that Kevin has put together, he has gotten some sponsors to donate some fishing stuff. Ones that are run by members are mostly donated items.

How about a $5 pool?
After we all get signed-up, we send our money to a central source, we'll say Kevin for this example, then we divide the money per category, (5), and whoever wins each category gets 1/5 of the total. Sound good? |

You would almost have to pay your fee by state of residence (or region to be fished) if you are going to do that. That way if the NE region has 20 guys enter and the Tx, CA, FL group only has 10, your entry money doesn't go to another region. In some states, this may be considered gambling and could get some people in trouble. Depending on where Kevin is, or even his hosting, HE could be the one in trouble. Me, I wouldn't take the chance. Most states will allow tournaments if the entirety of the tournament is held within the state, but one that is held like this could be illegal given certain outdated wording in the laws in some states. The only reason I point this out is that I used to work in the Vice unit and we did a lot of gambling investigations...just food for thought again.
If you guys want to do a side pot or something, consider setting it up in e-mail and not on open posts in the forum to avoid any possibility of hastles for Kevin.
