Many of our members fish only the Chesapeake Bay, while others fish the ocean. In order to be as fair as possible, the MSSA Board of Directors has decided to continue with the same program that was established for bay and ocean participants. We will present three awards for our 2009 program. The three divisions will be: To be eligible to win one of these prestigious awards simply enter the tournaments that pertain to your area of fishing, or you could try to win the Overall Captain of the Year by entering all four tournaments. Each captain that enters a tournament will automatically be entered into the contest and will receive points for entering each tournament. Additional points will be awarded to each captain for weighing in fish during the tournaments. You are eligible to enter 3 fish of each tournament species, if you are entered into each individual species category. This includes all special categories species as well. At the conclusion of the Tournament Series the captain with the most points will be declared the winner. The winners will receive a magnificent trophy and free entry into the following year's tournaments in their prospective category. Total value of the three awards is worth more than $1,300 to the winners. Enter Each Tournament and Receive The Following Points: 26th Annual Spring - 100 Points May 1-3, 2009 20th Annual Tuna-ment - 50 Points June 26-27, 2009 1st Annual Inshore Beach-N-Boat - 100 Points September 12-13, 2009 17th Annual Chesapeake Bay Fall - 50 Points November 21-22, 2009 Points to be awarded according to the following formulas: SPRING: Entries (divided by) 2 PLUS Fish Weight TUNA-MENT: Entries X 2 PLUS Fish Weight INSHORE BEACH-N-BOAT: Entries X 3 PLUS Fish Weight X 3 CHESAPEAKE BAY FALL: Entries X 3 PLUS Fish Weight X 2 |
