This is just a quick post to go over the format and rules for the weekend, the committee has kindly agreed to put £100 towards any prize fund also Steve Burgess has promised to donate one of his old trophies ( most camp angler award 1996 I think ) all winnings prize funds are based on 18 anglers fishing over the three days.
The format for the weekend is as follows, there are three matches over the weekend using tanners,woodpecker and pines not necessary in that order, each day is an individual match paying top three and one silver pool but also each match there will be a points system which decide the top two anglers over the three matches, as a side note there will be a separate silvers prize based on weight aggregate over the three matches.
FORMAT
£40 POOLS, £10 PER MATCH PLUS £10 OVERALL
EACH DAY, 1ST-£60 2ND-£50 3RD-£30 SILVERS £40
OVERALL WINNER OVER WEEKEND £130
OVERALL SECOND OVER WEEKEND £100
BEST SILVERS AGGREGATE £50
Point system over the weekend is very simple based on two sections of nine anglers you get 1 point for winning down to 9 for the last place angler so lowest points over the three matches wins and so forth also if you DNW it counts as 9 points so pays to weighin everyday guys! in the event of a tie winner will be decided on weight countback, also as stated the highest aggregate silvers weight over the three days will win the silvers pool. this is a rough guide and can be subject to slight changes depending on what people want
