Team Rules and Regulations

HOW THE TEAM COMPETITION WORKS

Any group of from two to four anglers, all of whom are also registered individually in the Rotary Fishing Classic can form a Team. The Team will then compete together against other Teams to enter the best two-fish point combination of the tournament. The registration, point system and payout are separate from the Annual Fishing Classic. If you win, your Team could earn up to 50% of the Team registration fees and each angler is still eligible to win additional prizes in the Fishing Classic, as this is a non-exclusive prize.

Team members will cooperate to enter two fish, each from different species categories (Lake Trout, Salmon or Walleye) which, when added together amass the highest number of Classic Team Prize Points. The two fish may be caught by a single member or by any two different members of the Team during the regular hours of the Classic. At Rotary Headquarters computerized results will keep track of the highest two-fish point total for the top three Teams at any time. These results will also be communicated among the various weigh stations around the lake.

TEAM PRIZES

Your $50 entry fee, along with everyone else’s, goes into the ROTARY CLASSIC TEAM POOL which is segregated from the Classic pool of fees. At the end of the tournament, the winning Team will receive 50% of whatever is in the pool; the second place team will receive 15%, with the third place team receiving 10% and the final 25% going to support the Plattsburgh Rotary Club’s work in the community.

TEAM Prizewinner Determination

The TEAM Prize Point value of each fish entered in the Rotary Fishing Classic shall be determined by multiplying the weight of the fish by the Species Points for that species.

Species Points are as follows: Atlantic Salmon 55, Lake Trout 39, Walleye 51.

To calculate the TEAM points, the weight is multiplied by the “fish factor”

Salmon: weight x 55 = Team Prize Points; Lake Trout: weight x 39 = Team Prize Points; Walleye: weight x 51 = Team Prize Points

Let’s say, a salmon is weighed in at 5 pounds = 275 points; the other team member weighs in a Trout at 10 pounds (390). Total TEAM points = 665
