FLOWER MOUND BASS CLUB

RUSTY ROBBINS CLASSIC

RULES 2009

 

 

 

  1. There will be two separate divisions with two separate winners. A boater division and a non-boater division.
  2. The top 8 (eight) in each division will qualify to fish the classic. This will mean 16 (sixteen) anglers will qualify to fish.
  3. Qualification will be based on the year to date final point standings.
  4. We will be counting your top 8 events for the season. You will be allowed to drop your 2 worst events from the 10 event schedule to get to your top 8 point totals. It is possible to qualify fishing less than 8 events if you finish well.
  5. Monthly meeting points will be counted in the final total as usual, 10 pts. per meeting attended.
  6. Final points will be calculated after the final event in November and the drop events are removed. This will be the official qualifying point total. Please keep in mind that YTD POINTS will be kept after each event as usual but will include all events fished.
  7. The winner in the boater division will receive 60% of the tournament fund and the non-boater winner will receive 40% of the tournament fund. We hope to also award plaques at the banquet to both winners.
  8. Parings for the classic will be determined by the order of finish in each division. The boater finishing 1st in the final point total and the non-boater finishing 1st in the final point total will fish together. 2nd will fish with 2nd, 3rd with 3rd and so on.
  9. If a qualifying angler cannot fish then their spot will be awarded to the next angler in that division and so on until the field is full.
  10. If an angler has fished both divisions then you will qualify out of the division that you have fished the most. If it’s a 4-4 split then you will qualify out of the division that your best event finish was in.
  11. The lake to be used will be by a popular vote to be held at the November meeting. All members in attendance will choose a lake by secret ballot. The lake receiving the most votes will be the lake fished for the classic. A slot lake can be voted for but no paper will be used in this event. You must follow the slot if a slot lake is chosen. This will cover all species including spotted bass. The lake being fished in the November tournament is not eligible as a lake choice for the classic.
  12. The lake chosen will be off limits until the morning of the tournament. No information is allowed to be given to an angler by anyone. You may gather public information such as maps, internet forums but you are not allowed to post a request for information or have anyone do this for you. This is the honor system so please adhere to this rule. We want this to be “A day on the Lake tournament” Show up, figure them out and go fish.
  13. Anyone violating this or any rule associated will be disqualified from this and all future club events.
  14. Tournament hours will be 7am – 3pm.
  15. Tournament will be held November 21, 2009.
  16. A list of qualifying anglers and pairings will be posted to the website along with an email being sent to all members within 48 hours of the final event.
  17. If you feel you cannot fish then please let an officer know so we can make the proper adjustment to the field. Once you have decided not to fish this cannot be changed.
  18. Keep in mind the angler with the most accumulated point total regardless of the division after the drop events will be “The Angler of the Year. Angler of the Year and The Rusty Robbins Classic are two separate events even though they use the same YTD point standings.
