Board only virtual tourney

Just had this idea and thought it would be good for the board and it's members. If anyone would like to participate and have any ideas on how it could work let me know.

Im thinking three bass bag over the course of a month averaged out so that way it will be a bit more even for those who fish once or every day. I would require a picture of the fish caught posted on the board for verification of aproximate size and maybe a scale shot being weighed as well( not required but will help). This is a fun tourney so none has the right to complain about discepencies etc and if you do then do it quitely on your own in a dark corner of your house...again THIS WILL BE FUN ONLY.

Quick thought on the "rules"

THREE FISH BAG PER OUTING
TWO PEOPLE PER TEAM MAX
ON SHORE OR BY BOAT,KAYAK,CANOE FLOAT TUBE ETC ALLOWED..So basically if you can catch a bass it counts ( LEGALITY OF FISHING AND MnR RULES WILL APPLY)
STARTS FIRST OF MONTH AND RUNS TILL END OF MONTH
PRIZES FOR TOP THREE ( Prizes will be small and for obligitory self promoting of being the best bass catcher on the board and will be by donation) Ed, Crystal, RJ etc if you have very old stock or swag here is a chance to get rid of it and also help out the site!! No pressure on that just thought I would ask.
AVERAGE OF BAGS OVER COURSE OF THE MONTH
ANY SPECIES OF BASS WILL WORK..EVEN ROCK BASS.
AN EXTRA .5LBS WILL BE GIVEN TO THE BIGGEST BASS OF THE MONTH AND AN EXTRA .5LBS TO THE YOUNGEST ANGLER THAT CATCHES THE BIGGEST BASS.
TEAMS CAN CHANGE AT ANY TIME IE YOU DO NOT REQUIRE THE SAME TEAM MEMBER FOR EVERY OUTING.
FISHING WITHIN 2 HOURS OF OTTAWA ONLY AND QUEBEC IS ALLOWED AS WELL
YOU CAN NOT USE FISH FROM A SPONSOR SUPPORTED TOURNEY..ONLY PERSONAL VENTURES FOR RELAXATION AND ENJOYMENT WILL COUNT.
I WILL MAKE ERRORS AND THAT WILL NEED TO BE EXPECTED AND ACCEPTABLE TO ALL. IF YOU CAN NOT PLAY NICELY OR SORT OF NON COMPETITIVE THEN THIS IS NOT FOR YOU.
AT END OF TOURNEY A TALLY WILL BE POSTED WITH THE TEAMS AND HOW THEY RANK.

So just a thought and if there is enough interest we will do this for Sept 1 2014.

Let me know. Please dont post that it is a stupid idea because I already know it could be stupid but I am trying to get the board back together in a fun format...Have I said fun enough yet?? FUN FUN FUN.

Cheers all.

Great idea Pete

May I suggest editing it to state 2 hours from Gatineau-Pontiac?

2 hours from QC can be interpreted as VT, NB etc.

The only rule to high end gear is that you need to show at least one birds nest per 30 casts!! Or in my case 1 for 1...lol

I'll be mostly targeting trout and walleye in September but you can count me in, would there be a separate winner for the biggest largemouth vs the biggest smallie?

I think that is a dandy idea. And now it is so! That will keep people interested a bit more I think.

Just bumping this up in case it got lost in the shuffle. We have 4 people who would be up for this right now so if anyone else wishes to have a fun virtual tourney then let me know. I am going with this if we have about 10 people interested.

Cheers
