"Official" 2008 CFF Cat-Quest Tournament rules and sign-up thread. 10-18-08

[SpurHunter]

<font size="3">As promised we are going to make this a 100% fun TX. </font></p>

<font size="3">WLG and I talked about a bunch of ways to make this work, and think we have come up with a great format. </font></p>

<font size="3">Rules, (if you call them that)</font></p>

1. <font size="3">We will post a logo at 6PM the night before the TX, on the CFF, that will need to be in a picture of the fish. Print off a couple copies to take on the boat with you. </font>
2. <font size="3">You can and should take multiple pics of your catch, but only one pic of each individual fish will have to have a logo in it.</font>
3. <font size="3">We would like to see weights and length measurements of any good fish if possible. (will make more sense after reading all this)</font>
4. <font size="3"><u>Unlimited</u> partners in your boat.want to take the whole family, go for it. Want to fish by yourself, go for it, (pics are hard that way though)</font>
5. <font size="3">Only rods and reel please, no trot-lines, grabbling, or jugs for this TX. </font>
6. <font size="3">Any bait, live, dead, or dying is OK! emoLaugh (yes even chix breast)</font>
7. <font size="3"><u>YOU CAN FISH ANY WATERS YOU LIKE</u>! Yes, you can fish Nick, Chick, Wheeler, G-ville...anywhere. </font>
8. <font size="3">NO entry fee! (Nada, zero, zilch)</font>
9. <font size="3">There will NOT be a meet-up prior too, or after the TX, unless you like fellow CFF members and want to do it for fun! emoLaugh</font>
10. <font size="3">8AM EST till 3PM (honor system)</font>
11. <font size="3">ALL reports will have to go on the Official results thread after the TX no later than 10-19-08 at 3PM est to qualify.</font>
12. <font size="3">The better your report, or "story" of your outing the better your chances of winning.</font>

<font size="3">Now for the fun part! The winner/winners will be decided by........CFF members! That is right, we are going to see if we can get a poll attached to the official thread TX results thread, and ANY member will vote for who they think is the winner! That means if a child catches a huge fish, (may not be the biggest of the TX??), and members think that is a better haul than BPrice catching a monster, they can vote for that kids boat. Say Hoggerhead's Ol'lady catches a monster on light line....folks may vote for her. EricM hangs a toad on 4lb line and fights it for 6 hours...well don't vote for him!! Kidding, but you get the point. I would say that if you like to catch and clean GIANT coolers full of eater sized fish, do that and take a pics of your haul, you never know what might get you votes! Make your story entertaining, with as good of pictures as you can to help you win the vote! Yes, begging, bribery and pay-offs are acceptable....(depends on your own conscience!)</font></p>

<font size="3">What is the prize you say?? That will be determined at a later date, but I think we are hoping First Light will supply us with the goodies! We are only expecting to have a single prize for the "winning" team, but will see where this goes. </font></p>

<font size="3"><font color="#ff0033" size="5">Please use this thread for a sign-up!!!</font> </font></p>

[SpurHunter]

"Team Cat-Spur" will be there! </p>

Probably on the great, wide Chick of course! emoLaugh</p>

 

[rsimms]

Spur... I am assuming you took a blow to the head when you kicked her into "ramming speed" at Watts Bar Dam? 8-18-08 went by one week ago. I believe you meant 10-18-08? </p>

Looks like a fun, unique format. Count me in... partner(s) TBD. </p>

If WLG and drc hook up... or if EricM can buy enough bubble gum and duct tape to float his boat again, we're all toast. emoBeer</p>

 

[SpurHunter]

Yup Richard, small typo, but it is fixed now. Glad your going to play with us!! emoEnforce

 

[hoggerhead]

Count me in.

 

[SpurHunter]

hoggerhead - 8/24/2008 11:43 AM Count me in.

</p>

I assume "Team Hogger"?</p>

Spur... I am assuming you took a blow to the head when you kicked her into "ramming speed" at Watts Bar Dam? </p>

Nope. He took the blow to the head shortly BEFORE that when I realized he was putting me through my nightmare again. I love the format! Truly a "fun" tournament with everyone able to participate - by fishing or voting or both! I really like the fact that anyone can win, and it encourages folks to take the kids and have a ball. They don't even have to catch a fish to win!!!! I'm in! Team name to be announced (probably TEAM OhPoopNotAgain) And I WILL NOT be fishing with SPUR (or Mr. Wiskers unless I want to hang onto the side of his boat). </p>

<font size="4">Wanted: backseater (or two) for Cat-Quest Tournament fishing adventure. Must have own tools. 3-5 years experience with bondo and duct tape a must. Will require master bailing certificate or pass a proficiency test. Ability to swim a plus. Will also require latest stress-test analysis or waiver form. Call 1-800-OhPoopNotAgain, or PM me. This should be FUN!</font></p>

</p>

<font size="4">100% correct! It is feasible that someone could win without catching a single fish, unlikely, but the votes will determine the outcome, so every single team has the same chance!</font></p>

 

[SpurHunter]

So I assume EricM's team is "Team Ductape"? emoPoke OR maybe "Team Hubba Bubba"?

SpurHunter - 8/24/2008 12:01 PM

hoggerhead - 8/24/2008 11:43 AM Count me in.

</p>

I assume "Team Hogger"?</p>

I dont know? With my track record here lately down in the gorge, might be team duckbutter.

 

[EricM]

Man, you just ain't gonna beleive this one. The first PM I got for a partner was.........are you ready for this?...........MR WISKERS. I always believed Michael had more sense than that! He even said (in teeny tiny little letters) that we could use his boat if we need to. Would somebody run over to his house and see if he'll be OK?
Maybe he's been fishing too close to Moccassin Bend???

 

[MrWiskers]

His bad luck has to run out soon and when it does the universe will balance its self out and we will kill them. Or my boat will sink. Either way we will not get board.

 

[captXtreme]

Count me in Erik, partners T B A later. </p>

James</p>

 

[bassnbug]

sounds like fun, count me in. partners to be announced as soon as i can find me a ringer, i was going to pm erickm but i am scared to get in a boat with him lately. maybe i'll try and see if rsimms or wlg can be bribed. emoPoke

 

[SpurHunter]

I need team names guys! Glad to see so many folks are going to participate too...keep them coming!

 

[WLG]

You can count me in...and I might bring the ""SECRET WEAPON""....my wife. She' the one you gotta watch!!!

 

[foodsaver]

Wish I could make this one I will be in iowa. hope you all tear them up.
