2011 Derby Rules

1. Minimum Bass Length 20”
2. Two Bonus Prizes will be awarded for the heaviest pickerel and bucket “O” Fish. Bucket “O” fish will be the combined weight of perch and crappie in a 5 gallon bucket. A total of two separate $100.00 prizes will be awarded.
3. All fish shall be submitted in a fresh pliable condition. Frozen fish will not be accepted. Fish typically lose weight the longer they are out of the water.
4. All state regulations applying to Little Ossipee Lake shall apply for the tournament. (Reference 2011 Ice Fishing Regulations)
5. The winners will be determined by the heaviest fish of any species common to Little Ossipee Lake ( Excluding Cusk).
6. All entries shall be caught on Little Ossipee Lake from ½ hour before sunrise until tournament end at 3:30 p.m. the day of February 15, 2011.
7. Tickets will be sold at Gray True Value (657-3502) until Friday 2/19/11, the Lakeside Market in Waterboro, ME (247-8440) until 9:00 am 2/20/2011 and at RT5 Boat Launch during the day of the Derby from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.
8. A registered contestant may enter more than one fish into the tournament, provided the subsequent fish are within the persons legal bag limit. (For example: the limit on bass is one fish, so once a contestant has submitted a bass they have killed their bag limit and may not enter another.)
9. Children may enter the adult division provided they have purchased an adult ticket and are then only eligible for adult prizes. A child may not enter both divisions
10. Fish will be weighed at the official weigh station near the boat launch. The designated officials will weigh the fish and determine an exact weight. The contestant will verify the weight and it will be final. If an entry makes the leader board, it will be logged, tagged and placed in a secure area. All fish submitted that do not make the leader board will be marked and returned immediately. (Marking is to prevent weights from being altered and re-submitted or the fish being entered in another division.) There will be no re-weighing after contestant confirmation.
11. Door prizes will be drawn throughout the day approximately on the hour between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. These winners need not be present to collect the prizes. FET will contact the winner. The prizes may be picked up within two weeks at a specified location. Any prizes not collected will be added to the next years event or returned to the sponsor.
12. Post Tournament Door Prizes will be drawn after weigh-in is closed at 3:30 p.m. These prizes must be collected when drawn by the winner or a person holding their ticket. If the prize is not promptly collected, it will be re-drawn until there is a winner.
