2nd big fish 30% and 3rd big fish 20% payout.
The port captain has a budget and needs to know how many people need to be fed. Arrangements must be made with the food vendor in advance. If you must cancel, do it as early as possible.
Don’t make the port captain seek you out for payment.
If you have registered, attend the weigh-in. Catch or no catch.
At the least, communicate with the port captain to settle
registration/big-fish payment. In the event you can not attend the weigh-in, the event registration fee must still be paid.
This lets the port captain know everyone is accounted
for and makes his/her job that much easier.
Guests are welcome! (But not eligible for AOTY)
Guests can also join the DAS for $25 at the event.
Choice of DAS Hat or Towel included.
There will be no merchandise at event. Must be picked up at a meeting.
