Fantasy Fishing for the Kingston Open?

Hey Guys,

I've been mulling around this idea for a while and thought I'd put it out for some feedback.

I was thinking of setting up a fantasy fishing game for the Kingston event. I can use the same program I've used for the Renegade Fantasy Fishing.

I was thinking a $5 or $10 buy in, with 50% going to the winner, and %50 going to Soldier On.

Something like:
- Pick 5 anglers
- Score based on weight
- Bonus weight if your guy has top individual 3 weight each day, 2 lb, 1lb, and 0.5 lb.
- bonus if you pick the winner - 3lbs

I would manage all the funds via Paypal or Mail.

So the questions are:

- Would you be interested in playing this?
- Is it better at $5 a head, or $10 a head?
- Or, is this a total waste of my time and I should get back out on the lake?

Thanks

Sounds good, I'm in.

ya Happy Birthday you big bugger, can you vote for yourself???

That is an awesome idea Charles. I'm sure you will have no problem getting evryone to get in on that one. Count me in for sure.

Will you have a fish-off in case of a tie :) ...I'm in Chuck! Happy B-day and nice showing in Que.

later ......... G!

:clap:clap

Wow! Great response! Please keep them coming.

Thanks Everyone... I'm going to go ahead and pull this together.

Thank you very much Bob and Shimano Canada for the rod donation, above and beyond as usual!

I've also been approached for other product donations, and will work that out shortly.

Maybe we'll end up with cash and prizes for 1st, and some prizes for second.

Jacko.... Everyone can play, and pick themselves!

Pete, I'm hoping the bonus weights take care of any ties. Maybe I'll add that if there is a tie, we'll add lbs based on if your picks are in there position in the top 5.

Only in a tie breaker situation if who you picked for 1st finishes 1st - 5lbs, 2nd- 4lbs, 3rd - 3lbs, 4th - 2lbs, 5th- 1lb

If there is a tie beyond that... I'll split stuff up fairly.

Remember the main goal of this is to have some fun, and raise some $$ for Soldier On.

Atta boy, Charles :clap:clap

Some Interesting Developments.... positive and slightly negative.

Following Shimano's lead, Bass Magnet Lures has offer up some prizes as well, Thanks Mike!:clap

We will have from Bass Magnet Lures the following:

1st place finisher - A prize pack worth $50
2nd place finisher - A prize pack worth $25
3rd place finisher - A prize pack worth $25

Development is coming along. I've looked into the Paypal situation, and I can take donations at a cost of $0.59 per $10. So to make things simple, I'll top up to $9.50 from each $10, and have $4.75 from each donation go into the prize pool, and $4.75 from each donation go to Soldier On.

The programming for this is about half done. Hopefully I can crack it off before heading out on the water for the weekend.

i am in where do i sign up

Mark B.... it's coming, hang tight.

Just got word from Simon and Mel, FrostBite Tackle will be matching the Bass Magnet Donation! :clap:clap

1st place finisher - A prize pack worth $50
2nd place finisher - A prize pack worth $25
3rd place finisher - A prize pack worth $25

Great initiative Charles. I'll gladly jump into this.
