Poorman Rules



Poorman Tournament Trail 2008 Rule Revisions The Poorman Tournament Trail consists of 9 tournaments this year: 8 qualifying tournaments, and our 2 day Championship on the Mon. River. Also, we are holding a seperate trail this year called the Poorman After Dark Series. Those tournaments will be the same price as the Day tournaments, $70.00 per team. A small percentage of this money will be going to fund the Regular Season Championship Tournament, with the rest going into a pot for the Points Champion of the After Dark Series. This will be a winner-take-all, 4 tournament Series, for all of us wackos who like 12 hour night tournaments. Rule Changes: The entry fees for each tournament will be $70.00 per boat. These fees have been raised in order to raise money for the Championship Tournament, with hopes of being able to waive the $100.00 entry fee for that tournament, allowing those teams that qualify to fish for free. Big Bass payout will now be 10% of the total pot. Example: 30 boats X $70 = $2,100, Big Bass will pay $210. The money saved will also got into the Championship Tournament. Team members must be designated for the 2008 season by the end of the second tournament (Burnsville). Each team will be allowed one person to use as thier alternate this season, and they may use that person twice. No alternates will be allowed to fish the Championship Tournament. Each team will be allowed to drop 1 tournaments results from their final results of the season. The final Points Standings will be based on the best 7 out of 8 tournament results for each team. This will allow teams to remain in the Point chase even if they miss a tournament, or if you just have a really bad day on the water. Each team must let us know which tournament they would like to drop after the last tournament of the season (New Martinsville). Like last year, there will be a boundary line on the Monongahela River. That boundary is the Point Marion Locks. Any teams fishing beyond this line will be disqualified, and docked 100 points. For a full version of the rules...Click Here.
