1. To be eligible, at least one angler must have
participated in 5 FOCAS events throughout the year.
2. We will meet in front of
Skippers, which
is up the service road from the BP Lakeview Market/Henry Higgins Sales.
Meet at least 15
minutes prior to the listed take-off time for fellowship and prayer.
3. There will be no entry fee. The amount
depends on how much money is generated throughout the tournament year.
4. Weigh-in will be at Shaw's Branch entrance (LBL side of the Barkley
Bridge)
5. Along with a payout for 1st and 2nd place will be a portion of the classic funds
to be determined by the best POKER hand.
Each boat that participates will receive a hand of 5 cards. For each pound of fish that is brought to the scales an
additional card will be dealt to make the best hand possible.
Therefore, the more fish that you catch, the better your chances will be to
take home the poker pot.
(For example, a team that
lands a 2 pound keeper will have the original 5 dealt cards, plus 2 more
(5+2=7). However, a team
that brings in 7 pounds will have 12 cards to make their best poker hand
(5+7=12).
