Information on how to run a Tournement

Basic Steps

Step1

Determine the purpose and scope of the tournament. It might be to promote sport fishing, to test the skills of the participants, to provide fellowship and camaraderie among the participants, or something else. Will this be a small one-time event, or part of something bigger?

Step2

Develop an organization to oversee the tournament, dividing the duties of planning and promotion among the group's members.

Step3

Choose the tournament date and location, and the species of fish that will be targeted by fishermen. Most freshwater tournaments focus on one species, such as largemouth bass or walleye.

Step4

Contact the Ministry that oversees fishing regulations in the area where the tournament will be staged for both the bag limits, as well as to obtain any necessary permits to conduct the tournament.

Step5

Draft the contest rules and post them on the tournament website. Rules should cover entry fees and prize structure, scoring methods (total weight or point system), limits on number and size of fish (especially if more restrictive than state regulations), and rules on the handling of fish. Many fishing tournaments support bringing fish in alive and releasing them after weigh-in.

Organizational Responsibilities

Step1

Appoint a coordinator to oversee the efforts of all of the people assigned to tasks.

Step2

Pick someone responsible for promoting the event through posters, newspaper advertising, radio, television and the Internet.

Step3

Have someone serve as the liaison with the township agency that oversees fishing and fishing tournaments.

Step4

Get a mailing list of possible contestants from local fishing clubs or the like and send each prospective contestant an entry form and complete rules.

Step5

Arrange for lodging for all the fishermen competing in the tournament. This can be as simple as booking a campsite or as sophisticated as securing rooms in a nearby hotel.

Step6

Provide food for all of the anglers. Lunch can be sandwiches and soda given to each fisherman before he sets out, because the anglers will probably spend lunch hour on the water, while breakfast and dinner should be sit-down meals.

Step7

Contact local organizations as well as fishing equipment manufacturers to be sponsors and to provide prizes for the event.

Now these are only some of the basic idea's that go into a Tournement.
