Payout on Cat Classic?

[Guest]

There was 42 teams paid up as of Friday night at the rules meeting, and the cash was pro-rated acordingly by the format listed in the rules. See the link Rick posted for the format and payout details.

The big fish "Boss Hog" pots was signiicant for both days. Don't miss out on that if you enter in 2003! None of the top placers won the "Boss Hog" pots in 2002.

There will be many more teams in 2003, the way it looks 65 will be the cut off. Get in early to gain an early launch number for day #1. Day #2 launch order is set in order of finish on day #1.

The event will likely be based from Selkirk Park in 2003? Those details will come soon for 2003.

Look for a web site to be set up for details on the 2003 Cats Classic, including rules as well as deadlines for entry.

As soon as I get the details I will pass them along.

WEATHER CONDITIONS

Saturday, August 17th: The 80 anglers and the weigh teams had to
endure driving rain all morning with the wind
speed increasing up to 70 km/hr from the NW in
the afternoon. In the afternoon the temperature
only reached 15 C (60 F). It was truly a day of
misery for the anglers and the weigh teams who
tried desperately hard to keep their electronic
scales and receipt books as dry as possible.

Sunday, August 18th: It was very calm at start time and the day started
out with broken clouds. The temperature reached
about 22 C (71 F) by 2:00 p.m. It was a much more
enjoyable day of fishing for the 74 anglers who
ventured out.

To all those anglers who competed in the 2002 Cats On The Red Catfish Classic
Stu McKay and I hope you enjoyed yourselves. As Tourney Co-Chairman I sincerely
apologize to those teams who had to exchange their prizes as the result of an error in
our weight recordings for a couple of teams. We hope when the tournament is held
next year that each team will have a representative checking out its total weight for
both days at the scorekeeper’s table. See Rule #9 for this year’s tournament.
