1st Day (April 30th) Flighting Determination Explanation
Due to angler input, we have determined to put a system in place to ensure fairness in determining flighting-order for Day 1. This system takes into consideration anglers past participation in the LPO, which is very important to continuing the vitality of this tournament. Below is the new system:
• The Frontenac Sportsman’s Club will mail out entry forms to all past participants on February 25, 2011.
• The Public will be able to print off entries at IDoFishing.com beginning February 14th.
All Entry’s Postmarked between February 14, 2011 & March 14, 2011 will be placed in a drawing. This drawing will determine the first wave of boat #’s for day 1 flight-out.
IF you were an entrant in the Lake Pepin Open in 2010, you will have an additional chance in the drawing. For example: IF John Doe fished in 2010, his / her teams name would be on 2 tickets. IF your team did not fish in 2010, then your teams name would be only on 1 ticket.
As long as one person from your team fished the 2010 LPO and has signed up for the 2011 LPO, then you will get 2 tickets.
Drawings for the 1st wave of boat #’s will be held at B-Wells in Frontenac at 6:00 PM on March 15th. A non-tournament angler will be drawing the tickets for flighting order.
All Entry’s received between March 16th and April 11th will be placed in the 2nd drawing. This drawing determines the 2nd wave of boat #’s for day 1 flight-out.
