Rules: “It is the Fishermen’s Responsibility to know these rules and their changes”!!!!!!!! Please Note The Amendments Made for the Governors Cup/ Angler of The Year. Covid 19 Guidelines will be in place, remember to wear a mask as needed and to socially distance.
Fish Donkey App
All registration and payment must be completed using the app. The Fish Donkey App will be used to photo document fish and will generate live leaderboards. The leaderboards will update throughout the event as fish are submitted. All entries will be considered unofficial until verified.
Measuring & Photo Documenting
FishDonkey in poor reception areas
The app will work without internet. Open the app before heading out to poorly covered areas. Tap on the name of the tourney. Once you see the button ‘Enter a Fish’, head out and fish away. Fish should be entered as normal in bad reception areas. Your Digital Livewell® (fish icon) will show you if there are fish waiting for an internet connection to get pushed into the leaderboard. When you get back to a well connected area, open your Digital Livewell® and leave that screen open/active until all fish are “Received”. If your pictures are missing from the leaderboard, this is what you need to do. Until your pictures are received, do not delete or alter the photos on your phone, as the software will not accept your photos as originals.
Missing Pictures on the Leaderboard? Anglers can tap the fish icon when they get back to an area with good reception and leave that screen open until all fish are “Received”.
Measuring Boards
All measuring devices must be commercially made. You are required to have a board with a 90 degree bend which marks 0, and at least ¼” lines. No handmade measuring boards, stickers, or tape measures allowed. No sliding, retractable, or foldable measuring devices are allowed unless approved by the tournament director. If your measurement is not clearly readable in your submission photo, it may not be accepted, or could be penalized.
[DIRECTORS OPTION] Extra large fish are difficult to measure with a bump board and photographs. For example, sturgeon can be measured more accurately by using video. Bump the nose of the fish against a vertical surface and use a commercial measuring tape to measure the fish. Video from nose to tail, covering the complete length of the fish.
Tournament Director
Your Tournament Director is Marvin O’Hearn LRWC. If you need to reach your director, their contact info is in the “ i “ Info icon within your tournament in the app.
The interpretation and enforcement of the rules is at the sole discretion of the director. The tournament director may change rules or impose sanctions as they deem appropriate, including but not limited to: disqualifications, forfeiture of prizes, and prohibition from competing in future tournaments. All decisions made by the tournament director are final.
Sportsmanship
All participants are expected to follow high standards of sportsmanship, courtesy, safety and conservation. Any participant who displays poor sportsmanship, violates these rules or brings unfavorable publicity to the sport of fishing could be disqualified. Encroachment is considered a sportsmanship rule.
Body of Water
Participants must fish in the area specified for the event. Fishing has to be legal and in public waters only: no private ponds, streams, lakes or rivers. Participants may fish in any water that is open to public fishing. The Boundaries will be Grand Coulee Dam, to the Canadian Border and Napoléon Bridge on the Kettle River.
Inclement Weather/Cancelation
Keep mobile phones on throughout the tournament in order to receive communication from the director in the event of postponement or cancelation. Due to the nature of tournament fishing, no refunds will be issued. This is at the discretion of your tournament director.
Tiebreakers
The tournament director will consider options for determining a tie, which could be 1) time of entry 2) the exact measurement instead of the ¼” measurement 3) the next largest fish submitted by each angler. A tie could also result in shared prizes.
Claiming Prizes
Ensure that your correct address, email, and mobile number appear in your app profile for prize announcements and delivery. Prizes are the responsibility of the winners. Transportation, taxes, and incidentals are the responsibility of the winner.
It is the responsibility of the tournament director to disburse all prizes.
