com web site. Contestants are responsible to fax or e-mail in a copy of their "Proof of Registration" to: The fax number is
(216) 961-9211, the e-mail is: virgil@fishcrazycharters.com. NSF check payments will result in temporary suspension of
the contestant and are subject to a $ 50.00 fee. The NSF fee plus the registration fee must be paid in CASH at the above
address, at which time the registration will take effect. Failure to satisfy a bounced check, together with the NSF fee, will
result in permanent suspension of the contestant from this and all future derbies. Registrations received after November 30
WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED and registration fees will be returned in full.
2. Ohio Fishing Rules and Regulations. All contestants must follow the Ohio fishing rules and regulations while fishing in
the Derby. Any contestant receiving a citation during the Derby period, from ANY Ohio law enforcement agency in
regards to fishing regulations, will be disqualified from this tournament. Fish can be caught at any time during the derby
period in Lake Erie Ohio waters and its Ohio tributaries ONLY!
3. Registrations are accepted throughout the entire duration of the Derby. However, all contestants registering during the
derby period and who weigh in a prize winning fish caught within the first 72 hours after the registration MUST
UNDERGO A MANDATORY POLYGRAPH EXAMINATION! The lie detector test cost is deducted from the contestant's
winnings unless it is the Grand Prize winner, in which case the cost of the mandatory lie detector test will be covered by
the derby. The above lie detector test is waved when the contestant’s weigh-in form is signed by a “WITNESS”*. The
witness and the contestant carry the same responsibility for the fish caught.
* WITNESS is a registered Derby contestant who is present and witnesses the catch.
4. Designated Rods/Lines Rule. Fishing is permitted using only DESIGNATED RODS/LINES from shore, boat or charter.
Contestants must reel in their fish; assistance with netting a legally caught fish is acceptable. There is a maximum of two
"Designated Rods/Lines" allowed per contestant at any time while fishing for the Derby, with only a maximum of three
hooks per line. Fish counted for the derby can be caught by ANY CONTESTANT ON ANY OF THE DESIGNATED
ROD/LINE. The following procedure must be used to assign "Designated Derby Rods/Line: 1. The Rod/Line must be out
of the water with “FREE LURE(S)” ( NO FISH ON) at the time it is assigned as a "Designated Rod/line". 2. In the event
the Contestant desires to assign a different Rod/Line instead of an already existing one, both the new Rod/Line to be
designated and the existing designated one must be out of the water at the same time, with “FREE LURES” (NO FISH
ON), before the new Rod/Line can be designated. Boat occupants DO NOT ALL NEED to be registered in the Derby.
5. ONLY ONE PRIZE ALLOWED PER CONTESTANT! Contestants can only claim the LATEST, LARGEST PRIZE
their Weigh-Ins qualifies them for. In the event a contestant holds a winning placement and then moves up in prize or wins
an equal prize later, the contestant placing immediately bellow them in the standings will claim the prize. The application of
this rule guarantees that once a contestant wins one of the weeks or months as a 1st place winner for that period, they can
never lose that prize, only win another equal or larger prize instead, later in the derby.
6. Weigh-Ins. Contestants can weigh-in and register an unlimited number of fish throughout the duration of the Derby at
no additional cost. A registered fish is considered for the weekly cash prize for the week it was caught in, the monthly
cash prize for the month it was caught in, and the over-all leader board. All weigh-in stations will follow tournament weigh-
in procedures. A weighed and measured fish will be “marked” by removing its eyes, contestants must agree with this
procedure. "Marked" fish will not be accepted. For a fish to be considered for the week or month it was caught in, the fish
MUST BE WEIGHED by noon the day following the week or the month it was caught in. All weigh-ins are concluded at 3:
00pm on November 30. Be sure to contact the official weigh-in station of your choice for their hours of operation.
Contestants are allowed to have their fish taken to the weigh-in stations by another party, HOWEVER THE
CONTESTANTS ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR FISH, AND THE WEIGH-IN FORM MUST BE
COMPLETED AND SIGNED BY THE CONTESTANT, both top and bottom portions. The weigh-in station will fill in their
portion at the time of the weigh-in. Contestants, or their party, will receive a PROOF OF THE WEIGH-IN, WHICH THE
CONTESTANT MUST PRESENT TOGETHER WITH THE PROOF OF REGISTRATION TO BE GIVEN CREDIT FOR
THE FISH CAUGHT! Contestants are responsible to fax or e-mail in their PROOF OF WEIGH-IN. The fax number is:
(216) 961-9211, the e-mail is: virgil@fishcrazycharters.com. All scales used are certified, and the weight is measured
down to 5 thousandth of a pound (0.005). Measurements are obtained by collapsing/pinching the tail for the longest length
of the fish. Measuring is done once on each side of the fish and the longest obtained length is to be used. Any tampering
with the fish to obtain an unnatural and altered weight or measurement will result in immediate disqualification of the fish
and/or the contestant. A list of the OFFICIAL WEIGH-IN STATIONS can be found on the official Derby Web Site: http:
//www.fishcrazycharters.com
7. Using the fish for other tournaments is allowed, as long as the participants, while fishing both tournaments
consecutively, follow this derby's rules. However, the fish must be weighed at one of our official weigh-in station!
8. Minors. Participants 18 years old and younger, the registration must be co-signed by an adult legal guardian to the
minor. The adult co-signer is also allowed to register and participate in the tournament with purchase of separate
registration, but is not required to do so in order to co-sign for the minor.
9. Polygraph Examinations (Lie Detector Tests). The 1ST. PLACE WINNER of the Derby MUST submit to a
MANDATORY polygraph examination. Two more additional MANDATORY polygraph examinations will be administered
at random. Additional polygraph examinations may be required of any derby contestant at the Tournament’s Committee’s
discretion. Arrangement to administer the examinations will be made with the closest available certified polygraph
examiner. If such arrangement cannot be made, the contestant must be available for testing at the time and place
designated by the Tournament's Committee. The participant MUST be available for the examination immediately.
Participants to be examined cannot be under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication. A participant under such
chemical influence at the time of examination will be considered a refusal on the participant’s part. A participant’s fitness
to be examined is at the sole discretion of the polygraph examiner. Only the actual cost of the test will be covered by the
derby. Only polygraph examiners chosen by the Tournament Committee will be used.
10. Tiebreakers. Ties by weight are decided through length measurements. If still a tie, than a coin flip will decide the
winner. The loser of the coin toss will drop down one place in standings. All contestants, or appointed representatives of
the contestants, must be present for the coin toss. If one party is not represented, the winner will be the one contestant
represented. If both parties are not represented, they will both lose their place in the standings. If necessary, the coin
tosses will be held at 7:00pm at FishCrazy Charters location on December 04. A contestant can appoint anyone as his or
her representative at the coin toss through a written letter naming the name of their representative.
11. W-9. Any contestant receiving a prize greater than $ 600.00 will be required to complete a W-9 form prior to receiving
the prize money.
12. Protests: Any contestant has the right to protest another contestant. The protest must be made in writing to the
Tournament Committee any time during the derby, no later than 24 hours of the completion of the Derby, and must include
the protest fee of $ 300.00, all documentation, list of witnesses, etc., to uphold your protest. If the protest is upheld the fee
will be returned. If it is not, no refund will be given. A lie detector test MAY be used to address the protest, and must be
taken by the contestant(s) in question. Failure to submit to a lie detector and/or failure of the test will result in immediate
disqualification. Contact for protests: FishCrazy Charters. LLC, 1387 West 87 St., Cleveland Ohio, 44102. 216-408-0404.
