If you're not familiar with what the Knockout Series is, it's a bracketed, three-fish limit, CPR (catch, photo, release), one-on-one tournament series. You fish until you’re knocked out of the competition!
(Yeah, yeah, same format as the Grudge Match Series. Rich is aware. No need to be a whiny turd and claim that we "stole" the idea.)
Entry fee is a one-time, non-refundable (after March 14, 2017) payment of $50. Payments can be made via PayPal (preferred) or by check/money order. Message me here or on Facebook for my address if mailing a check or for my e-mail address if you want to send payment via PayPal.
Check/money order payments must be received by March 1, 2017. Cutoff for PayPal payments is midnight March 14, 2017. NO EXCEPTIONS! Pairings will be selected the following day
Anglers will be randomly paired to start and beginning on April 1 will have one month to six weeks (depending on how many anglers sign up) to get their match complete.
Each round will run for six weeks, starting April 1 (depending on ice out) until all matches are complete. The exact time periods are as follows:
Round 1: Apr 1–May 12
Round 2: May 13–Jun 23
Round 3: Jun 24–Aug 4
Round 4: Aug 5–Sep 15 (last round with 16 anglers)
Round 5: Sep 16–Oct 28 (last round with 32 anglers)
Winners of each round move on until one angler remains victorious above all others.
We need 16 anglers minimum and will cap it at 32. We currently have 26.
You can find the official rules and FAQs by clicking on the FILES section at the top of the Facebook group page. Please note that the rules for the Knockout Series are more relaxed than those for our regular tournaments. If you plan to fish both series, make sure you know the rules.
