Judges will be selected. Judges will remain anonymous to participating members. Judges may participate in the contest. If a judge reveals their duties, they will be dismissed and disqualified from the contest.
Each entrant is responsible for scoring their own animal using the formula below. Judges will look at the entry and PM an acceptance or rejection to the contest director. Once 3 like votes are received by the contest director, the results will be posted. Any entries rejected will be handled in a PM between contest director and entrant. Any questions on scoring should be sent to the contest director by private message. NO DISPUTES WILL BE DEBATED ON THE OPEN FORUM.
Scoring will be as follows:
Each team member will be allowed 5 entries, 2 bucks and 3 does, total of 15 deer per team. You can enter 5 does if you like.
Does will score 50 points.
Buck scoring will be:
10 points for each antler point over 1 inch + measurement of widest outside spread + length of longest tine.
Example: an 8 point buck with an outside spread of 14" and longest tine measuring 8" will score 102 points.
8 X 10 = 80
14 outside spread
8 longest tine
____
102
Button bucks, with at least 1" of exposed antler on any side, and spikes will be scored using the buck formula. If you harvest a Buck you will need to have a picture ot his longest tine as well as it's spread with a tape showing how long! ( outside spread )
Once an entry has been submitted, it cannot be withdrawn.
Cheating will not be tolerated, if you have to cheat to win a small competition, you need more help than can be offered here.
Entries should be posted at maximum 7 days after harvest. No enties will be accepted after January 1, 2009.
I realize people often stay at camp for a week or more during the rut.
The decision of the contest director will be final.
Note from the director:
I think everyone has an idea of how I want this contest to go. Have fun, share information and strategy with your team mates and promote the sport.
A scoring thread will be started before the start of the season.
Good luck to all.
Prizes:
Prizes will be awarded to all 3 members of the top 3 teams in the challenge.
There will also be a prizes for the top 3 big bucks. You will need to have your buck officially scored and post the score card with the entry! Scoring will be Gross, everything he's got! Score him the way he was when you kill him!
I kept the same basic format of last years challenge a few minor changes but nothing significant.
It's still early guys so let me know what you think! These can be revised or stay the same.
Hope to hear from you!
Guys please don't delete you entry after you have submitted it on the entry thread. It screws up the numbers and can make it difficult to add up your score! We can tell if you entry has been deleted so you might think that you are sly but think again!
If you delete from here on out, it is 10/19/08 @ 2:47PM, you will be penalized the amount of point that you attempted to enter!
Example:
You enter a Doe and delete you entry you will lose 50pts. from your teams total.
You enter a Buck that scores 112 you will lose those points from your teams total!
