I doubt anyone is out diving today so we have one more month to go for DOTY 2012!!

 :smt004

Current leaders are :

1. Fuzz 3104.25
2. BigJim 2461
3. Rick 2370.875
4. Norcalslayer 2362.625
5. Nelson Kwok 2236.375
6. Sharkbait 2172.875

Then bloodbath is only 836.625 points behind Nathan!  :smt002

http://doty.ncka.org/leaderboard/list

I personally will be lucky to get one more dive day before I head home to New Orleans on 12/20 for Christmas and New Years so will have to sit back and watch and see how many spots I drop between now and 12/31!

 :smt005

The DOTY 2012 champ will get the traditional Piscean Plaque.  :smt004

Besides the plaque we will have a wide array of prizes including custom dive boards and flag mounts from Pacific Nalu, an awesome hand made speargun from lucky13, killer items from our very own artist extraordinaire Amadeo Bachar, an EXCELLENT UK sl4 eLED L1 Dive Light from Austin's Diving, and goodies from the Freedive Shop in Sacramento.

 :smt004

We will be doing a raffle system for the prizes.

Each participant will get a ticket for each different species that they have submitted. The more species a participant has submitted, the more tickets they will have in the drawing, and the higher chance they will get called early on in the drawing. When their ticket is pulled they will get to choose the prize they want from the prize table. Each participant will only get to choose one prize.

If the participant can't make the Awards Ceremony (date and location TBD) I will choose their prize for them and figure out a way to get it to them.

This will give everyone who has participated a chance to get a prize.

 :smt001

Should be fun.

Hoping to get even more folks to play in DOTY 13, and make it even better and more FUN!

 :smt004

Sincerely,

Jim

I thought the 830+ points was a big enough gap to cut you off the list.   :smt002 :smt005 :smt044 :smt044

KING KONG IN DA HAWSE! 

That's right.  Guess who just paid to enter DOTY.  I figure this should be enough time for you suckas to get a head start.  So take a good look at your place on the leaders board, save a screen shot, kiss it if you're so inclined cuz every single one of you will be bumped down a spot.   :smt006

I just need to get a hawg trough then I'm set.  :smt003

She called it her magic red fish...sucks cuz now everytime I come home after diving (no matter how full the cooler is of Ling, cabbies, RF, eels, abalone, urchins etc) she asks if I brought her a magic red fish and I have to say no honey, I tried but failed...again.

 :smt009 :smt010 :smt009 :smt044 :smt044 :smt044 :smt044

Fuzz came over one night and gave her one and she was so excited she literally swooned and fell over on the carpet!  :smt005 :smt044 :smt044 :smt044 :smt044

Going saturday, and if I don't get one this saturday I'm going next sunday...and that will be it for 2012 cuz I fly home to NOLA the week after.

I'm on a mission!!!
