                              TEAM SIGN-UP PROCEDURE

To avoid anymore confusion and save me unnecessary time and effort,
 PLEASE FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS:

1. Register with Eric by 4/12/12
2. When your name appears on Erics' REGISTERED LIST,
    PM me with screen name, full name, and approved team choice.
    (You need to be approved by one or more members of an existing team)
    (You can also start a new team of 2-10 members)
3. Once I have received your PM, I will put you on your team and your IN.

You do not need to be in the team comp. to be eligible to fish,
 but you do need to fish with someone with a VHF for safety puposes

If I have missed someone that is REGISTERED and PMed me,
you want to start a new team,
I put someone on wrong team,
or your on a team and can't make it,
 PM me.

I will be at Erics' safety/intro meeting at the launch
and at the campground Friday evening for teams
needing to make final adjustments.
No team adds or drops will be accepted after 9:00 p.m. Fri.
(unless I'm still awake and you bring some bribe payola, gear or beer)

TEAM TOURNEY RULES
1. Team Average Format
    Total team points divided by the number of anglers on team=Team score
2. All scores on the team will be averaged,
     whether an angler fished or not,
     posted a score or not,
     got skunked or not
     or was a no show.
3. Late scores will not be accepted.
    Once The main board closes it's done.

Finally,
 Some of you know I'm not the "competitive type" when it comes to fishing.
I started the Team Tourney component of Gimme Shelter last year (Thanks Eric!)
as a way for me to personally give back to the community (NCKA) and tournament (Gimme Shelter)
that has been so influencial in my life over the past 5 years.
It's my hope that we can "compete" in the true spirit of sportsmanship,
to congratulate and celebrate the victorious and come to the realization
that we are all winners when we are on the water together persuing our passion!

Thanks,
Tad- GS Team Tourney Coordinator

Funny thing Eric, dropped a check in the mail Mon. P.M., and worked in your back yard ( Bear river casino ) today . 
Looks like I may be back Fri / Sat., any suggestions where to eat ?, staying in Fortuna Fri. night.

Tim

We like Las Cazuelas, Tim. Go through town heading east on Main and it turns south and becomes four lane Fortuna Blvd. At that point you'll see Ray's Food Place - Las Caz is behind it. Tell them Eric sent you.

I'm on the verge of getting the ok from the wife, still working on it though.

Also, I'd like to bring my dad to do some fishing as well, but he doesn't kayak and isn't a strong swimmer so kayaking is out for him.  Does anyone know if there are any party/charter boats out there I can get him onto for Saturday?  I know he would enjoy the experience.

They might be booked for the lingcod/rockfish opener, but give it a shot - these guys know their stuff and catch some amazing fish both close to the Cove (where we'll be yakking) as well as areas within 10 miles of launch.   Good luck, and I hope you and your Dad can make it.   

Couple more new entries today:  Daviator and Naoaki - welcome!  I'll update the list later from home now that I've paid another $180 to fix up my clunker Dell...
