ENTRY FEE AND REGISTRATION:
If you register early for this event you can save with Early Bird rates. If entry fees are paid before 30th June 2011 the fee is $70 per tournament competitor. Entries made after this date but before the 31st August 2011 are $90 per competitor. Entries after this date as well as on the day are $120. Registering on the day can only be done at the Event HQ and only cash payments will be accepted and these must be paid and you must report for briefing before you commence fishing. However, if you do register to compete at the event you are not guaranteed an entry kit (brag mat and State coloured SOO t-shirt) and will only receive an official measuring device and the unique item. Entry forms not correctly filled out will render the entrants ineligible for the prize and trophy draw. All entrants must report to the Event HQ before commencing fishing in the competition to receive the event briefing and sign Competitor Participation form. The Event HQ will be open from 8am - 12pm each day to report for briefing and submit entries of fish (if you need to turn up outside these hours to be briefed and submit entries you may need to contact an event staff member to ensure someone is around). Upon successfully reporting to the Event HQ each angler will receive a unique Competitor Number which will be used to identify them throughout the competition. Ensure you keep this number and return it to organisers at the prize presentation for inclusion in a possible lucky door prize. No number means no chance for lucky door prize.
