the season. Only club members are eligible for any of the club championship prizes.
Three places in the club championship sweepstake payout
will be based on points, with payouts of 45%, 35% and 20% of the total club championship sweepstake fund value.
To simplify administration of the series of matches, points
will be awarded to all anglers (including non-members in the OPEN matches) fishing
any of the eligible matches. The winner
of any eligible match will be allocated 60 points, or points equal to the
number of anglers fishing the match if there are more than 60 anglers fishing
the match.
Super Pool payout guidelines
Each season there will be an optional “Super Pool”
sweepstake, with a £20 one-off entry fee payable at the first eligible match fished by
the participating angler.
The
top 3 points scorers of the “Super Pool” participants will be paid out 45%,35%
and 20% of the total “Super Pool” fund.
There must be at least 10 anglers fishing a CLUB match for the winner to be a contender for the Golden Peg fund.
A "Golden Peg” number for each CLUB match will be drawn before the start of the match draw. If the winner of the match fished fished this peg he/she will win the highest-value golden peg sweepstake fund available.
The Golden Peg fund will be capped at a maximum value of £500, with a second fund started if necessary. If there are 2 funds available, there will be 2 golden pegs drawn for that match.
The angler must be present in person in the clubhouse after the match
to be awarded the prize. If he is not present, or the match winner was not on
the “Golden Peg”, the prize money will be carried forward to the next CLUB match.
