I thought I would re-post as the old thread has been MIA since the forum upgrade.
The 2016 tournament winner will receive $20,000.00 CASH!
500 Total Public Tickets
Father's Day Weekend (June 18th & 19th)
Pedder Bay Marina - official weigh station
There are still limited numbers of tickets available to the general public for this years event. I believe we have about 75 tickets left now that are not reserved by participants from last years tournament. Those who bought tickets last year have until May 1st to repurchase. After May 1st all tickets not paid for go up for sale to anyone wishing to purchase the tickets. We are asking those who have reserved tickets to please re-purchase online where you can use a credit card and you will get the same numbered ticket as last year. This saves us a lot of work not having to re-do our master ticket list. First time buyers can purchase tickets online or at our retail outlets. (Island Outfitters, Wise Buys, Alpine Marine or Eagle Eye Outfitters) Retail purchases are cash only.
PLEASE NOTE: Our T-shirt order deadline is also May 1st. We will only be placing an order for the number of shirts that match ticket sales to that date. Those who buy tickets after May 1st will have to wait until after the derby to get their shirts. We will place a final order when ticket sales close and we know all sizes and exact numbers required. This to prevent wasting important funds that are intended for the Sooke River Chinook Initiative on shirts we don't need.
Our must attend pub registration nights are being held on May 17th at Darcy's in Langford and on May 19th at the Tally Ho. Those who have purchased tickets online at www.jdfderby.ca can bring their printed receipt to either of these pub nights to pick up their tournament tickets, hats, t-shirts, window stickers and rule booklets. You can also buy into the winner take team jackpots which are available in $100, $250, $500 and $1,000 buy ins. You can enter any number of these jackpots. We will be requiring that all team members are named at the time of purchase and all team members must be fishing from a single vessel. We will also be selling the exact weight and winner take all accumulator jackpot tickets once again. This jackpot sits at around $5800 going into this year's event. Cost is $20 per person and you must ante up $20 for each year the current jackpot has been accumulating. The current jackpot is going into year 3 without being won. This means someone buying a ticket for the 1st time must buy in at $60 to match those who have bought tickets each year.
This year to prevent food and proceeds wastage we will have a drop dead date for our meal order with our caterer. I have not confirmed that exact date at this time but will post it once confirmed. Those buying tickets after that date will not have a meal allocated to them. In the past there has been far to much wastage of both food and revenue that could have gone to our important Chinook project. This year we have upgraded the food to a full roast beef buffet. There will also be live entertainment prior to the meal with the local band "Consenting Adults"
