OFFICIAL RULES

Geaux Fish Tournament

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. YOU HAVE NOT WON. A PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING.

CONTEST OVERVIEW: Geaux Fish Tournament (the "Contest") begins on July 2, 2011 and ends September 5, 2011 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time ("ET") (the "Contest Period"). The Contest provides anglers the opportunity to catch a tagged fish that can be worth up to $250,000 or other prizes, as described below. By participating in the Contest, each entrant unconditionally accepts and agrees to comply with and abide by these Official Rules and the decisions of Louisiana Charter Boat Association, 13824 Red River Ave., Baton Rouge, LA 70818 ("LCBA") and BP Exploration & Production Inc., 501 Westlake Park Blvd., WL1-21.160, Houston, TX 77079 ("BP" and collectively, with LCBA, "Sponsor"), which shall be final and binding in all respects.
ELIGIBILITY: The Contest is open only to legal U.S. residents who are eighteen (18) years of age or older. Contest is void where prohibited by law. Employees, officers and directors of LCBA, SCA Promotions, Inc. ("SCA"), The Ehrhardt Group, and each of their respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, distributors, retailers, sales representatives, advertising and promotion agencies, and Louisiana Game & Fish representatives directly involved with the Contest (collectively, the "Contest Entities"), and their immediate family members and/or those living in the same household of each are ineligible to enter the Contest or win a prize. Current employees of BP are ineligible to enter the Contest or win a prize, however family members of current BP employees and former retired BP employees are eligible to participate. Only individuals may participate. Contest is not open to commercial charter boat captains or crewman, however paying charter customers/individuals on those boats are eligible to participate.
HOW IT WORKS:To participate, visit the website at www.geauxfish2011.com (the "Website") during the Contest Period, and complete the participation form with the information requested. Eligible anglers do not have to register prior to catching a tagged fish.

Prior to the start of the Contest Period, representatives of SCA will prepare a minimum of fifty (50) tags with unique numbers. SCA will then randomly pre-select one (1) of the unique numbers as the "Grand Prize Winning Number." The remaining forty-nine (49) tag numbers will be randomly assigned to other prizes as described below. Then representatives of Sponsor and/or SCA and/or Louisiana Game & Fish will randomly and evenly tag and release a minimum of fifty (50) fish each tagged with one of the unique numbers throughout the "Eligible Waters" (as defined below). If a registered participant catches a tagged fish during the Contest Period, he/she must go to the Website and log-in using the username and password created at registration (if he/she has already registered for the Contest) or follow the on-screen instructions to register for the Contest. Once an eligible angler has logged in or registered at the Website, he/she must then follow the on-screen instructions to register the tagged fish. Any tagged fish caught must be registered on the Website within twenty-four (24) hours of the catch. Administrator will then compare the tag number entered to the Grand Prize Winning Number and if the tag number matches the Grand Prize Winning Number exactly and in order, that entrant wins the Grand Prize, subject to the conditions noted below and verification of eligibility. If the tag number does not match the Grand Prize Winning Number, the Sponsor will determine the prize associated with the tag number entered. The time and date of registration on the Website will determine the order in which a fish has been caught and presented for purposes of the Contest. Sponsor and/or Administrator will contact any potential winner after verifying a tag number, with details regarding the prize won and to provide instructions to confirm eligibility and to claim the prize. Potential winners must provide Sponsor and/or Administrator with the actual tag and may be required to provide a photograph of the participant with the tagged fish at the time of the catch.

The following conditions must be met in order to be considered for the Grand Prize:
  • A) If an eligible angler catches the fish tagged with the Grand Prize Winning Number and the fish is the first tagged fish caught and registered on the Website, he/she will be eligible to win $10,000 cash.
  • B) If an eligible angler catches the fish tagged with the Grand Prize Winning Number and the fish is the second tagged fish caught and registered on the Website, he/she will be eligible to win $15,000 cash.
  • C) If an eligible angler catches the fish tagged with the Grand Prize Winning Number and the fish is the third tagged fish caught and registered on the Website, he/she will be eligible to win $20,000 cash.
  • D) If an eligible angler catches the fish tagged with the Grand Prize Winning Number and the fish is the fourth tagged fish caught and registered on the Website, he/she will be eligible to win $25,000 cash.
  • E) If an eligible angler catches the fish tagged with the Grand Prize Winning Number and the fish is the fifth tagged fish caught and registered on the Website, he/she will be eligible to win $250,000 cash.
  • F) If an eligible angler catches the fish tagged with the Grand Prize Winning Number and the fish is the sixth tagged fish caught and registered on the Website, he/she will be eligible to win $25,000 cash.
  • G) If an eligible angler catches the fish tagged with the Grand Prize Winning Number and the fish is the seventh tagged fish caught and registered on the Website, he/she will be eligible to win $20,000 cash.
  • H) If an eligible angler catches the fish tagged with the Grand Prize Winning Number and the fish is the eighth tagged fish caught and registered on the Website, he/she will be eligible to win $15,000 cash.
  • I) If an eligible angler catches the fish tagged with the Grand Prize Winning Number and the fish is the ninth tagged fish caught and registered on the Website, he/she will be eligible to win $10,000 cash.
  • J) If an eligible angler catches the fish tagged with the Grand Prize Winning Number and the fish is the tenth tagged fish caught and registered on the Website, he/she will be eligible to win $50,000 cash.
In the event an eligible angler catches the fish tagged with the Grand Prize Winning Number and the fish is caught and registered on the Website as the eleventh fish or greater, he/she will win $10,000.
Bonus Prize: If an eligible angler catches the fish tagged with the Grand Prize Winning Number and the fish is caught and registered on the Website as the first through tenth fish, AND the eligible angler is a paid charter fishing with a licensed Louisiana Charter Boat guide at the time of the catch, 10% will be added to the amount won by the eligible angler.
In the event that at the conclusion of the Contest Period no tagged fish are caught and presented, Sponsor will randomly select one (1) of the registered participants who will have the opportunity to win $10,000 ("Consolation Winner"). The Consolation Winner will then have the opportunity to randomly select one (1) of fifty (50) unique numbers. If the randomly selected unique number corresponds to the Grand Prize Winning Number, the Consolation Winner will receive $10,000, subject to verification of eligibility.
No prizes will be awarded to any participant presenting a tagged fish that has been caught other than during the Contest Period.
All tagged fish must be caught in accordance with all federal, state and local laws, codes, rules and regulations and must be caught in the manner prescribed by the International Game Fish Association ("IGFA") international angling rules. A copy of the IGFA rules are available at http://igfa.org/Fish/INTERNATIONAL-ANGLING-RULES.aspx.

Copied from what i posted above.....

"Then representatives of Sponsor and/or SCA and/or Louisiana Game & Fish will randomly and evenly tag and release a minimum of fifty (50) fish each tagged with one of the unique numbers throughout the "Eligible Waters" (as defined below)."

All fish must be caught in "Eligible Waters." Eligible Waters shall consist of waters in South Louisiana as specified on the Website in which the public has free and unlimited access. All Louisiana state waters south of I-10 that are publicly accessible between Breton Sound and Lake Calcasieu are eligible. Fish caught in illegal "off limit" waters or sanctuaries are not eligible for prize consideration

That is a good question though.
