Curious what the target species of fish will be?

PerchAssault · « **Reply #2 on:** Oct 22, 2013, 04:20 PM »

It will be the dominant species in the lake...say crappie or perch...or 'gils and white bass...announced for each lake soon.

one point for one fish...size, weight doesn't matter...

Thanks for asking!

Do I understand correctly that each competitor is limited to fishing a single hole?

PerchAssault · « **Reply #4 on:** Oct 31, 2013, 08:34 PM »

Dusty,

They are 30 minutes rounds, on "courts" and against opponents you are assigned via random brackets. So you will fish a different court every round, as long as you keep advancing. Lose twice and you are done, win and you keep on advancing. Of course, that is the basics of it...

Check out the rules at www.iceduels.com We have decided to do Pickerel Lake and will be based out of the lodge there. I will have entries at Sportsmans Cove next week or on the site...

Thanks for asking!

Mike

What happens if no fish are caught?

DustyRhyno · « **Reply #6 on:** Nov 01, 2013, 11:16 AM »

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I'm scheduled for another tournament the same weekend. Pickerel should be a good choice. Good luck with the event. I'll look for it next year.

We would treat that situation as a tie...All ties get a 10 minute OT round on another court. If none are caught in that 10 minutes, both anglers go into the loser bracket for that round. We are going to do everything possible to set up the courts in a known, traditionally fish rich environment, but there is the element of cool and hot holes. You, as the angler, have the challenge of making the most of the hand you are dealt for each and every round.

We have a party of 4 wanting to attend! One problem.... only one ice shack! Will we have to fish away from each other or can we fish in our shack?

Duck Ace,

This is a single person event, where individual anglers fish against other anglers in a designated court for 30 minute rounds. There are no shacks allowed. It is a spectator friendly event and the scorers need full visual on each angler on each court...

Please go to www.iceduels.com, it's all explained there.

Hi Rags,

We will be scoring 'gills and crappie. Hope to see you there.

OK guys and Gals, it's time to get serious and get signed up. We had our first event today on Monona Bay in WI and we had a blast! This is like no other tournament you have ever seen. 30 minute rounds, a new court and a new opponent each round, you swap holes half way thru, its almost dizzying how fast it goes and how much fun it is.

Check out the Ice Duels page on Facebook for photo's and stories and comments from todays event (and the events leading up to it) and then sign up! We need to get YOU and all your friends and all their friends!

Also, if you are a member of a non-profit, or a service organization looking for an event to get behind, get some awareness and a chance to get some donations, I would love to hear from you. We need volunteers to help make this work and you get a chance to help out your group.

This does sound like allot of fun. Are vexilar's or anything like that allowed? Just curious have never saw a tournament like this but i bet it is a fun time. Oh yea one more question, how big are the courts areas that you fish in?

Never mind got my questions answered by looking at their web page. Looks like a fun thing to try.

Mr. Ice Fish, c'mon out and join us. We had a BLAST at the Madison event. Check out the Ice Duels page on Facebook and see.

It is a brand new event, that took me over 18 months to design, plan and execute. Get in on the groundfloor now while the numbers are low and the prizes are thick! There will be a Marcum Lx-3TC or a StrikeMaster Lazer Mag 7" auger awarded by door prize drawing at Pickerel (winners choice) Plus a lot of other prizes.

Hope to see you there!

Where are the results posted for these events?

PerchAssault · « **Reply #18 on:** Feb 06, 2014, 07:27 AM »

When events take place, results are posted on our Facebook page. Unfortunately, lack of signups means no results.

Our Madison, WI was a great success, but still had a minimal turnout. We will hit it hard again in 2015 but will focus on areas that are a little more populated, stay tuned to www.iceduels.com and our Facebook page.

Shaffer Slough on Thompson Lake is this years location for the SD Ice Duels. Crappie and Perch will be the species scored. www.iceduels.com
