Does anyone know if the Ice Shanty Tournament sign up has started yet. Thanks. ;)
-
Do you see a post yet to sign up? :cookoo: LOL

No, I'm sure it hasn't, but with the cold weather coming I'm sure it's on everyones minds. I think sign up is during the month of December. Don't miss it and good luck. :tipup: :tipup:
-
sign-up is sometime mid Nov. and runs thru Dec.,
normal start is Jan. 1st or the 15th
stay tuned. ;)

Can't wait...Didn't participate too much last year...looking to change that as this year it looks as though team Ontario is going to take braggin' rights.. ;D
-
Tourny sign up is hard to miss, it's falshed on the header as well as posted in almost every state or province. Camo is right we wont see the sign up untill the end part of November, and toruny starts on Jan 1st
-
yeah there is plenty of time, some states have ice fishing season and, maine for ex., cant ice fish until jan. 1 :tipup:

Gee it would be fun to have Canada against USA heh. But us Canadians would clean up and it probably wouldn't be fair :whistle:
Last year Team BC only had a few members. This year we will be bigger :thumbsup:

I can't wait for the start...I didn't get onto this site until after the tourney started last year. I actually get to go ice fishing, and once in a while even catch something.

Yeah it was all about how a very few guys and gal from BC took on BIG member NY and lost by one point (er close anyway). This year chaps us BCers will have a couple new members. Team NY will fall. Hard to capture first to fifth when you only have 4 members.
I like TGF's suggestion of Team Canada against Team USA.
If the organizers take away lake trout, and burbot then we won't have a chance. Please keep them so we have something to fish for other than rainbows :bow:
-
Team NY will fall.
Bring it. >:D

I sucked in the tourney, Dude....My Dad had a quad bypass first part of August and I ended up basically house sitting him for over 2 months....he's back on his feet now but we spent over a month in Syracuse rather than driving the 100 miles each way every day.......

Thanks PM....got the old man back on his feet in good order now...he's finally driving again and making the rounds and feeling useful again.......
Got the traps all ready to go......and a couple jig poles...so it should be a good winter.......lets all hope we all have good ice this year....
-
or you will continue to talk big about big fish and never show anybody. ::)
just kidding bud.
-
Bring it. >:D
Mike,
Can't quite tell from the pic in your avatar, but is there a chip on your shoulder? ;)2
-
BC will enter pike in this year's tourney....not likely to be winners but we will enter....as well as walleye and perch.....if I have my way with our elk hunting trip....
-
Hey Esox I'm rooting for you to then you would actual have some back behind all the talk.

Yeah..and when I do post, you can bet your bottom Pennsyltucky dollar it won't have anything to do with bow shooting bass by "accident"..oh wait, that was mistaken identity...
Carp=Bass
Bass=Carp
Esox
-
I am going to enter it for the first time this year looked like alot of fun last year :tipup:
-
this is normally where i would say "yes but dont discount michigan you scurvy buggers" but i did that in the spring for the MFF tourney..and we all seen how that turned out. but i do feel that we will make alot stronger showing this winter then we did during the summer..thats for darned sure. and marsh...wasnt pennsyltucky supported by only one member in overall points in the state vs. state.
-
lol, without polarbear PA wouldnt have a point :D
-
lol, without polarbear PA wouldnt have a point :D
polarbear is a fishing machine. ;D If NY had him, PA won't even stand a chance. ;D
Just kidding, every and any state has a chance at getting a 1st, 2nd, 3rd place fish in the tourney. We all have great fishing, and we all will stand behind our state reguardless if the fish are smaller. :P It's all about timing, luck and being able to find the big and hungry fish.
:tipup: Fish on!
less than 2 months. ;D
-
Mike, Can't quite tell from the pic in your avatar, but is there a chip on your shoulder?
Na- It's all in good fun. 8)
I know LW will do a good job running the official tourney as always...
IceGeek and I have each taken our turns at the state vs. state and province.
It's someone else's turn.
If it's going to be "normalized" HS students need not apply.
;D

GO TEAM BC!! :o
*Stir, stir* >:D

Where do you want them to go to?
may I suggest Saskatchewan? :)

I think Ontario has a pretty strong team this year....Good luck to all :)
-
I think Canada has a strong Team this year. Team BC with new members now were only a point behind New Yak last year. They will fall and we will "Bring it".
Go Team Canada :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
-
I dunno if I can side with that damn sens fan....maybe for the good of taking down NY........maybe ;D

Hey how about we get someone from a different state then those competing. Hopefully that will make things go a little smoother. I do feel it not fair that we have another NY'er run it (not saying you didn't do a good job) Just let another state have a shot. Hopefully we can find someone as dedicated as you and icegeek were
-
I joined late last year. How do you join your states team?

Your already apart of Team NY just sign up for the main Tourney (in December) and your in.

I guess I dont see much sence in choosing from another state if the New York guy's did such a good job .
It almost sounds as if you say they were good but , at the same time you say , you feel it would be more fair , which questions their integrity !

I think that warrants further explanation....almost sounds like sour grapes to me.....Esox
BTW...just as an example,,,why in God's name would somebody from lets say, Oklahoma want to run a tourney for us up here??
What didn't go "smoothly" on the past couple tourneys anyway???
-
icegeek did a great job, everything was out in the open and no cheating would go unoticed, unless marshrat got in his scoring system that only he understood and could calculate? it doesnt matter who runs it, the scoring is the same, post your fish with tape and card, not difficult for anyone to do, time consuming yes, lonewolf wasnt from any of the competing states on MFF, yet i still didnt see any fish from you ??? :tipup:
-
Thanks for the reply fishingking. I'll make sure I sing-up. :thumbsup:
-
I think someone needs to step back and take a long hard look at the contest that took place last year !
Nothing could have been run any smoother than it was . Remember something ... the contest was run by a volunteer and the rules were posted clearly for everyone to see .
If you don't like the way any of the contests are being run or the rules its very simple DONT JOIN THEM !
It's pretty bold to even suggest that there was unfair activity or things weren't done quite fair or to your liking .
-
I don't think anyone who can enter in more than 3 categories without driving 3+ hrs has anything to complain about. Enough said.
(EDIT: I'm not complaining. I'm only saying that not everyone has grounds to complain. I think the tourney has been run great. Lord knows, we did great and can only enter 3 categories)

If you so kindly would show me where I said that unfair activity took place. I said icegeek and devil did a good job. Icegeek even made a mistake and came out and said it. I don't really care who does it. I though the tourney was for fun but hell all you guys care about is fighting and arguing. I refuse to get involved anymore!!!
-
Your words from your first post making this ludicrous comment about who runs the tourney..."I do feel it not fair that we have another NY'er run it >>>
Why wasn't it fair?? You "implied" with your above comment that you feel by having a NY'er run the tourney that unfair practices are suspect...
You don't care who runs it but you make statements like you did??
Most of the arguements start right after "somebody" makes an idiotic comment like the one "somebody" posted today......
-
Gee it would be fun to have Canada against USA heh. But us Canadians would clean up and it probably wouldn't be fair
....its amazing how pretty much everyone thats posted since TGF, has completely avoided accepting the challenge, and preferred to get into the state versus state/province debate like last year...small in numbers but a great gang from B.C. Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario.....likely more anglers just from Team New Yap....but do I see anyone accepting the challenge?.....Naw....I think it would be great fun to see Team Canada versus Team U.S.A. Grump

Might be fun....I can see a tourney like this happening.....
Do we have to use normalized scoring or can it be fish to fish with no quantun physics mathematical equations???

Heres what I came up with at the end of last years Tourney Once again NY is #1 and US is #1
I went through the leaders board and Tallied up the top 3 winners of each category and came up with this
Starting with #1
New York 9
British Columbia 8
Pennsylvania 4
Maine 2
Wyoming 2
Manitoba 1
New Jersey 1
Ontario 1
Alberta 1
Saskatchewan 1
Canada vs United State would be
Canada 12
United States 18
okay above was just the number of entries that made it too the top 3 now if
1st place was worth 3 points
2nd 2
3rd 1
which would be a little more accurate because for instance there are 10 categories and NY placed 9 times but NY could of placed as 3rd place in 9 categories and only receive 9 points
Pennsylvania placed 3 times which could have been 1st all three time thus tying NY for 9 points even though this didn't happen its just an example Smiley
and this compares winning entries to points awarded kind of the way Icegeek ran the NY vs ME vs PA side tournament.
then the numbers would go as follows
New York 18
British Columbia 17
Pennsylvania 7
Wyoming 6
Maine 5
Manitoba 2
Alberta 2
New Jersey 1
Ontario 1
Saskatchewan 1
Canada 21
United States 36
and I am not denying that BC has an incrediable fishery for the 3 main species it has Lakers, Burbot and Rainbows

is LW doing the IS tourney? icegeek did it last year and im sure he wants out, im not sure if LW want to do this year round :D its alot of stuff to keep up with, then complaining from people, etc... i know i dont want to run it :tipup: simple math is the best way to do it, big fish = big points, little fish = little points, no fish = no points :D

Wouldnt it better if each member that posted at least one fish in a Category got 1 point for their team :)
-
Wouldn't it better if each member that posted at least one fish in a Category got 1 point for their team :)
But would that be fair? I don't know the numbers from Team Canada. But if its as lopsided as the state vs state then. It could be impossible from Team Canada to win. EX
NY had over 200 members PA had 83.
If ever member from NY and PA posted a fish The score would be
NY 200
PA 83
But if the numbers are the same or are close it would be a great idea!!!
-
I say we all just go fishing! who cares about winning! Enjoy the sport, thats why were here. I doubt many people joined the sight for the tourny!
-
Ok to be "FAIR" how about the mod from the U.S. with the highest number of post's and the mod from Canada with the highest number of post's get together and set the rules and choose a tourney director .
Then both sides have had their input and all is fair .
Once the rules have been posted thats that and there will be no changes made .
Sounds fair to me .
I would volunteer to help but I am in now way computer savvy enough to do it .
-
I believe that a state ought to be judged on the number of entrants participating in the tourney. For example; there are over 200 entrants for NY, probably about six for Wyoming. New York has a population of about a billion while Wyoming has a population of a couple of hundred. Therefore if you take the co sin of the coefficient of population, divide it by the imaginary number 7 and carry the 3....Wyoming whips NY and BC added together. ;D

I think BC only only had 8 people in tourney last year. I like the Canada vs USA tourney. We in BC feel our highly regarded burbot will not be in this years tourney. That is because we have some big ones that no walleye or burbot from other places can compete with. We are or will be then limited to 2 species. If BC joins the rest of Canada then our species will be alot more. Therefore fairer :-\

hey mush..you only get points for fish that place..you know that....so it wouldnt matter how many members you have. mich will only have 20 something members..and we shall gladly except any challenge..why? cause no matter the numbers, 3 nice fish can turn the tables...thats all it takes..and so what if you dont win..woopity doo. its fun to talk trash and be a good sport...michigan got stomped in the MFF tourney..do you hear us talking about the tourney not being fair and belly aching about everything...no...we are here..talking trash again..all in good fun.. i think a US vs. CAN tourney would be fun...why not get patriotism added into the mix...same as the other tourneys right? top 3 fish from the catagories score? MICH will represent either state or country!!!! :flex:
-
Does anybody have a large size ice skimmer it's getting deep in here

Hey there is some patriotic spirit. Us Canadians are way less patriotic than most, unless it comes to hockey. So how about a fun tourney country against country? We will probably lose due to #s, but who knows, nothing is impossible ;). We just have to fish harder. I think everyone knows that Canada has an excellent fishery all over our great country. Much better than our southern buddies :whistle: . We just need some fisherpeople to get out there.
-
in all honesty im not worried about the numbers..i was before the MFF tourney..but when it was all said and done i came down to only a couple guys...as a matter of fact..penns beat us in points because of ONE GUY!!! its not the number of fisherman..its the fish posted in the 1st,2nd or 3rd place...you dont get points on the number of entries. one guy posting 3 first place fish almost carries the team to a guranteed top 3 standing. lets do the darn thing...i think d-man did an awsome job keeping track of the points..and country vs country is alot easier to do...only two places to keep track of..can or us. your fishery more then makes up for a shortfall in members..especially in the winter...only a handfull of people on the US side got good ice all season long last year. lets do it..i vote for a country vs. country tourney as opposed to a state/province vs. state/province. evens things out in my opinion. i had fun in the tourney this year both trying to get into the prizes and bragging rights.
-
ARCH where are ya ?
lol, im not a mod, and billditrite has twice the posts as i do :D
i agree, numbers dont mean anything, its the largest 3 fish, look at the MFF tourney, polarbear from PA was only one man and almost won the tourney singlehandedly, he had every single point for PA, if you have 200 people posting 18" bass and i guy posting 3-20" bass, the 200 people are just spectators the single guy has all the points. heck camo had majority of all the points for NY, numbers just give better odds, but if only 20 people out of the 200 post fish for NY and 50 of the 83 from PA post fish, then you have to redo all the BS calculations and crap heck why not call the NFL and ask them to give the away team a 7 point head start because they only have 2000 fans out of the 80000 at the game. i noticed most of the people complaining about the math in the tourney dont even post fish in it ??? post a big fish and know you did what you could to help out your state/province :tipup:
ps, if your going to put walleye and burbot together why not have pike and musky together?
lol, im just sore about my 30" eye loosing to some burbot garbage fish :D
-
Maybe we New Yorkers should retire from the contest. We know we will win anyways. Lets let some of the inferior states (pennsyltucky, maine, canada) duke it out during the contest. I think it would be much more interesting. ;D

Either way this goes, we all know that NY only wins because of sheer numbers. Give TEAM BC another 20 members and there wouldn't even be a purpose to this tournament.....we would destroy you.....GO TEAM CANADA........except for the stinking sens fan....GO LEAFS!

funny how its the member from the teams that dont have a fish entered in the tourney that do all the complaining ???
how many different people from NY actually place with a fish, its the biggest 3 fish that win, not the team with the most people ???
GO SABRES :tipup:
-
Arch, come on, you have more people fishing, therefore you have way better odds of catching a winning fish. More time spend fishing = greater probability of a large fish being caught. And as far as odds go, buffalo has about a 1/5,000,000,000,000 chance of winning the cup ;D
-
give pa good enough ice conditions and we could definetly be in with everyone else

Arch, come on, you have more people fishing, therefore you have way better odds of catching a winning fish. More time spend fishing = greater probability of a large fish being caught. And as far as odds go, buffalo has about a 1/5,000,000,000,000 chance of winning the cup ;D
GO SABRES ;D
true, we have the numbers, but its the same couple guys that post all the big fish, out of all those people from NY, i would bet that other states have more people that actually post fish, 75% of the people from NY that sign up are either lurkers or newbies that dont stick around too long, as far as people actually posting fish, i would say its all even :tipup:

youve got to be kidding, most of the people in PA come to NY to fish anyway, and what happened during the summer? you didnt have good water conditions for the MFF tourney :D 1 guy had all your points :tipup: and as far as numbers are concerned, you had more numbers that all the teams you finished behind except NY :D actually, didnt you finish behind everyone :D come on ice :tipup:
GO SABRES :tipup: ;D

Just a "bump" to keep this at the top.....
Team USA versus Team Canada...looks like it just might work......
Any state dare to take on Team NY one on one as a side tourney as well??? Esox
-
I think it's coming down to that Esox :D
PGKris...I think we all know who's not going to win this year :) Leafs don't stand a chance.. ;)Let's leave it at that..Leaf fans...Hah :D :D
Cya on the ice...
Can't wait for derby time...

GO SABRES

well this is where i chime in and say that i would love to see the side tourney be country vs. country. should make for alot of fun..that will also keep people quiet about "well we dont have that type of fish" since ontario would be on BC's team. the only down side is i have to be on a team with marsh trying to be the captain. lol. and one more thing..all of your predictions are wrong. its going to be the
DETROIT REDWINGS that make the run this year.
-
I would not be suprised to see Detroit take it again....They have had a strong team for a few years...
-
. the only down side is i have to be on a team with marsh trying to be the captain. lol.
That would be like Hillary being president... :P :sick: :cookoo:

thats the spirit, country vs. country, no marsh keeping score, both countries have the same fish in the tourney, i say throw the burbot and walleye in different categories though ???
and you fellas in detroit better hope for a good basketball team :D
GO SABRES
-
why thank you arch. yeah i think country vs.country eliminates alot of the gripes people had on here.
but the sabres arent gonna do anything. they dont have a goalie to carry them through the playoffs like they have in the past.

they went pretty far last year? same goalie this year?
miller and biron will take them all the way, and with their offense :bow: :thumbsup: :flex:
SABRES WIN THE CUP
-
headline of buffoloe paper in 7 or 8 years maybe. lol.
the sabres actually have a good team but i dont know if they have the depth to beat "out of nowhere" team like edmonton last year thats running on pure heart and adrenaline...the wings didnt have it. im hoping the changes made this year will prove to be of some worth.

not with Hasek in goal again. Lets hope he doesn't have another groin injury. I can't believe we picked him up again.

yeah, thanks for taking buffalo's left overs :D
-
yeah that did suck...but i agree with not forcing that new goalie to have to play..he needed another year.
-
More like the Sabres has beens.
They should have never gotten rid of Legace.
-
What the hell tournament are we talking about guys? The cup, which will go to the Leafs, or the IS tourney? I'm confused now..... ;D
With a sanction from team captain TGF, I think TEAM BC could take on NY.....I kinda like the idea behind a TEAM CANADA vs TEAM USofA
Let 'er roll!

anyone icefishing in mexico? well take them on too, we can make it a continent thing :D
as far as BC taking on NY, you should read up on past tourneys ;D
and for the other tourney GO SABRES ;D
-
That would be like Hillary being president... :P :sick: :cookoo:
Maybe she can get Johhny K to go out and "stump" for her.... :woot: :woot:
-
I was here last couple of years Arch, I think we almost got ya last year.....time will tell what categories come out.......
-
hence the reason a country vs. country tourney would be better. theres no mention of "what catagories" thier are...it wont matter..we dont have pickeral in michigan(the wierd green ones)...but the guys in PA and new york would pick up the slack for us. and we'd just get bigger everything else. lol.

Ohh yes I support esox to for captain but don't you have to post pics of fish first
-
I'll go along with Esoxslayer !
Intelligent individual as well as ethical and I feel he can make an unbiased firm decision when it needs to be made .
-

What someone needs to post pics of fish before they can be captain???? So Dr.Icegeek last winter had to post a picture before he was quailified to run the contest???? Or D-Man had to this spring on MFF before he could run the tourney??? ::) I guess I don't understand :-\
-
maybe you should just have fun marshrat and realize that theres really not a whole lot more to complain about.

D man and Ice geek didn't brag as much as Esox
-
who cares marsh... dont complain as much and post as few pics. this is a fun side tourney..if you are gonna whine about it all the time why do you even want to do it?
-
D man and Ice geek didn't brag as much as Esox
I don't think I saw ES brag about the fish he catches. :-\ I thought it was more that NY would win the Tourney :)
-
NY goin down ;D
-
D man and Ice geek didn't brag as much as Esox
I guess I don't understand now !
Correct me if I'm wrong and I may be ... but isn't that what this whole thing is about ?
I thought it was for all of us to share our stories about fishing and once in a while post a picture of our catch .
I don't think thats bragging as you put it . Thats using the site for what it was intended and sharing some fellowship with other ice fishing enthusiast's . As for showing a picture of our catch to prove our knowledge of the sport or our success thats not bragging thats just being proud of our efforts .
If I'm wrong I'm wrong but in this case I THINK I'm pretty close to rite !

I think this transition period is killing everyone...Bring on the hard stuff 8)

Yea your right he doesnt catch any fish to brag about
-
Some people just dont get it I guess !
??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
-

Unreel :wacko:,you think people need to brag about the fish they catch?????
I'm sure some on here catch some really nice fish but don't ever post pics because thats the way they are. They feel they don't need to "one up" someone ::)
-

i, like majority of people on here dont post pics to brag (outside of the tourney), i/we post pics because i/we enjoy everyone elses pics and want to share them and hope they enjoy them as much as i/we enjoy their pics :tipup:
that said, in the tourney, the only reason to post pics is to brag :tipup: your not posting theme to say, do you like my pics, what great scenery in the background, NO. you post the pics in hopes of winning the tourney or beating the next guy, then theres the guys that upgrade there fish by 1/2" everyday, yet is still 5" short of 3rd place? those should be in the pics section. of course you wouldnt understand, you havnt entered a fish. yet your the one doing all the bashing of others who have posted fish. as far as posting a fish to be captaqin, didnt you try to proclaim yourself team captain of PA, and redo the entire math system of 1+1=2 with 3 squared divided by 2+9 pie to the 8th power=PA gets 10 extra points per fish seen in the river over what NY catches and posts ??? yet you never entered a fish :tipup:

It was a joke I know he catches fish or he wouldn't bother with his time on IS. I'm sure everyone on here catch fish you guys need to lighten up and have some fun.
And for I not posting fish you need to do your homework I posted fish in all of the tourneys I have taken place in. IN the IS tourney last year I posted a Rainbow and pickerel. IN this years MFF tourney I posted a whitefish, rainbow, and a carp.
