Babe-ette Division Guidelines


Every year the tournament has girls 16 years of age and under that fish.  The tournament has
never recognized these girls for their team effort and what each one of them brings to the
tournament as a whole.  That is going to stop right now.

Babes on the Bay recognizes these young girls that go out and fish just like the more mature girls.

There are two divisions:  Guided and Non-Guided

There will be four trophies:  1st and 2nd in the Guided and 1st and 2nd in the Non-Guided
They will not be split by artificial or any bait.

This will not be a separate tournament, but it will simply include the Babe-ettes in the current
program.  So, if you have a girl that qualifies for this division on your team and she lands a large
trout or redfish that you want as part of your team stringer then you can include it.  At weigh in
mention that the red was caught by a Babe-ette and give the name.  This process makes it
possible for her to place with the team as a whole and to qualify in the Junior Division.  Make sure
that if you team is fishing the artificial only divisions that the Junior also only uses artificial.

Another scenario would be if 1 to 4 Babe-ettes got together as a team.  They would still have to
register in the Non-Guided/Guided – Artificial or Any Bait divisions.  That team would be eligible to
win the tournament competing against every contestant, but also would qualify for the Junior
Division.  Remember, there are only 4 trophies for the entire Junior Division, 1st and 2nd in Guided
and 1st and 2nd in Non-Guided.

Determination of the winner.  The winners of this division are based on the heaviest fish, trout or
redfish.

Future changes:  There may be changes for the Babe-ette group depending on the participation
this year.  Any comments/suggestions are more than welcome.
