Welcome to the 3rd Annual Mustang Ice Classic!

Thank you for supporting the Mustang Ice Classic! Each year brings on new challenges, but our committee of volunteers continues to face those challenges with great poise and determination. The first year, we had no idea what to expect on a small lake in Southwest Minnesota; but we were greeted with a beautiful day, and the event turnout exceeded our expectations! The second year, we were met with an incredible blizzard that shut down area highways and made travel to the tournament extremely difficult. Members of our committee worked diligently to ensure everyone could make it out on the ice safely by continually plowing roads and checking ice conditions. This year, COVID-19 has added yet another challenge.

Although we cannot physically be together, we are committed to providing you with a fun experience and lots of great prizes!

We hope you take this opportunity to spend time in the great outdoors with the people you enjoy being around the most. The best part of a virtual tournament is you can choose your favorite fishing spot and nobody has to know! However, if you are catching a lot of nice fish, you may have to verify your location with the tournament director! ;) Have fun, enjoy the outdoors, and be sure to support the many sponsors of this tournament. Without them, this event would not be possible.

Fish on!

Michael VanDrehle Tournament Director

All registration and payment must be completed using the app.

The FishDonkey App will be used to photo document fish and will generate live leaderboards. The leaderboards will update throughout the event as fish are submitted. All entries will be considered unofficial until verified.

MEASURING & PHOTO DOCUMENTING All photos must be taken through the FishDonkey app and measurements must be on a valid measuring board. Fish must be recorded immediately and measurements noted by length.

All submissions must include at least two photographs: 1) A pic of you holding the fish 2) A pic of the fish on the measuring board.

A video is encouraged.

Close the fish’s mouth. The nose should touch the bump of the measuring board (the belly is facing you). The measurement photo needs to include the entire fish on the board.

If the fish tail is touching the graduation line on the board then that is the exact measurement. If the tail crosses a graduation line, round to the nearest ¼”.

All participants must have their fish submitted before the end of the tournament.

Extra large fish are difficult to measure with a bump board and photographs. For example, sturgeon can be measured more accurately by using video. Bump the nose of the fish against a vertical surface and use a commercial measuring tape to measure the fish. Video from nose to tail, covering the complete length of the fish.

TEST THE APP BEFORE YOU’RE ON THE WATER 1. Download the app 2. Join “Practice Entering a Fish”

FISHDONKEY IN POOR RECEPTION AREAS The app will work without the internet. Open the app before heading out to poorly covered areas.

Tap on the name of the tourney. Once you see the button ‘Enter a Fish’, head out and fish away. Fish should be entered as normal in bad reception areas. Your Digital Livewell® (fish icon) will show you if there are fish waiting for an internet connection to get pushed into the leaderboard.

When you get back to a well connected area, open your Digital Livewell® and leave that screen open/active until all fish are “Received”. Until your pictures are received, do not delete or alter the photos on your phone, as the software will not accept your photos as originals.

All registrations & fish submissions will take place via the FishDonkey App. 1. DOWNLOAD APP 2. SELECT “FISH IN A TOURNAMENT” 3. SEARCH “MUSTANG ICE CLASSIC – 2021” 4. REGISTER

MISSING PICTURES ON THE LEADERBOARD Open your Digital Livewell (fish icon) when you get back to an area with good reception. Leave that screen open until all fish are “Received”.

Never delete anything from your Digital Livewell.

MEASURING BOARDS All measuring devices must be commercially made. You are required to have a board with a 90 degree bend which marks 0, and at least ¼” lines. No handmade measuring boards, stickers, or tape measures allowed. No sliding, retractable, or foldable measuring devices are allowed unless approved by the tournament director. If your measurement is not clearly readable in your submission photo, it may not be accepted, or could be penalized.

In the event a bump board is not used, tournament directors will determine the length of the fish to the best of their judgment. All fish using alternate methods may be disqualified if an exact length is not able to be confirmed. Using multiple angles and photos or a video may help tournament directors confirm the length.

TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR Your Tournament Director is Michael VanDrehle.

If you need to reach your director, their contact info is in the info icon within your tournament in the app.

The interpretation and enforcement of the rules is at the sole discretion of the director. The tournament director may change rules or impose sanctions as they deem appropriate, including but not limited to: disqualifications, forfeiture of prizes, and prohibition from competing in future tournaments. All decisions made by the tournament director are final.

SPORTSMANSHIP All participants are expected to follow high standards of sportsmanship, courtesy, safety and conservation. Any participant who displays poor sportsmanship, violates these rules or brings unfavorable publicity to the sport of fishing could be disqualified. Encroachment is considered a sportsmanship rule.

BODY OF WATER Participants must fish on a frozen body of water

for this event. Fishing has to be legal and in public waters only: no private ponds, streams, lakes or rivers. Participants may fish in any water that is open to public fishing.

INCLEMENT WEATHER/CANCELLATION Keep mobile phones on throughout the tournament in order to receive communication from the director in the event of postponement or cancellation. Due to the nature of tournament fishing, no refunds will be issued. Being this event is multiple days and winter weather is expected for ice fishing, we probably don’t have to worry about this.

TIEBREAKERS The tournament director will consider options for determining a tie, which could be 1) time of entry 2) the exact measurement instead of the ¼” measurement 3) the next largest fish submitted by each angler. A tie could also result in shared prizes.

CLAIMING PRIZES Ensure that your correct address, email, and mobile number appear in your app profile for prize announcements and delivery. Prizes are the responsibility of the winners. Transportation, shipping, taxes, and incidentals are the responsibility of the winner.

It is the responsibility of the tournament director to disburse all prizes.

LAWS AND REGULATIONS All federal, state, local laws and all fishing rules must be abided by.

Failure to comply with any tournament rules subjects participants to disqualification and removal from the competition, as determined by the tournament officials. The right to refuse sale and/or revoke a competition ticket to anyone is hereby reserved.

CHEATING All protests must be brought to the director’s attention before the end of the event. Anyone caught breaking the law or disobeying the rules will be disqualified.

Fish must be hooked and caught live in a conventional manner. Fish cannot be snagged, netted, speared, etc.

Participants may be required to take polygraph exams as part of the tournament requirements. If deception is detected or the participant refuses to take the exam, the prize will be forfeited and the participant will be disqualified. Anglers taking a polygraph examination may be responsible for any and all costs incurred.

QUESTIONS? If there are any questions about the rules, ask the tournament director.
