N.E.W.C. - Lake Erie event - august 16th

The N.E.W.C. will be holding there 3rd event for the year on Lake Erie on Sunday August 16th.
The event will be held at North East Marina, in North East Pa.
This event is open for all anglers, and will pay $ 5,000.00 for 1st place, along with $ 1,000.00 for big fish with only 50 teams.
North East is located only a few miles from the New York State line, and teams arriving to pre fish for the MWC are encouraged to participate. Last year the migrating schools of eyes were right at the line this time of year.
Teams may fish all US waters.
We will be accepting late applications the morning of the event at the ramp, however we will only be accepting the first 50 Teams for this event, pre registration is extreemely appreciated.
The N.E.W.C. is a Cabelas qualifying circuit, as well as a Aim qualifying circuit.
We have changed the Team of the Year Points system from last years format to make it more angler friendly.
This years format lets anglers drop their lowest score of the 4 events, or skip one event and still have the same opportunity as teams fishing all 4 events. We have also eliminated the 50 bonus points for fishing all 4 events this year. Teams that have fished 1 of our first 2 events are still in great shape to win the prestigious Team of the Year Title.
We recognized early this winter the strain of fishing 4 traveling events would put on some teams in this economy, and are trying to make it as economical as we possibly can.
We have arranged a discout for lodging at the Red Carpet Inn in North East. Their # is (814) 725-4554, and let them know you are fishing our event to get the discount.
Entry Forms are able to be downloaded from our website at www.neweasternwalleyecircuit.com .
If foul weather cancells the event, you will be refunded 100% of your entry.
We would like to thank our prize sponsors Off Shore Tackle, Reef Runner Tackle, and Case knifes.

Yup I read what Bulldog posted and that differs from what you are writing. Is there a complete set of rules somewhere that is different than what is posted on the website?

You may launch at another ramp, but your boat “must” under go a fair play inspection at the designated launch site before take off.
 
You may boat in from another marina in the morning if you are docked else ware.
 
 
I guess they could mean the same thing, but the rules pages sounds like you can have your boat inspected at NE then go launch where you want.
 
I generally don't fish tournaments, but found this one interesting since I'll hopefully be fishing that day anyway. Sounds like fun, I just don't like not fully understanding the rules. I'm sure that a bunch of guys would rather get inspected and haul their boats west to launch, especially this year.

Agreed I'm interested but would like a better set of rules and clarification.

Bringing this back on top.
Event is shaping up nicely, with teams calling every day to let me know they are coming.
At this rate, this should be our biggest event for the year.
I received another call late last night that indeed a very large school of migrating eyes has traveled over the border from ohio, and are moving deeper into pa, along with the other eyes that have been there.
Local contact informed me that large eyes are indeed at North East. With all the bait, it will be a fun and challenging event to see who figures out how to trigger them.
Again, thank you for letting me know who is coming ahead of time, it makes it a lot easier on us to plan ahead to make the event as pleasureable as possible.
In case of event being cancelled for bad weather, we will return 100% of your entry money!!!

Glad to hear fish are turning on.
 
Teams will start to arrive tomorrow. I do not fish my own events, But I am taking a friend for his first time on Erie tomorrow. He only has a N.Y.license, so we will launch out of Barcellona, and head to the line.
 
Can't wait, weather looks good fore the weekend.
