Challenge Board

What is a Challenge Board? The Challenge Board is a competition allowing teams to wager a friendly bet on three categories: heaviest Trout stringer ($125), heaviest Redfish stringer ($125) and the overall heaviest stringer ($150). To buy all three slots is $400.

Happy Zazu Fishing Team = Happy Aranzazu Campers

When and Where? The boards for the guided and unguided division will be located in the registration area and will have a designated table just for the Challenge Board. After teams check in they have the option to participate. Once they pay for the squares they are buying, they write their name or team name on their allotted squares. Teams have the first opportunity to wager on these three categories for their individual team. After the teams have had a chance to wager their bets, and if there are any slots left open, the board then opens up to the public or other anglers or sponsors wanting to wager a bet.

Each Separate Category Pays Out:
First Place 50% • Second Place 30% • Third Place 20%
For example: For 30 teams, there are 30 squares per category. If there are 30 teams and all 30 squares get purchased in the Heaviest Trout Stringer, there is a total of $3,750 in the pot which will be divided amongst the first, second and third place winner of this category. So, first place would receive $1,875, second place gets $1,125 and third place gets $750. This same formula applies to all categories and is ultimately based on how many squares sell in total.

What if a square isn't purchased and the square is a winner? The money is donated to the Camp.
