College Tournament help

Michigan and Michigan State are hosting the Big Ten Collegiate Bass
Championship this fall on Lake St Clair, Sat/Sun Oct 10th & 11th.

We are looking to secure around 30 boat volunteers from our local contacts
& clubs. I know that you have a large network and have helped us out the
past couple of years for UofM and MSU events.

Boat volunteers will take 2 students from one of the schools out for
ideally both Saturday and Sunday. If boat volunteers can do only 1 day or
the other that will also work if we are having trouble getting numbers.

Saturday is a pre-fish day and the volunteers get to fish and act as
on-the-water coaches. Sunday is tournament day and the volunteers act as a
tournament official and cannot fish nor give suggestions. But the boat
volunteer will be the one driving the boat's gas engine at all times.

For past Big Ten tournaments students have been given the option of how
much gas money to give boaters but with UM/MSU events on St Clair we use
$20 per student per day as our guideline and can suggest this to the other
schools given the size of St. Clair.

Boat volunteers and their family are also invited to a complimentary dinner
Saturday night and food/drinks at the Sunday weigh-in.

Tournament waters will be U.S. water only to keep boat runs to a minimum.
We are thinking either Harley Ensign, MetroBeach, or Selfridge for the
launch site and will be figuring out permits within the next week if you
have any suggestions.

Please let me know what other information we can provide and if you can
help us pass along this request to your members.

Guys let me know if you can help. This was a great event last year.
