CPR is a catch-photo-release tournament that allows you to be involved in a fun online tournament every time you go out to fish.  All you must do is snap a good image on a fish ruler and submit your pic. The event begins February 1st, 2023, and ends Nov 30th, 2023.  Entry for the entire season is $16.25($10 entry, $5 for TourneyX, $1.25 processing fee) for PAID members of LKFC.  To register click HERE.  Members may enter the tournament anytime during the open period of the contest, but you must be a paid member of LKFC in good standing prior to submitting entries and at the conclusion of the contest.

Tournament Scoring
At any time during the contest someone could catch and enter a fish so the fixed points will not be known until the end of the contest. The goal is to get the most points by trying to catch the longest fish in each category.  This makes each species equally important and protects the tournament from being dominated by one really long catch.
 
Scoring Example
With 60 people entered points will be awarded 1 to 60 for each individual category. The largest fish entered in each category would receive 60 points and the smallest 1 point.  The top conceivable score would be 180 (60 points X 3 fish entered = 180) and only if the same person caught all the largest fish in all categories and entered them first.

In the event of a tie in the overall standings the advantage will be given to the angler that has the highest ranked 4th fish. Catching all 4 species isn't necessary to win overall but can be the deciding factor in a tie. In the event a tie still remains then the advantage will be given to the angler who's total aggregate length of ALL fish is greatest.
