in 2006. The list will be placed on a ballot and forwarded to the membership
after the October meeting. All current Board members are eligible to be

2005 Participation Roster: An extensive roster has been developed for all members to show their total participation for all events in the federation. This info will then be posted on the website and updated immediately after an event, a meeting or a tournament.
New Business
NCBF Open Team
Tournament: A discussion was held to hold “2” Open Team Tournaments
vice “1”. This event is a good money maker for the federation, but were not
getting a lot of participation. The idea is if we held “2” tournaments (Spring
and Fall) and lowered the entry fees (either $100 or $150 plus $10 for
Lunker vice $200 plus Lunker) we may attract more anglers. This proposal was
tabled until next meeting.
Proposed Non-Boater Fees: A discussion was held to possibly set a standard fee for the non-boaters share of expenses with their boater. The unanimous decision was to put this issue out to the membership for a vote. The proposal is to set a fee of $40.00 plus the ramp fee.
Proposed Increase to the Annual Membership dues: A discussion was held to possibly increase the membership dues from $60 to $75 annually. The unanimous decision was to put this issue out to the membership for a vote. The proposal is to raise annual dues to $75.00.
Proposed Change
to the Angler of the Year Qualifying Format:
The current AOY format for boater and non-boater was discussed. It was a
unanimous decision by the Board to propose a change to the AOY format to the
membership for a vote. The proposal is to require that an angler must fish ALL
NCBF qualifying tournaments (vice 2 as written) and the AOY in each category
will be determined after the final qualifying tournament.
