ANNOUNCEMENTS

July 1st, 2022
A big official welcome to the Fishaholics Tournament!

We are hoping to see a community announcement and special freebies for this month

Please stay tuned for official prize announcements. Work hard, fish harder everyone!

New Trophies
Gaia Staff have made some unique trophies for us this year featuring an elegant Angelfish!
These trophies will be awarded to the top 3 players in the categories of Overall, Junk, and each lake (Bass'ken, Gambino, and Durem).

RULES & INFO

1. 🐟 All standard rules of the Fishing tournament established by Gaia apply.
   This includes botting. If you are found to be doing so, you will be barred from winning gold prizes from this tournament in the future.
   
   
2. 🐟 These rankings will end as Gaia's tournaments do: at exactly 11:59 PM PST of the last day of the month.
   
   
3. 🐟 As with trophies, one individual can win multiple prizes if they hold that rank at the end of the tournament.
   For instance, if #1 Overall happens to place #3 in Bass'ken and #2 in Gambino, they will win the prizes for each ranking.
   
   
4. 🐟 In the past, only a few competitors won gold prizes. The interest in donating gold to this project has been great, and we are so grateful!
   The initial limit has been surpassed, and now Overall 1st through 3rd places and the top 10 in each lake and junk will win gold prizes.
   If you are not aware, only the very top Overall winner gets a trophy - but we are offering gold to the top three!
   If you are interested in donating to offer more Overall gold prizes, please contact me! More funds means more rewards for more fishers!
   
   
5. 🐟 I personally, AvatarRoku05, will not be competing for a trophy during this time.
   In the past, I would pass the gold prize down to the next person in line and would not keep the gold prize to myself.
   If a winner in the tournament wishes to pass their prize along to the next person in line in a gesture of good sportsmanship,
   feel free to let me know when I send your winner's message after the tournament.
   
   This will push the gold down the line one place (for instance, Overall #1 can give their gold to Overall #2. If Bass'ken #1 wishes to give their gold, the individual in second place will get their amount. Down the line, this will eventually allow #11 to receive a gold prize, which they wouldn't have originally been in place for). Another option is to donate your gold back to tournament funds if you wish!

ABOUT THE TOURNAMENT

The Fishaholics Anonymous guild received many suggestions to go a step further and reward hard-working fishers with more than just trophies.
Therefore, to celebrate the guild's third birthday in March 2018, the Fishaholics Tournament was founded.
This user-run event rewarded the top fishers for placing on the leaderboards each month from March 2018 to March 2019.

As life would have it, things became very busy for me personally, and it was difficult to keep up with the tournament every month. And so after a year, the tournament was ended.
After tremendous feedback from the community, we decided to re-open the tournament for one month each year.
July was the most popular month, so with that in mind, we will be aiming to host this tournament every July, going forward!

From our original introduction:
"At this time, only trophies are given to the winners, and there are currently no gold prizes.
It has been said that these gold prizes could serve as extra incentive to fishers,
to make the competition even more intense and the reward that much sweeter!
The Fishaholics Anonymous guild wishes to offer gold prizes for the dedicated Fishing enthusiasts..."

Thank you so kindly! That is surely the goal- trophies definitely hold bragging rights, but this is to get folks involved, and give them something extra to try for!

[AvatarRoku05]

So many fishers working hard, and so many kind souls helping make this open to more prizes in the months to come!

I totally support this and I will put it in my sig. 3nodding
