Register Early!

Anglers who register for the 17 Rivers Striper Tournament are to be issued a distinctive Angler Identification Card. The purpose of this card is two fold.

1.) Participating anglers are being offered differing discounts by local merchants. Those discounts are posted on the tournament website. Anglers are encouraged to visit these merchant locations during the month of September to receive the offered discounts. This translates into savings for the consumers and business for the merchants. Cool! We thank them for their generous promotional offers and in supporting the tournament.

2.) Anglers participating in the tournament are required to submit photos when registering fish. Photo II requires anglers to include the Angler ID Card in the photo to establish authenticity with respect to dating the catch.

Since the majority of Angler ID Cards are to be sent out by mail, we encourage anglers to submit their registration forms as promptly as possible to ensure they get the ID in a timely fashion.

For those anglers registering late in August or into September, we will be providing “Official Registrations Sites” with Angler ID Cards. Anglers leaving the completed registration paperwork and a check at those sites will be issued an ID Card at that time.

Note: LL Bean will not be taking receipt of completed registration paperwork nor will they have Angler ID Cards on site. Also ID cards will not be given out or mailed until August 25th, 2007.  This predates the start of the tournament, but is necessary to ensure anglers have the required ID card before the official start date.
