** NEW & IMPROVED SCORING SYSTEM **
|
|
1.
|
The total number of points.
No points will be counted that are less that 1" in length, no rounding allowed.
|
|
2.
|
The width of the outside spread.
All measurements must be done from the main beam only.
|
|
3.
|
A total of the two longest times off the main beam per side will be measured and scored.
A total of four tines will be measured, two per side.
|
|
4.
|
TOTAL SCORE:
The total numeric score will be the sum of 1, 2, and 3 above. That is, the sum of the
total points, the outside width, and the four longest tines (two per side) equals the
total score for the buck.
|
|
5.
|
Tiebreakers will be determined by the longest tine.
In the case of a tie still remaining, the next longest tine of the four measured,
and so forth, until a winner has been determined.
|
|
|
8.
|
POINT SYSTEM:
Winners are decided by the total score according to the contest's point system:
|
|
|
|
a.
|
No points will be counted that are less than one (1") inch from its base.
|
|
b.
|
All measurements are rounded off to the nearest 1/8 inch.
|
|
c.
|
Broken points measuring less than the minimum length will not count.
|
|
d.
|
If the main beam is broken, measurement will not include the detached portion of the antler.
|
|
e.
|
If the main beams are moveable, measurement will be made at the narrowest point when the antlers are held in.
|
|
f.
|
Once measured, a buck cannot be measured by another measurer unless authorized by the contest committee.
|
|
g.
|
In the case of a tie, winners will be chosen by a drawing between the hunters whose scores are tied.
|
|
|
9.
|
Hunters may be required to take a Polygraph test.
A submission form authorizing a polygraph test must be signed by any
registered hunter bringing in deer for measurement. If a youth, a parent
or guardian must sign submission form. Failure to sign submission form,
failure to submit to the polygraph exam, or failure of the
polygraph exam results in disqualification.
|
|
10.
|
Hunters attempting to cheat in the Area Big Buck Contest or violating Texas Game Laws
are disqualified and barred from entering this contest for a period of time to be
determined by the contest committee.
|
|
11.
|
No more than one prize will be awarded to any
registered hunter. A hunter's second buck is valid only if it
outscores first buck.
|
|
12.
|
Door prizes will be awarded only to contest entrants present at the Awards Banquet.
|
|
13.
|
All decisions of the contest committee are final.
