We're doing things a little differently this year at the Oregon Rockfish Classic when it comes to prizes. In the past, sponsored prizes were given to the top ten finishers. Additional prizes where then raffled off to the remaining contestants.
This year however, we are going with mostly cash prizes for the top ten place finishers and most of our sponsored prizes are going to be raffled off. Each paid registration will entitle you to your first two raffle tickets. Additional raffle tickets will be available for $10 apiece on Friday and Saturday of the tournament.
All of the raffle proceeds will go to support Heroes on the Water (http://heroesonthewater.org) and Neighbors for Kids (http://neighborsforkids.org/)

Now on to the prizes...

The ORC organizing committee is excited to announce that the grand prize for the 2016 ORC raffle is a brand new Wilderness Systems Thresher 140 w/ rudder and a Adventure Technology Odyssey Angler 240 Paddle. This is the premier big water kayak by Wilderness Systems and a combined package value of nearly $2000 MSRP.
Stay tuned for more raffle prize announcements.

THAT is a crazy awesome raffle prize!
Someone could win this by just purchasing a raffle ticket and not even fishing the ORC tournament??
-
Yes, it is a crazy raffle prize. But.... it's not the only great prize we will be raffling off.
Everyone who enters the tournament will get two raffle tickets for registering. Anyone who attends the activities at Chinook Bend RV Resort is free to purchase more raffle tickets at $10 apiece. So don't forget to hit the ATM on the way to the campground. The more raffle tickets we sell, the more we raise for Heroes on the Water and Neighbors for Kids.

"Anyone who attends the activities at Chinook Bend RV Resort is free to purchase more raffle tickets at $10 apiece".
anyone who attends activities means what? entrants only? or mean open to anyone who is camping at chinook bend can get in on raffle?
-
Hopefully it means anyone camped there, right? After all, more raffle tickets sold means more funds raised for HOW and Neighbors for Kids.
-
Very cool! Thanks for the willingness to try something new.

It's new for us, but seems to be a proven formula for many of the NCKA tournaments down in Northern California.

Anyone attending the festivities competitor or not can buy raffle tickets. If you can't compete in ORC you can still have a chance to win the prizes.

got it, thanks for the clarification matt m.

Dang that's a cool top raffle prize! I may just have to get more raffle tickets. I would love to have that kayak in my garage. Good job!

For thoes not staying Saturday night at what time are we planning on holding the raffle and when can we expect everything to be completed?

I will need to coordinate with the taco feed people on that, but I'm hoping to have it wrapped up as soon as possible. If I can squeeze it in before dinner that would be best.

Just a thought but TBMD I do the raffle and awards while we're eating, only takes a second to put down the burger/tritip/brisket and come up front. Just make sure the guys running the show eat first ;)

I like that idea, but with so many people and the usual bottle neck at the fried fish line, there might be too much going on to have everyone's attention during dinner.

Not sure if was mentioned or matters, but does the raffle ticket holder have to be present to collect a winning raffle draw, or will there be a redraw? Obviously if folks can't stick around for the raffle, but have a good friend that is they could have their winnings collected by their buddy. But prizes not claimed, would it be better to redraw or hold the item until this person can pick it up on a later date?
-
Timing the raffle, and eating can be tricky. However, I would suggest we do something like we did back in 2009 at Beverly beach where we ate first, everyone cleaned the area up and then we all sat down and did the raffle well into the evening. Once done, everyone slipped away and nothing was left for someone else to clean up later.
This could help assure that more folks jump in to get the food cleaned up so we can get on with the announcing the winners and then the raffle.
Just a thought. :-\

Yes, the age old question regarding raffles.. I think we are going to go with "must be present to win". This lets us use the simple two part raffle tickets with numbers rather then requiring phone numbers, addresses, etc to be filled out. If you need to take off and have a friend you trust, they can collect prizes for you. Otherwise, prizes that aren't claimed will be redrawn.

Sounds perfect to me. :icon_thumleft:

is there a certain amount of raffle tickets to be sold?

It is my understanding that there is no limit on the total number of raffle tickets. The more they sell the more HOW/NFK get in donations.

I was at fish field today since it is close to my work. They make large swim baits near 9-10 inches I believe. They said they would be interested in sponsoring and mentioned if someone placed with their bait there would be an extra prize from the store. Has anyone reached out to them. If not I would be willing to.

Yes we have, in fact, I think Craig and Steve are there at store this very moment. If you take a look at the NWKA home page you will see we already have them listed as a sponsor. We are still getting the details on this, but from what I understand they will be giving out bonus prizes (possibly cash) to anyone finishing in the top 3 of the tournament with photographic evidence of a FishField Bait being used in that win. We will post the details when we have more information.

Must be present to win would be the simplest way to do the raffle. Trying to allow everyone to take part should be important.
While I understand the reasoning for a post meal drawing, I'd suggest doing it before any cooking. It would allow those working Sunday to start traveling earlier, and those that want to get festive can stretch the meal out at a relaxed pace.

While I understand what you are saying, this also brings us right back to the dine and dash that usually happens when the raffle and cooking take place at the same time. The cooks miss out on most of the festivities (BTDT). Example: They get back to camp from fishing, clean gear, filet fish, immediately start prepping for cooking, cook while raffle and winners are announced, then MUCH of the crowd slip away leaving the mess for the cooks and many of the original event organizers to cleanup.
I still think that cooking, eating, potluck cleanup, winner announcement, then the raffle would be the most logical for the masses.
But, I am not in charge here - just one that has been left with the cleanup more times then I would like repeat. And I am quite sure there are others that feel the same. :-\

Totally agree, if you're dining you should be pitching in.
In my case it's all cart before the horse anyway. The ORC has been my nemesis. Maybe I'll get lucky in a raffle. ;)

Yeah, the best I've done is a 7th place, and with the raffles I scored a t-shirt, a knife and cheap fishing pole that I returned to Fred Meyers for a $45 refund, and I've only missed one ORC since 2009. It's more about camping, fishing, and BS around the fire, than the winning for me at least.
In reality, if the registration to the event also covered our place in line at the fish fry, then I am sure there would be a paid crew to clean up after everyone. Never going to happen, so I would like to see that it is not perceived as such. 8)

Would it be Koser to hand your tickets over to a buddy you trust?

I'm sure that would work well.

I would think that instead of saying:
"The winner must be present to win"
It should say:
"The ticket must be present to win"
This way name, address and phone number won't be needed on the raffle ticket. And the prize does not have to be held and delivered on a different date. If a person is not able to attend the raffle, he could entrust a friend with his tickets to collect his prize for him and deliver it to him instead. No pressure on the organizers to deal with delivery.

What if people just wrote there form names on the back of tickets handed in. If you are going to wait till the end to do the raffles there will probably a couple people who have missed placed there tickets. Or say someone buys 50 to 100 tickets and can't keep track of the numbers. Just a thought, and I know it would take some extra time but might be simplier.

We could hand them out with the captain's bags I guess. Then it would be up to you to put contact info on it. It would also be up to you to have someone pick-up and deliver the prize. This will have to be discussed by the committee. I have to go back and review the rules.

For the smaller prizes I expect it'll be a matter of taking possession at the campground. But with the kayak, will that be physically at the campground with the lucky winner taking possession of it that night, or will it be a coupon redeemable for said kayak from NA (or some other dealer) at a time convenient to the winner?
I only ask as some of us (e.g. me) will be in a vehicle that probably can't handle a second kayak (or at least it would be rather difficult to safely transport).
It's a good problem to have, but something to think about ahead of time.

I can solve that for you. Just give me your kayak raffle ticket(s).
Done!
See, problem solved. ;D

This is how we did TBMD forum or full name on ticket "legible" all though I didn't require they be present to win and still have a few items not picked up. But nothing major for me. Names are way easier IMHO.

My plan if I win any of the cash prizes will be to spend at least the amount given to 6th-10th places on raffle tickets in addition to what I'll be spending anyway. Will raffle tickets be available up to the last moment? Can I just state right now that I'd prefer additional raffle tickets over cash if I'm lucky enough to get 6-10th (or that portion of the cash prize amount if I somehow get 5th or better)?

The Kayak won't be there due to production demands. In my opinion, that is better because the winner gets a voucher for it and then can pick the color they want from the dealer's available stock. At least that is how I understood it.

Just received the MCKay kayak crab trap that was one of the raffle prizes at the ORC raffle, and thought I'd post a pic. I am impressed with the quality of the trap itself and the size should be nice to pull and carry with the yak. I'm ready to try crabbing from the yak again.
My thanks to MCKay, and thank you to the ORC organizers for their work on the raffle and the event!
-
Should include the pic of the trap!
-
Nice! I need to order mine.
-
I traded in the $150 Cabelas prize on a smoker! Woo-Hoo!
Thank you once again to all the organizers and volunteers for putting all this work into the 2016 ORC and helping fund some great organizations.
-
Awesome! Congrats! I have one just like it and in about 20 minuutes, it will be full of salmon. I had to wrok this morning so I couldn't try to catch new salmon, so I am smoking the old.
