Side Bets If you don’t play, You can’t win!
There will be two games to play. The first is a daily game for most points per boat. The second is derby long for the biggest halibut landed and entered into the derby. You can only win in the categories you play. It takes at least two bets to play per category. If only one bet is made in a category the bet will be fully refunded. The payout will go to whomever played that category and had the highest score/ biggest halibut respectively. If the highest scoring boat did not play one of the categories, they will not win in that category. The boat/ player with the bet for the next highest scoring boat will win that prize. For example: You play all categories of the daily game except the $1000 category, you will win in all but the $1000 category. The boat with the next highest score or whomever bet on that boat will win the $1000 category. There are 6 categories for the Highest Points Daily game: $100, $200, $300, $500, $750, $1000 Payout is 75% of total money taken in, with full participation it would payout $10,687.50.
There are 7 categories for the Biggest Halibut game: $100, $200, $300, $500, $750, $1000, $2000 Payout is 75% of the total money taken in, with full participation it would payout $18,187.50.

Trust me, that will probably be a pretty wild night in Yakutat. Yakutat can be a pretty darn good party, ask Vedder! Don't ask me. I don't remember. Nick mentioned something about not driving on the beach this summer???

Hey, don't knock the local talent, just close your eyes and hold on! I remember something about the local talent at the Glass Door. Some you couldn't drink pretty, but others were not so much. Still, I think I fell in love. Several times. As far as the MC job count me in, if I can fish, drink and play a bit and if I have enough FF miles.
