For disputes for AOTY or DOTY please just PM any or all of the committee members...

DOTY committee is me, IceColdChuck, nelson kwok and StinkyPete.

Sailfish is also on the AOTY committee.

If there is an issue with an account not being activated after payment is made, or a password needing to be reset I can usually take care of that pretty quick for both AOTY and DOTY.

 :smt006

Sincerely,

Jim

PM is the best route if you have questions about AOTY. We should probably edit the aoty & doty homepage to include instrux on contacting committee members (with list of members etc). But the question of how to appeal a ruling/DQ is new to me. I don't know if there is an established process for appeals...or if that would even be necessary. 
I assume this question is regarding the open-mouth rule. Here are some examples of fish that were DQ'd this year due to violation of said rule. And believe me, the LAST thing we want to do it DQ people's fish!

I just scrolled through the list of catches real quick and counted 16 rejected fish in 2015. The majority being due to the open mouth rule. There are about 580 fish entered. That's a 2.8% rejection rate.

I think in this particular instance its very difficult to tell whether the mouth was closed or open - more of a picture problem.  Need to make sure we get higher quality pictures of fish, especially if the fish is pictured dead.

+1.  It's one thing to end up with crummy photos when the fish is alive and kicking in your lap on a bumpy ocean (case in point: OTW photos of my best ling from last year weren't good enough for submission due to a foggy lens, choppy seas, and a very angry lingcod, so I didn't bother submitting them).  But if it's a dead fish on shore, there's really no excuse to NOT get good photos.  It sucks to see good fish DQed due to photo quality, but rules is rules.

Yeah, I don't know which entry and I've been staying away from AOTY stuff, but for both AOTY and DOTY its all about what we (the AOTY or DOTY committee) can see in the picture...

If a shadow is blocking mouth and we can't see it how do we know it was closed?

If there is no full body shot showing entire length of fish how do we know that mouth of fish wasn't moved slightly off end of hawg trough so tail could reach a little further?

I know everybody likes to put "witnessed by" so and so...which is great...but if the pics aren't good enough, the pics aren't good enough...regardless of how many guys stood around and watched you take crappy pics.

Sorry for being so blunt...I've been on a diet and am constantly hangry these days.  :smt012

Need to go shoot a fish in the face.

What is the problem? Aoty is Cen Coast, ATD Archie Marx, and myself.

Fixed it, but feel free to send ATD all your AOTY hatemail  :smt003 :smt006

I think I can speak for the entire committee when I say that we hate rejecting fish. If we hold to a hard rule, then it's because we prefer that all conflicts are directed at the committee instead of between competitors.

I like it! I makes me feel powerful.

Not really, I hate it too. But we do need to stick to the rules so there is no conflict between competitors.

I think there should definitely be a IOTY award. I'd have a much better chance at that one than AOTY...
