Frag picking starts @ 11:30 Am
Entry fee will be $12.00 prepay by pay pal and $15.00 at the door for swappers and $7.00 dollars for non swappers(to cover food costs). All Prepaid entries will receive Blimpie Sub’s, drinks and snacks. We will do our best to have food for people that pay the day of the swap, but no guarantees as we have to preorder the food.

So Please Pre pay!!!
Please Prepay at
www.Paypal.com to the following address

You are encouraged to be member of a Aquarium club. All Aquarium Club members will get 5 free raffle tickets at check in, but you must sign up for a club by Wednesday before the Swap so we have time to acquire a member’s lists from neighboring clubs. If you are not club member by the deadline, you can sign up for the MARS club at the swap, but we strongly encourage you to sign up before the Swap. Raffle tickets will not be for sale and will only be available to club members. All Club Members who bring a can of food will receive one raffle ticket per can of food at check in. Also all Club Members that bring in a new toy will receive 10 raffle tickets at check in.
Rules
You must Bring 3 Frags to participate, they can be a mix of LPS, SPS, Softies and Zoas.
If you do not have 3 frags to bring you can pick some up at a LFS for around $30.00, but we strongly encourage you to buy them from our LFS that are sponsoring the event.
All frags must come in hard containers and clearly marked with your RC handle, name of coral(scientific or common name),Genus (LPS,SPS,Softy,Zoas,Paly’s etc…), lighting , flow and any special feeding requirements. We would suggest using labels and putting them on a place on the container were they will not get wet.
If you do not bring frags in a hard container they will be available at check in for $1.00 each, labels will also be available at check in, but PLEASE have them pre labeled and in hard containers as check in will go much faster that way!!!
We also suggest to bring a cooler to bring your frags in and to store them after your picks.
The picking order will be chosen randomly.
The order will be as follows
Round 1-bonus,A,B,C,D,E,F,H,I
Round 2-bonus,I,H,G,F,E,D,C,B,A
Round 3-bonus,A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I
Round 4-I,H,G,F,E,D,C,B,A
And so on until there are no more corals left.
To qualify for the Bonus Rounds you must bring your 3 entry frags plus the following
2 exceptional frags= 1 bonus round ticket
10 regular frags= 1 bonus round ticket ( the 10 frags must be no more than 5 of the same sp for example 10 brown birds nest frags not ok,5 brown birds nest frags and 5 purple birds nest frags ok)
4 exceptional frags= 2 bonus round tickets
2 exceptional frags and 10 regular frags= 2 bonus round tickets
20 regular frags=2 bonus round tickets
6 exceptional frags= 3 bonus round tickets
4 exceptional frags and 10 regular frags= 3 bonus tickets
2 exceptional frags and 20 regular frags= 3 bonus round tickets
30 regular frags= 3 bonus round tickets
The exceptional frags will be agreed on by a select panel of experienced reefers.
To find out if a coral will qualify for exceptional there will be a thread in the MARS forum for you to post your frags for consideration. They will reply to your request there.

I will be using this to cut and paste to make the flier.
I still have about 5-6 LFS to go to tomorrow to see if they want to be on board as well.
I have had a good response at all of our LFS that I have been to so far, so things are looking good for the raffle and for the swap as some have said they will be putting in some really sweet frags into the swap.
I could use a few volunteers to help with some projects before the swap, please PM me if you would like to help with that.
So everyone please bare with me and this will be an awesome event.
Chris
