One Fly Team Selection Process
The Jackson Hole One Fly Board of Directors has adopted a team selection policy in order
to ensure an equitable selection process.
2008 team entry deadline (application and deposit) due December 15, 2007.
1. No team will be considered unless their Entry Fee Deposit ($2500 per
team or $5000 for sponsor team) is received by the deadline date.
Total Team Entry Fee is $5000 or $10,000 for Sponsor Teams; Team Alternate
Members are an additional $300 each. 2. A list of teams (with application / deposit received) will be
circulated to all One Fly board members. A team may be eliminated if
behavior at past events has been unacceptable. 3. A list of One Fly Event "supporter" teams will be offered positions.
Teams are considered a supporter team:
a) If they are actively committed to the goals of the One Fly through
special contributions, support of conservation projects, longevity, and
have been willing to help the event when called upon.
b) If their team members participate in all One Fly events, are punctual
and conduct themselves in a sportsmanlike manner.
4. New team applications are encouraged. New teams will be selected each
year. 5. Last years winning team will be offered a position.
Sponsor Teams
6. Ten Sponsor Team positions are available
for $10,000 per team and will be offered a position upon payment of this
fee. If corporate applicants exceed the available positions by the
deadline date, a blind drawing will be used. The corporate sponsor teams will
receive a full page color ad in the One Fly Program Book and a portion
of their entry fee will go to stream improvement projects with special
recognition given to the sponsor.
Blind Drawing
7. The remaining positions and an alternate list will be filled by a blind drawing.
8. Total teams accepted will be Forty.
Definition of a Professional
9. Each team in the One Fly Event may only have one
professional member of the team on each fishing day.
a) Any member will be deemed a professional who is a full-time or part-time fresh or salt water fly fishing guide or captain. A professional is defined as anyone who, within the last 5 years, has received income for services performed as a guide or captain.
Team members who are currently employed or have been employed in the fly fishing industry in a non-professional capacity are NOT DEEMED AS PROFESSIONALS.
