New $100K prize cap for two ice derbies
Organizers of the Sebago Lake derby and the Long Lake Ice Fishing Derby can award at most $100,000 in total prizes per event. This is a firm cap on the total prize value. Organizers must also run these derbies in line with the state fish and wildlife department’s fisheries management goals. These rules shape event budgets, payouts, and how the derbies are conducted.
