Proposed Bass Tournament Rules for TCAC

[David Siegel]

• The Monday before any tournament, E-mail Mike Kost at [e-mail] to elect to be either a boater or a non-boater. If you choose to fish alone – let Mike know by E-mail.
• The tournament committee will draw random names to determine teams, and you will be notified by E-mail of the results on the Thursday prior to the tournament. No consecutive fishing partners.
• Once notified about teams, the boater should contact the non-boater to discuss fishing ideas.
• A fee will be assessed to defray the boater’s gas cost.
• There will be only 1 launch site per tournament.
• Boats will all leave at designated start times and return at designated end times. Boats must arrive at the launch site at the designated end time or be disqualified.
• Start times, end times and launch sites will be determined by the club members at the previous month’s meeting.
• The tournament committee will determine the order for departure by a random drawing.
• At weigh in time, each fish will be assessed 5 pts / 5 fish limit. In SC (5) 12” large mouth bass. In NC (2) 12” & (3) 14” large mouth bass.
• A 2 pt deduction for a dead fish.
• The winner for each tournament will be determined by the total number of points. If there is a tie, the winner will be determined by the biggest fish.
• A certificate will be awarded to 1 winner per tournament.
• The TCAC recommends a catch and release policy.
• Any comments / suggestions are welcome. My E-mail: [e-mail].
