No boat will leave prior to the official start of the tournament.

The Tournament Director will use his own judgment to determine safe daylight. At that point, it becomes the responsibility of each boater to judge for himself whether or not safe conditions exist and to act accordingly.

Under the leadership of the Tournament Director, it is the responsibility of each participant
to police his own adherence to the Tournament Rules.

The Tournament Director, prior to the start of the tournament will ask all participants to synchronize their watches and announce the weigh-in time. Members arriving back at the tournament site after the deadline time will be automatically disqualified from that days weigh-in. A participant is considered ON TIME if he is within 100 yards of the landing and
is waiting to trailer his boat. The official weigh-in will start when all boats have been removed from the water.

if a boater is giving assistance to another boater in distress ,the boater giving assistance
will not be considered late for the weight-in.

No boat will leave prior to the official start of the tournament.

The Tournament Director will use his own judgment to determine safe daylight. At that point, it becomes the responsibility of each boater to judge for himself whether or not safe conditions exist and to act accordingly.

Remove rule 5 from the S.O.P.

Reason
The reason is that if you are running close to the deadline time and there are numberous boats around the dock and you cannot get to the dock to put your foot or the co angler 's foot on the dock you are considered late. there will be times that the dock has to many boats around it to be able to approach . Everyone should make every effort to remove his boat from the water asap. having to be on the dock is not the standard .
