Tournament Rules
Jere Jaillite
Rule 1:

1. In order to receive credit for fishing a club tournament, a member must be in good standing, tournament fees paid and actually fish the tournament, ( Defined as launching boat and having boat number called out).
Members who pay their fees and do not fish the tournament will receive their points but will not receive credit for the tournament as one of the previous 6 tournaments fished to qualify for the fish-off, however, the $5.00 contribution paid will count towards the fish-off.

2011 Change:
Rule 1:

1. In order to receive credit for fishing a club tournament, a member must be in good standing, tournament fees paid and actually fish the tournament, (Defined as launching boat and having boat number called out).
Members who pay their fees and do not fish the tournament WILL NOT receive tournament points,
nor credit for the tournament as one of the previous 6 tournaments fished to qualify for the fish-off or to vote.
However, the $5.00 contribution paid toward the fish-off pot will count towards the fish-off.

Reason

This rule change along with changing rule 23 are required to clarify the requirement to actually fish a tournament
in order to receive points and hopefully, stop anyone from "buying" tournament points in the future.
