Reminder:
Registration, Drivers’ Meeting and Blast Off
Tournament registration will be halted prior to the start of the drivers meeting. Registration will resume after the drivers meeting. Those anglers that did not register prior to the drivers meeting will automatically be assigned to flight #1 for weigh-in, however, they will not blast-off until the end of the last flight. Late registrants will be blasted off in order of the number assigned at the registration desk and will return for weigh-in with flight #1.
It is imperative that all boats have their live wells checked and be in the water before the drivers meeting. The Tournament Director will not delay blast off due to anglers that have not had their live wells checked or have not safely launched their boats. In the event your boat is not in the water at the time your number is called, your blast off will be delayed until the Tournament Official re-calls your number. In most cases your number will be recalled at the end of the last flight and before the first number of the late registrants.
Regardless of blast off time, you and your partner will be required to return for weigh-in at the time of your assigned flight.
If tournament officials fail to check your boat, please seek them out ASAP prior to blast off. In rare cases in order to expedite the blast off, a drive by check will be permitted. All drive by checks must be cleared by the Tournament Officials prior to blast off.
As always changes made to this format are at the discretion of the Tournament Director. Please register early.
