~Bass Tournament Rules~

1. This tournament is exclusively for bass; only bass will be counted.

2. This is a single-person tournament; team entries are not allowed.

3. This is a catch-and-release tournament; please keep all caught fish alive.

4. No watercraft are allowed (this includes kayaks, boats, canoes, floaties, etc.).

5. Carts are permitted for use; participants must adhere to the golf course's cart rules.

6. All fish must be released alive after weighing.

7. Fish must be weighed at the designated location within the specified time frame.

8. Contestants displaying poor sportsmanship and/or misconduct, or violating these rules, state fishing laws, or golf course regulations may be disqualified or excluded from the tournament.

9. Contestants must make every effort to keep all fish alive using a properly aerated livewell. We strongly recommend using chemical additives in livewells. A weight deduction of 0.20 lbs will be applied for each dead fish presented for weigh-in. Contestants must have a safe method for transporting their catch to the weighing station at the pro shop.

10. Scoring will be based on the total weight of each contestant's catch. Each angler is limited to three (3) fish.

11. Once the tournament limit has been reached, any angler landing an additional fish must stop fishing until one fish is culled (selectively removed) to maintain the limit of three (3).

12. A penalty of 0.20 lbs will be applied for each "dead fish."

13. Losing a weight slip during tournament hours may result in disqualification. Weight slips will be issued upon the first fish weigh-in.

14. Public intoxication is prohibited. Alcohol can only be purchased from the pro shop.

15. Participants must wear a wristband to weigh in fish and to participate in the tournament. Wristbands will be distributed after the entry fee is paid.

16. Children under 12 can fish for free, but cannot win any prizes unless they pay the entry fee.
