BAM BASSIN' CPR Tournament Rules

Transcription

1 BAM BASSIN' CPR Tournament Rules The tournament will be a CPR Tournament in which the total length of up to FIVE bass will win. The payout will depend on the number of participants. In the event of a tie, the tie breaker will be determined by the single largest fish between the two anglers, if still a tie first submission of the largest fish will break tie. Each angler is required to follow all Federal & State Laws and Regulations. Competitors must wear either an inherent-flotation or auto-inflatable USCGcertified PFD, either vest-style or float jacket. A belt-style PFD is not permitted during competition, even one that deploys as a vest. Any infractions will result in DQ! Alcohol shall not be consumed while on the water. Anglers are not allowed to remove their kayak from the water to get to another body of water. Be cautious of boats and a visi style flag is recommended for safety. Species of black bass are eligible for scoring. That designation includes the two most common species: Largemouth Bass and Spotted/ Kentucky Bass.

2 Each angler is required to conduct himself in a respectable/courteous manner. Each angler must use traditional rods, reels, and line. Only one line is allowed in the water at any given time. Only Artificial baits are allowed(no live bait, or dead bait).

3 Each angler must fish from a kayak, paddleboard, or canoe; JON BOATS, SKIFFS, OR OTHER BOATS ARE NOT ALLOWED. Trolling motors are permitted but limited to a 55 pound thrust. Proper tagging/registration is required if any type of motor is used for propulsion. Each angler must catch his/her fish during tournament time only. Identifier and Kayak MUST be visible in the picture, or subject to DQ. Be sure to check Photo Criteria for proper submissions. The captains meeting will be held online, on Facebook Live. The anglers will then receive the identifier code. Photos must have time stamps and GPS turned on, check your phones settings. The fishing tournament will start at 5:30 A.M.

5 If the fish tail does not clearly arrive at a line on the board, it shall be rounded DOWN to the next ¼ mark, THERE WILL BE NO ROUNDING UP. It is the duty of the judges to be thorough with this and to be fair. Any violations of these rules and/or any actions deemed as cheating may result in the disqualification of tournament and/or future tournaments. All decisions/deductions/disqualifications made by judges are final. CPR criteria will be enforced along with these rules. These rules are for the safety of all participants and to maintain fair tournament. Your honest cooperation will be greatly appreciated. I also ask that each and every participant be patient with us. Good luck to all Anglers and thanks for your interest in the BAM BASSIN event. Thanks!
