That's the point, nobody knows. They change the rules all the time and it affects the prize allocation. If you actually read their rules you are at a disadvantage because half of them are not enforced. I had copies of last years rules and when I presented them to officials I was actually told they were the prior years rules (even though they were handed out at the tournament) and it cost us a boat. When another rule violation was brought up this year concerning last years winner, it was ignored also. Guess who came in second? It cost us another boat. Now if we had known that you needed 3 fish to win division 2 we wouldn't have bothered with the last tournament as we only had one fish weighed in. Not to mention the fact that they decided to make it a one day tournament on Fri. night after many people had bait, hotels, slips reserved for 2 days. No wonder they only got 15 boats or so for the last 3 tournaments. At least Gary reads your site!
