  3. Contestants entering by mail must check-in with Tournament Officials before fishing to receive a Tournament Decal which must be displayed on their boat or motor in a location visible to other anglers.  ENTERING IN PERSON OR HAVING SOMEONE ENTER FOR YOU IS CONSIDERED CHECKING- IN.  ONCE YOU HAVE RECEIVED YOUR DECAL, NO FURTHER CHECK-IN IS REQUIRED.

  15. There is no limit to the number of times you may weigh-in fish for the Big Bass of the Hour contests.  However, you may win only one (1) prize per Hour.  Fish weighed in the Hourly contests do not carry forward from Hour to Hour.  The two (2) largest bass a Contestant enters during the entire Tournament will become the Contestant’s “Big Bass” and “Tie Breaker” to qualify for the additional FINAL TOP 20 Prizes.  Only one (1) Place per Contestant will be paid in the overall FINAL TOP 20 standings.
