Tournament/Contest/Lake Rules Update: 4/15/12
1) Failure to abide by Tournament and Lake Rules will result in immediate disqualification from
the Tournament or Contest. Disqualified contestants will be ineligible for any prizes and/or
points awarded during that event(s). Disqualified contestant(s) may be asked to immediately
leave the Lake and NO refunds will be made for either the Lake and or the Tournament Entry

Admissions for that individual(s).
2) If you witness anyone not following any of the Official Tournament or Lake Rules, please
IMMEDIATELY report the suspected violators to Tournament or Lake Officials. As it is

the rules are adhered to can ensure that these contests/tournaments remain fair and honest
which GREATLY benefits you as well as all of your fellow anglers.
3) Lake or Tournament Officials will immediately investigate any reported rules infraction and
make a decision of eligibility or disqualification following a thorough review of the facts and the
available witnesses surrounding the incident. A decision will be made at the sole and exclusive
discretion of the Officials, and that decision will be final.
