14.There is no penalty for dead trout.
15.There is a .6oz or 6oz bonus for fish weiged in live. (Sorry my copy is

Championship is in October. One 8 hour tournament for the top 25 teams.
The other rules are basic tournament rules. If you have further questions call Joe @281-427-1342

Also if your partner can't fish one of the nights you may pick up another partner but he/she has to pay the $50 championship fee also

[gatorbait]

If they want to get a good turnout they need to adjust the rules some. There are literally thousands of shift workers in this area who fish and its not worth my money or time if I cant fish every tournament, or find a partner with the same schedule as me. If you have to enter to get your two pounds then I cant see many shift workers getting in on this. Our schedules dont give us every tuesday off and your gonna need to at least enter to get min weight. Sounds like a tournament for the straight days guys. Shift workers cant fish enough of them to make it worth their time. Sounds like a good deal for you guys who work a mon-fri day job though.

Anybody know the results from last nights tournament? Winning weight and team? How many teams? Is there actually a championship tournament or is the championship decided by the team with the most points for the season?

[Too Tall]

Havens the top 25 teams compete in an 8 hour tournament one weekend in Oct. Dont know the answer to the rest o your questions.

[CaptainHebert]

I think the winning weight was 8.76. There is a 8 hour Tournament for Top 25 at the end. Also a Leading Team at the end of all the Tournaments will be rewarded. This will be seperate from the Championship Tournament for the top 25.

[CaptainHebert]

Anybody who signs up and starts now still has a great chance. I do not think we even have 25 Teams entered yet. So as of now everybody is in the final for the big money. Tuesday at Thompsons be there about 5:30pm.
See Ya There

[CaptainHebert]

As fo the shift workers. That is what I am. Just find you a partner and fish when you can. You do not both have to show up to keep your points going. One can fish for the team if the other can not make it.
