Hey Paul,

Can you review the entry fees for us old guys that can't remember :o (also fyi for new guys...)?

I seem to recall it's $20 to enter and $5 each day (optional) for big fish...

Also, I assume Rule #9 will be waived if we wanted to fish TR and CR at the same time...as long as we paid both entries separately?

"9. No fishing in multiple tournaments on the same day."

Here is how the dual format will work.
The event will be run as two separate tournaments with the normal entry fee and big fish option. You can fish one region or both regions if you wish. You will need to declare which region your fishing in at check in. If you decide you want to count your weight towards AOY and the TOC in both regions then you will need to enter both tournaments. If you decide to enter both tournaments then the entry will be double. You can also just enter the big fish option for either or both regions but you will not get points for the region you are only fishing big fish option.
Fees are as follows: $20 entry and $5 per day big fish option, per region.

Also rule #9 applies to two different organizations holding tournaments but since this is only a BNT event we are not breaking any rules.

IMO: Rule#9 shouldnt even be in the club rules at all.

Well hopefully having that rule avoids mistakes that have happend in the past if ya know what I mean ;) It does not impede people from fishing in two different BNT regions, but we will never have the problems of people participating in two different organizations at the same time. While this is unlikely, I'm sure you have heard before that there is always a reason for a rule and this one is no exception, I would not want any club official to have to deal with the problems that can arise when there are two orgs fishing the same body of water and have anglers participating in both. Again I understand it may have no meaning for the time being and that is great :7 but keeping it there ensures the problems won't happen.

I guess the rule should state no fishing in other organizations tournaments on the same day an angler participates in a BNT event. Maybe that helps clarify the situation.

CZ makes a good point, better safe than sorry.

IFISH say's,

iFishWong, hahahahahah :7 That's classic man.

Hey CZ, thanks for going easy on me and my " farming " technique.:+ ;)

IFISH

Im sorry quick question, do we need fish bags for the weigh-in? How is the weigh-in done?

No reason to be sorry. No you will not need to provide your own weigh bag, BNT will have plenty on hand for the event. Depending on your style of live well if its is a cooler type well many guys will drag them over near the scales and not need to use a bag. If you have a follow me bag you will want to put your fish in a bag or if your livewell is to heavy to carry you will want to put your fish in a bag.

Since everyone blasts off at the same time we all weigh in at the same time as well no flights. Everyone needs to be within 50 ft. of the launch/weighin site at the time of the end of the tournament for that day otherwise you will be considered late and penalties will be given according to the rules. Once you get to the weigh in site everyone just kind of gets in line for the scales weighs their fish in and then put your boat away.

Hope that helps a bit.
