Tournament Rules Change Proposal for 2018


Jeff Weaver


Rule 5  - Partners

  5.e. After all the non-boaters have been accommodated in the tournament draw any remaining boaters will have the option to be solo boaters. If there are any boaters remaining who wish to not be a solo boater then they will be drawn as a non-boater with another boater. The club will NOT be responsible for any tournament expenses of "ANY" who opt to be solo boaters. Any boater opting to fish solo will NOT be permitted to bring a guest, however he may be assigned a partner in accordance with rule 6.   

 

Proposed 2018 Change:

5.e. After all the non-boaters have been accommodated in the tournament draw any remaining boaters will have the option to be solo boaters. If there are any boaters remaining who wish to not be a solo boater then they will be drawn as a non-boater with another boater. The club will NOT be responsible for any tournament expenses of "ANY" who opt to be solo boaters. Any boater opting to fish solo will NOT be permitted to bring a guest, and he will not be assigned a partner in accordance with rule 6. 

Reasons for proposed change:

Boaters who draw out as a solo boater have always been able to invite a guest.  If they wish to be a solo boater and invite a guest they should be able to.  They are expected to pay alltheir own expenses anyway.
