Tournament Rules Change Proposal for 2018


Pete Potter


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:

Delete the current method of selecting partners and go back to the old method with the addition that if a boater has to fish as a non boater, he will automatically be a boater at the next tournament.  If that boater does not elect to fish at the next tournament, he looses that option.  It does not carry over past the next tournament.

Reasons for proposed change:

Pete will present oral arguments at the meeting to defend this recommendation.
