Tournament Rules Change Proposal for 2018


Randy Cole


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, however he may be assigned a partner in accordance with rule 6. 

Reasons for proposed change:

We allow odd man out boater the opportunity to bring a guest, we should also allow all boaters fishing by themselves the same opportunity. Don’t see the reason to let one and not the others.
