Bass Busters Pick-Your-Partner Tournament Rules 2008

1. These tournament rules will apply during a tournament that has been designated a “Pick-Your-Partner” by the tournament committee.

2. Members must declare their intent to fish a pick-your-partner tournament at the club meeting. Although as a common courtesy to the boaters, non boaters should try and pair up with a boater at the earliest possible date. If a member is not present they may have an attending member declare their intent for them.

3. Prospective members and guest are invited to fish these tournaments.

4. Order of Priority for pairing of partners:

1 - Member, non-boat owner

2 - Member, boat owner

3 - Prospective member in attendance (walk in).

4 - Sponsored guest in attendance

5 - Outside guest not in attendance

The above order shall govern and each must be satisfied before consideration of the next priority. All members are given priority and will be paired with other members who wish to participate in the tournament. If a member has not been paired, a draw will be held to determine member’s partner.

5. Starting positions will be determined by a draw. The last boat drawn will become the de facto starter and is in charge of starting the boats according to their number. Starting positions will reverse on 2^nd day of a two day tournament and boat number one will become the de facto starter.
