YES. Recommended boaters have them available and that you use one! Discussion with partner for the day is suggested for verification of your access to a net. Co's, recommended you bring a small net of your own to our events to assure you will have one available for your use. Again verify with your boater for the day.
Boaters need to make seats available to Cos. Please have your “sit down” seats and/or “butt seats” available at this event. If necessary, do some swapping with another boater for a day. Career Cos may want to consider getting a couple different seat posts and a seat of their own to bring to any tournaments you attend. Again verify seat arrangements with your boater prior to launch.
In some cases you may be fishing solo for the day depending on pairings. This will be for one day only. Special situations may change this preference, and fishing alone is not a guarantee.
Boaters need liability coverage of at least $300k. Please have a copy of your insurance coverage saved on your phone, or a hard copy. Insurance cards do not show coverage amounts. Have a copy of your coverage amounts available, digital or hard copy will be accepted. There will be random checks! Non compliance of the $300k coverage drops you out of the event until corrected!
YES. There will be running light and kill-switch checks. BASS liability Insurance requires those checks all 3 tournament days. Live-well checks will also be all 3 days. Let me know of any live-well, kill-switch, or light issues prior to 1st day launch, please. We want you safe and “No dead fish” is our goal as a group.
Pairings and launch order will done randomly via computer by CBN officers that are present. Day two launch order, boaters will be flipped and will be reverse order. Cos will be randomly paired again with boaters. NEW! Day three parings and launch order will be determined by standings. 1st place co and boater will be first out and on down the line.
