​Pre-Tournament:

• Check-in before the tournament starts. Check in will open at 7:15 am.  Draw a number for blast-off.  TTT'S OUTDOOR ADVENTURES will provide each team with a scale, log packet, and blast-off number at this time.

• Launch your boat.

• PLEASE attend the pre-tournament meeting.

• Stage your boat for blast-off.  Try to stage your boat according to the blast-off number you drew at check-in.

• Start of the tournament / blast-off.  Hold your blast-off # up so that the Tournament Director can see it once your flight is called as you go past him. 

• Largemouth and Smallmouth bass only. 

• When anglers catch a bass, the coaches MUST oversee the process.

 

During the Tournament:

Step 1.  Every bass caught needs to be weighed on the scales provided by TTT'S OUTDOOR ADVENTURES.  If the bass IS the 1.5 LB MINIMUM WEIGHT or larger, proceed to Step 2. If the bass is less than the minimum weight proceed to Step 1.5.
Step 1.5 Carefully release all bass that are less than the minimum weight.
Step 2.  Take a clear picture of the ENTIRE bass scale showing the weight providing proof of the weight. Weigh the bass in LBS 0.00 (NOT KG OR LBS & OZ) on the scale.
Step 3.  Carefully release the bass
Step 4.  Fill out your log sheet for that bass.
Step 5.  The coach must text the team #, kind of bass (LM = Largemouth, SM = Smallmouth), length and weight of the bass to the phone number we provide for each tournament.  DO NOT SEND PICTURES! 
Step 6.  Be done fishing and back to the boat launch BY THE END OF THE TOURNAMENT.  You are NOT expected to have your boat on the trailer yet.  You do need to be back to the launch area, done fishing and staging to pull your boat out at this time.  ANY TEAM THAT IS NOT BACK ON TIME WILL RECEIVE A 1LB PER MINUTE LATE PENALTY.
Step 7.  Load your boat and re-park your rig.
Step 8.  Check-in by turning in the scales and logbooks TTT'S OUTDOOR ADVENTURES provided you for that tournament.  Be prepared to verify your logbooks with the pictures you took if asked.
Step 9.  Food will be ready for you.  Eat, socialize and enjoy yourself.
Step 10.  Trophies and prizes will be presented once weights are accounted for.
