http://www.saltwaterbassanglers.com/rules.htm
..These rules are for all 2012 Salt Water Bass Anglers tournaments. Each contestant MUST READ, UNDERSTAND, AGREE TO, AND SIGN a 2012 Salt Water Bass waiver prior to entering their first event each year. These rules will remain unchanged during the 2012 season. Separate or additional rules may apply for, “Special Events”. Ignorance of the rules is not a defense for violation of them. Protests must be made in writing within 30 minutes of the official check-in time of the weigh-in. The tournament director may assess a penalty/ disqualification without a written protest.

....The results of any event where protests have been filed or penalties or disqualifications have been assessed shall be considered unofficial until the tournament director of Salt Water Bass Anglers has conducted a review of the incident. This review shall be completed within 72 hours of the event. The decision of the tournament director shall be final in all matters. Adjustments to the results/paybacks, if necessary, shall be made after the final decision. Our objective is to offer you the fairest most consistent handling of any problem. To avoid protests, if you suspect a possible infraction is about to take place - Alert the would-be offender and check the rules!!!


SPORTSMANSHIP -

....Any contestant who displays poor sportsmanship, violates these rules or violates the state fishing laws may be disqualified. This includes conduct on and off the water including conduct in and around the host facilities for any event as well as conduct on the message boards within the SWBA website. Misconduct may be deemed as an infraction of our sportsmanship rule and is grounds for disqualification from any event and/or exclusion from membership in Salt Water Bass Anglers.

PARTICIPATION AND ELIGIBILITY -

....Participation is open to all members of Salt Water Bass Anglers. Membership is open to everyone. At least one (1) partner of each team shall be 18 years of age or older.

Nets and 'wet bags' that are presented to the weighmaster will not be weighed.
