Tournament Rules:     1.     WEATHER: The decision to fish is solely the captain's choice. All anglers fish at their own discretion and risk. If the tournament rules committee determines it is unsafe to fish, all cash awards will still be presented by randomly selecting boat numbers at the awards party (must be present to win). No entry refunds.   2.     All tournament registered boats MUST visually check out at the designated location inside the Palm Beach Inlet prior to fishing. Check out begins at 6:15 am. After 8:00 am, tournament registered boats must check out at the Riviera Beach Municipal Marina gas dock.   3.     Tournament hours of fishing are 7:00 am to 3:00 pm. Tournament fishing will commence with a Bimini start outside Palm Beach Inlet at 7:00 am. Boats must remain in designated holding area until official start.   4.    All boats entering fish MUST visually check back in at the designated location inside the Palm Beach Inlet by 3:00 pm. Once checked in, your tournament fishing day is complete.   5.     All fish must be caught on rod and reel (no electric reels). Kites, downriggers, planers, and wire lines are permitted. No line test restrictions. Live, dead and artificial baits are permitted. No limits to the number of lines each boat can fish.   6.     All state & federal recreational fishing rules governing weight, size, bag limits and licensing must be observed. Only legal sized fish will be weighed.   7.    Eastern boundary is 25 nautical miles. Fishing in the Bahamas is prohibited.   8.     Tournament scales open at 12 noon. No mutilated fish will be weighed. Anglers entering fish must return to the weigh station in the boat they fished from. No fish or anglers can be transferred between boats. All fish weighed in must be accompanied to the scale by an angler from the boat it was caught from and be weighed in the presence of the Official Tournament Weigh Master. All entered fish must be able to pass a Torrey Meter and organoleptic test. It is important to keep your fish adequately iced. In the event of a tie (identical weights), the first boat that visually checked in will win the award based upon time, the other fish will become eligible for the next lowest award category if applicable.   9.    Only one (1) fish per category, per boat can be entered in the adult categories. Each junior angler is allowed to weigh in one fish. If a category remains vacant (i.e. no 8th place wahoo entered), that prize will not be awarded.   10. Award winners must provide their Social Security number and will be subject to a polygraph examination.   11. Junior anglers are not eligible for adult cash awards. Juniors are defined as kids 12 years old or younger. Juniors must fight their fish unassisted.   12. Any protest concerning a rule violation must be filed prior to the closing of tournament scales. Protests must be submitted in writing and accompanied by $250 cash (non-refundable) to the Tournament Committee. All decisions made by the Tournament Rules Committee are final and official.
