OFFICIAL TOURNAMENT RULES

1. This tournament has four divisions in which you may win prizes: Bass, Crappie, Perch, and Catfish

2. The top three largest bass, crappie, catfish, and perch of each day will determine the children's division winners for that day. Prizes will be awarded at the end of each tournament day. No child may win more than one place. Example: If a child has the 2nd largest catfish and the 3rd largest perch, they will be awarded the 2nd place prize in the catfish division.
