Official 2021 Fish For A Cure Rules

 

 

The following rules are in effect for the 2021 Fish For A Cure Tournament. Interpretation of the rules will be defined and enforced exclusively by the Tournament Director. Each participant agrees to immediately report any and all rule violations to the Tournament Director. A rule violation can result in sanctions deemed appropriate by the Tournament Director including to but not limited to disqualifications, forfeiture of prizes, and prohibition from participation in any and or all Victory Fishing Events. Decisions of the Tournament Director are final in all matters and are not subject to appeal, and are not reviewable in any court of law. Victory Fishing Events reserves the right to make needed changes to these rules to ensure the safety and welfare of the participants and or the public, also to preserve the integrity of Victory Fishing Events. It is the responsibility of every participant to read and understand the rules. All participants will be required to sign an affidavit that the rules have been read, understood, and that the participant accepts all the rules. The Tournament Director reserves the right to place an observer in the boat of any participant at any time.

 

Participation is open to everyone with one exception. Anyone who has guided for Largemouth, Smallmouth, or Spotted Bass on Lake Ray Hubbard in the past six months is not eligible to participate. Anyone who has been disqualified from a Victory Fishing Event or other Fishing organization that has resulted from an unexplained rule violation that questions the honesty, integrity, Character, or eligibility of a participant will be left to the tournament director’s sole and absolute discretion. Victory Fishing Events reserves the right to refuse membership and participation for any reason in any and all events to any team or person at the discretion of the Tournament Director.
