ok yall, here are the final dates of our shoots.... I think you will find that we got pretty creative this year, hoping to change it up from the same old same old of years past.

-all tournaments except cooper river tournaments will still be trailering.

-teams need to be at the blast off location by atleast one hour before official sunset.

-weigh in time will be 2:00 am until the time changes, then it will move to 3:00 am.

- entry fees will be 25 dollars per member, and 35 dollars per NON-member unless otherwise stated.

-rules will be the same as last year-
-no cheating
-no gigs or nets allowed in the boat
-no excessive drinking
-all teams must follow all scdnr rules
-only gaffs under 6' in lenght are allowed to aid in landing fish

any team caught breaking a rule will be subject to disqualification, and possible revoked membership.

champoinship points race

teams will receive points depending on how they place in each tournament. At the end of the year, who ever has the most points will be crowned the 2011 lowcountry bowfishers champion. All membership dues, and 10% of each tournaments pot will be put towards the championship pot. Two yearly big fish, and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, along with the rookie of the year prize.

Points will be rewarded as followed-

We will also give points for two big fish for each tournament. 15 points each. Please have your big fish picked out before you come to the scales. We will only weigh in one big fish of each species per team!

Also, see the tournament schedule below for opportunities for bonus points!!!!!!!

i think i have covered it all, if there are any questions feel free to ask....

I will have a flyer for each tournament to hand out to each team so they know exactly what fish the they need to target, to try to eliminate any confusion.
