9. The tournament director will do his best to be at the tournament lake launch site parking lot 45 minutes to an hour before blast-off.
10. The tournament director will launch 10-15 minutes before blast-off based on launch ramp congestion.
11. If you pull up at the time of blast-off, flash your lights or honk to get the tournament director's attention. The director will hang back after blast-off to get you checked in.
12. If you are late for a tournament and have already paid the entry fee and all your credentials (license, insurance, and boaters card) are previously verified, check in with any Rogue Valley BassMasters club member to verify you are there before you start fishing.
13. If you are late for a tournament and have not already paid the entry fee, you need to find the tournament director to get paid up before you start fishing (as stated in the bylaws).  If possible, please write your name(s) on a piece of paper or envelope with the dollar amount. If change is needed, you will get it after the tournament.
14. If you are late for a tournament, expect to have your live-wells checked.
15. Weigh-in times are on Saturday at 3pm and Sunday at 2pm.
16. If you “Blank” at a tournament, be sure to let the director know at weigh-in time.
17. If you leave a tournament early, please let someone in the club know that you are leaving.  If you don’t see anyone, leave a note on a club member's vehicle.
18. The “Wil-E-Go” board will be the official fish length qualifier.  California’s minimum length is 12” and Oregon’s minimum length is 10” any way legal on the Wil-E-Go board.

20. Please make sure the director has your name correct when weighing in and have logged in your correct weight.
21. The only time you’re allowed on the lake within the “Off-Limits” time is for boat mooring or to work on your boat at the boat ramp and docking area.
