​

Tournament Day & Identifier

Identifiers can be printed off HERE. The code for the identifier will be released at 9PM on April 19th on Facebook, Tourney X, and Twitter.  An identifier with no code, the wrong code, or codes in the wrong boxes will not be accepted.  If participating in multiple tournaments you can combine codes on a single identifier, but they must be correct and they must be in the correct boxes.

 

6:15AM - The Captain's Meeting is MANDATORY and all anglers should meet at:

Buckeye Lake Brewery

5176 Walnut Road

Buckeye Lake, OH 43008

.

We will also release the identifier code and do a very quick rundown of the most commonly broken rules.   As soon as the meeting wraps up anglers can proceed to the lake.

​

6:45AM - Anglers can begin fishing and have lines in the water.  Any fish caught prior to 6:45 AM will be DQ'd.

 

12:00-3:00PM - At some point during this timeframe the Tourney X standings will disappear to add a little drama to the final standings.  Once they go dark you will still be able to submit fish.  If you want to verify your fish have been uploaded check the email address you signed up with for Tourney X or check your app.   The main reason a fish submission won't upload is because there is no cellular service where you are uploading.  Anglers need to be aware of that and head to a spot with service in enough time to upload. 

​

3:00PM - Fishing ends and no submissions will be accepted.  If you are unable to upload fish you are required to be back at the measure-in location BEFORE 3PM.  If you arrive after 3PM the fish will be disqualified.

 

4:00PM - All anglers are required to be at the measure-in located at: 

Buckeye Lake Brewery

5176 Walnut Road

Buckeye Lake, OH 43008

.  

​

If you do not attend the measure-in:

*You forfeit all rights to the 50/50 cash drawing you entered

*You forfeit all rights to all the raffle prizes that are awarded to anglers who didn't finish in the top 2 (or won big fish).

*You forfeit any trail points that would have been awarded.

*You are required to get word to the tournament director via another angler or through the Tourney X app.
