Minors are eligible to\n participate with a parent or legal guardian signature on the release form. All participants represent that they\n are physically and mentally competent and fit and able to participate. By entering\, all participants agree to\n assume all risks of personal injury\, death\, and damage to or loss of property and further agree to indemnify and\n hold BCFKC\, its officers\, members\, agents\, and sponsors harmless from and against any and all claims\,\n liabilities\, and causes of action resulting directly or indirectly from participation. \n \n\n \n FISHING LICENSE \n All anglers must possess all licenses and permits required by law to catch or\n harvest any species eligible in this tournament. \n \n\n \n KAYAK/WATERCRAFT REGULATIONS \n ALLOWED PROPULSION METHODS: Paddle\, pedal\, pole and electric motor. See additional requirements for motors below.\n \n MOTOR ELIGIBILITY: Only one electric motor may be attached to the kayak. It must be attached to\n the kayak in a safe manner for operation and meet the following criteria: \n \n Maximum of 3 HP or 155 foot-pound thrust.\n Dual-prop motors operated by a single power source are allowed if manufactured and sold as a single unit.\n \n WATERCRAFT ELIGIBILITY: Must be a vessel the manufacturer identifies and sells as a kayak\, including: inflatable\n kayaks\, modular kayaks\, stand-up paddleboards (SUPs) and canoes. Catamaran-style personal fishing vessels are\n allowed if they comply with all other regulations. Other watercraft may be approved by the BCKFC\n Board prior to competition. \n PROHIBITED WATERCRAFT: The following are NOT allowed: soloskiffs or vessels marketed as skiffs\,\n homemade kayaks\, sailboats\, jon boats\, pirogues\, coracles\, rowboats\, dinghies\, skiffs\, float tubes\, inflatable\n rafts\, rigid inflatable boats (e.g.\, Zodiac)\, pontoon boats\, pontoon-style pond boats\, twin-hull watercraft\, or\n similar.\n \n WATERCRAFT SIZE RESTRICTIONS: Vessel must be at least 9 feet and shorter than 18\n feet. \n ANCHOR SYSTEMS: Both manual and motorized anchor systems are permitted. \n DEPTH FINDERS: Depth finders and fish finders are allowed. \n WADE FISHING AND BANK FISHING: Contestants may wade fish or fish off the bank only if they\n remain within 100 feet of their launched paddle craft. “Launched” means the\n kayak is partly in fishable water (not in a parking lot puddle). \n PROHIBITED ACTIONS: Mother-shipping\, tethering\, holding\, or any transportation coordination with\n non-competitors is strictly prohibited. \n KAYAK INSPECTION: By entering the tournament\, contestants agree to have their kayak inspected by BCKFC\n personnel. \n \n\n \n WATER COURTESY / ENCROACHMENT \n Do your best not to disturb someone else’s fishing area\, by encroachment\, or\n noise. An angler officially establishes his/her fishing area by having their craft anchored in place. If you\n come upon an angler in an egress area\, as quietly as you can\, ask which side he or she would like you to cross\n at. A good rule of thumb is that if you can both cast to a common point you’re too close. Respect others and use\n the golden rule. \n \n\n \n PROTESTS \n All protests must be written and submitted electronically (text/email/direct\n message from social media) within 30 minutes of the conclusion of “weigh in” to be considered. The tournament\n director is the final authority on deciding the merits/outcomes of a protest.  All anglers are encouraged\n to report cheating. \n \n\n \n CHEATING/FOUL PLAY \n All anglers are encouraged to report violations.

Bayou Coast will enforce a zero-tolerance policy\n with regard to cheating. \n \n\n \n POLYGRAPH EXAMINATION \n All participants\, by signing up\, agree to take a polygraph examination if\n requested. Any participant can be asked to submit to a polygraph examination. No explanation shall be required\n from the hosts of the tournament as to why a specific individual is asked to submit to a polygraph examination.\n Refusal to submit to or failure of a polygraph examination will result in disqualification from the tournament\,\n forfeiture of any and all prizes / awards\, and potential banishment from all future Bayou Coast events. No\n refunds for tournament fees will be granted for person(s) refusing to submit to or failing a polygraph\n examination. \n \n\n \n RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE \n A waiver\, release of liability\, and covenant not to sue are part of the entry\n form.

PFD’s must be worn outside of the angler’s outermost layer of\n clothing. Failure to comply with this rule during competition could result in disqualification from the\n tournament. Disqualification will be determined by the Tournament Director based on investigation of any\n specific incident. PFD’s may only be briefly removed on the water for the purpose of adding\, removing\, or\n adjusting clothing while an angler is stationary and not actively fishing. \n \n\n \n RULE CHANGES \n Interpretation of rules is exclusively left to the Tournament Directors and Bayou\n Coast Officers. The decisions of this group are final in all matters and are not subject to appeal.

You may not give fish to another\n participant. You may not net a fish for another (adult) participant. Youths should hook and retrieve their own\n catch. A parent/guardian may net fish for them and may handle the fish once it is netted (including pictures in\n CPS events). In CPS events\, anglers (participant or not) may not aid in taking pictures of fish in any\n way. \n \n\n \n DRONE/UAS USAGE \n Tournament participants are not allowed to use unmanned aircraft systems (drones)\n during the tournament day(or official practice days) to scout for fish\, spy on other anglers\, or any other means\n that may be viewed as benefiting/advancing their fishing. \n \n\n \n WEATHER \n Tournament days may be shortened or canceled due to unsafe weather or water\n conditions. The decision to shorten or to cancel will be left totally to the discretion of the Tournament\n Director. A 4-hour period shall constitute a day of fishing. \n \n\n \n REFUND POLICY \n There will be no refunds available.
