Checks in the amount of $200 must be received by Sept. 1, 2010. Make checks payable to Ben Merritt. This amount is non-refundable and will be added to the 100% Payout whether you are able to compete or not. If for some reason, you are unable to make it on Saturday, you can still win by having an amazing stringer on Sunday. You may have a flat tire, oversleep, etc. and still salvage the rest of the day providing you make it to weigh-in on time. (IT IS A GOOD IDEA to put your phone number on your check. That way I can reach you if for some strange reason it does not clear. If it does not clear, you cannot compete unless you pay at the ramp on Saturday.)

I will also need your name and the name of your partner so there is no doubt who has paid.

I will mail you a business card with my signature on it. (Be sure your return address is on the envelope.)You will need this card to weigh-in, so don't lose it. If your card is lost, call me at 580-704-6488 and you can pick up a replacement at Catfish Bay before the tournament begins.

Weigh-in will be at 3pm sharp. Your stringer will be penalized one pound for every minute you are late up to 15 minutes. After 3:15 pm, you will not be allowed to weigh for the current day.

Official time will be kept by my cell phone. Yours will likely be the same.

Launch may occur at any time, but official "allowed to make first cast time" will be 6:00 a.m.

Launch will be held the same for both days. If you have paid early and received your business card, you will not need to check in at the ramp before Launch on Saturday. There is no need to check in at the ramp on Sunday before Launch, unless you missed out on Saturday.

Feel free to post any more questions or call me (Ben) at 580-704-6488.

You are trusting me with your entry fee and I am trusting everyone to compete with all honesty and sportsmanship. Thanks.
