Tmx Participation Requirements & Processes

• Membership must be current to fish in MWBA tournaments. Previous-Year Members must renew their Memberships before entering the January Tournament.

• Tournament Payouts are a 1:4 ratio of Paid Places (ranked by Total Weight) to the Number of Boats entered.

• The Club retains $350 of the Entry Fees total to fund its operational costs. In a 30-boat, 60-angler tournament, this leaves 90% of the Entry Fees in the Payout Pot. Most tournaments tout 80% Payouts.

• Online entry deadline: 6:00 p.m. on the day before the Club meeting preceding the Tournament.

• Entries may be submitted by mail (pay by Check) at the Club meeting immediately preceding the Tournament (pay by check or cash). Either way, submit payment with a completed (click link) Membership Form.

• Boaters must carry at least $300,000 liability insurance on their boat.

• Entrants must sign a Liability Waiver for the Club and assume personal liability for any damage they cause during Pre-Tournament and Tournament activities.

• Co-Anglers are required to contact their Boater as soon as possible after being Paired, to discuss travel logistics, pre-fishing, paying the mandatory Fair Share Fee, whether a back-deck seat is needed, and details of fishing as a Team on Tournament Day (i.e. how and where to fish and what to use).

• An Optional “Grudge Match Tournament” is held on the 3rd Wednesday of December, in lieu of a regular Monthly Tournament. The Grudge Match is the only MWBA Tournament in which non-Members may participate and Anglers may choose their Teammate. Regular MWBA Tournament Rules apply. The Entry Fee is $25, paid online. The Payout Ratio is 1:4.

• Tournaments (including the Grudge Match) include an optional Side Pot. The $20/Angler Side Pot Fee must be paid in cash before the Pre-Launch Meeting. The Payout Ratio is 1:4.
