bronzebackhuntr Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 I have a ? on rule # 14 pertaining to the classic. I only have one other tourney to fish to make the minimum of 5 tourneys to qualify, but say next spring when we are having the tourney I can't find anyone to fish with me that has fished 5 of them. Can I bring a non member or a member that has fished less than 5 tourneys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I bring a non member or a member that has fished less than 5 tourneys? has this question ever been answered, with the pending cancellation of SOHO and it getting late in the year and the weather being questionable for Nov & Dec?
