Would that matter if they did? Can’t weigh a fish over the radio
You call in the fish if you hooked up before 3pm and lines were still in the water. That don’t buy you extra time to get to the dock though.

I gotcha. Not a professional guys so sorry
Folks I know that fished it called for clarification. They were told that at the captain’s meeting it was announced scales closed at 7.

The capts meeting I was in the guy said 6pm. Guess they had a second one after the first? His exact words were.
You have to be in line at the scale by 6pm. Not in the line of boats. But at the scale. Thats what the young guy in the blue shirt in charge of the meeting said.

^^^ Interesting- note I’m not arguing with you, they were calling to protest originally and this is just what they were told.
There was no requirement to attend the capt meeting. That’s not the time to be making changes to the schedule because a significant number of the participants weren’t there.
If you signed up and fished according to the official rules, including when the scales open and closed, it clearly states they close at 6 PM. You can’t penalize the participants because someone made a typo on the schedule or misspoke at the Capts meeting.

The rules actually state they close at 6pm and 7pm. Both times are listed on registration form I have sitting next to me, as well as the form still on their website. https://bohicket.com/wp-content/uploads/DOLPHIN-SLAM-RULES-ENTRY-FORM-2017.pdf

Fishing 7:00am-3:00pm
Scales Open 3:00pm-7:00pm
Then under rules it states:
2. Scales open from 3pm-6pm
Proofreading must not be their strong point in running an event.

True, and I’ve seen that as well. But if the “rules” are the “official” rules and that’s what you go by as a participant, then those should be the deciding factor.
Not sure how their going to get out of this with just saying “sorry, that was a typo”. The $ difference between 1st and 2nd was over $6k.

Bone…You’re are correct. The 7pm time change was brought up but shot down at the capt. meeting. I was told by the winning boat that they called the committee boat and were told 7pm. At the meeting the people on the committee boat were all about getting out the meeting and socializing.
Now…to add fuel to the fire. I pulled out my slip at 545. I passed the winning boat just pasted the no wake buoy at about 550. They said they had to sit there off the dock and weren’t allowed to dock because boats were fueling. Only spot to dock was the 50 feet of fuel dock and there was a line of about 10 boats as we left. The docking situation was a mess. I would of expected some of what happened at a 1st year event but 4 years in. They should of figured some things out by now.

I think it was weighed in after 6pm. I think the tournament officials screwed up. Its my understanding that calling it in is due to your lines being int he water still at 3pm due to fighting a fish. I don’t recall anyone saying that gets you time to take it easy to get

In my opinion, if the stories are true that there was a question between six and seven, and it was addressed at the captains meeting, then whatever the resolution was at the captains meeting should stand. Any deviation from that regardless of whether or not it came from the committee boat should be null and void since essentially however many dozen people were at the captains meeting were engaged in what is essentially a verbal contract and any deviation from that would be a breech. If the boat that weighed at 6:40 didnt have a representative at the captains meeting well, SOL. What do I know though, I ain’t no lawyer
I would combine 1st & 2nd and split the money down the middle. Sounds like a cluster.
Dark Star
The only solution is to pay out 1rst and 2nd to me in which I will hold in escrow until there is 100% concensus with every participant in the tourny.
You can’t combine 1st and 2nd? You must decide what the official rules were and pay accordingly because combining will screw up 1st 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc… however many they payed as well as the Calcutta. You could come off the hip and pay both teams first place money and go down from there but someone somewhere is getting screwed for following the “rules”. Basically it’s a lose lose for the tournament committee at this point.

How does that work? What about 3rd place? Shouldn’t they be contesting for 2nd? And what about Calcutta? Skinnee is right. Hold everything in escrow until everyone who payed an entree agrees on a solution.
