What to do if your running late for a tourney....
This is something that Winn set up and had in place. I just cut and pasted directly and changed the contact info.
O.K. Guys and Gals if something happens and your running late for one of our tourneys just call me at least 30 minutes before blastoff time and I will write your names on the board. The rest of us will blast off on time and you can launch whenever you get there. You will be expected to sign the paperwork and pay the fees before we weigh the fish. This will work just fine if the blooming cell service works where ever we may be. I would suggest that you print the thread titled " NexTel ID & Cell Phone Numbers..... " and take it with you. If you can't reach my cell phone you might get through to one of the other members and they can tell me and that will work too. Here is my info again...
