So you have a year end championship that you have to " qualify " for. T D. Makes a mistake and let's someone in that isn't qualified. He wins event. The next day everyone realized he wasn't qualified.
What now ??..?

Win pulled and awarded to first actually qualified person.
Fire the TD and anyone else who should have realized.

Water under the bridge. Vote in new TD for next year. People make mistakes.

That would suck? Going to be hard to get any money back and get everything straightened out. Where was it at? IM me if you don't want to say on here.
As long as the guy who won didn't plant fresh green brush piles within days of the tournament, the win stands...
I guess the real question is, did the guy who won know he didn't qualify???... Dan
Might not be able to vote out a TD if he is the one running the Tournament.
I see what you did there.As long as the guy who won didn't plant fresh green brush piles within days of the tournament, the win stands...

IF there is something that the winner signed prior, basically saying any decision is under the discretion of the t director(or some such wording) I'm thinking the winner would get contacted , have to give the money back. Director would refund his entry fee back (maybe another hundred bucks or so for his time) and it would go to second place person.
OR
nothing was signed, and the tournament takes the static for messing up and the guy keeps the win and money.
Crappy situation for sure, and even more so depending on the amount involved.
Curious us to see what some other guys think.

If YOUR money from previous events was used for payouts in a QUALIFIED event, then the top finisher that is qualified wins the event.
If it was an innocent mistake (not the TD's best friend) then you have to let it ride. The real solution though is to go to the winner and explain the situation, an honorable guy would step aside. We had a similar mix up on qualifications so I gave up my slot to avoid the appearance of a conflict (I was state president). 90% of the guys thought I shouldn't have gave up the slot but it turned out to be the best thing in the long run.
Normally "Protest" have to be filed in writing within a certain period time... 15 or 30 minutes after the weigh-in closes... No protest filed within that time period, tough noogies... Tournament director screwed up... I like the comments "fire the TD", he'd probably whistle and dance if he was. It's THE most thankless job on the face of the earth... Dan

This...good gosh....How do you think he feels?
I guess it would matter it it was a big event, TBF, but club? Let it ride, the TD is a volunteer at at thankless position.
That’s not really a hypothetical situation,it happens all the time. We have a trail here called Bojangles ,several years ago the director/owner let Mr Williams into the classic when he hadn’t qualified. The classic was at Kerr Lake and Mr Williams won,the payout was a new boat. Nothing anyone could do about it,except that I quit fishing with them. The ABA does it almost every year at their national tournament,the rules say top 500 in points qualify but Mr Sheehan will let in anyone with the entry fee money because a full field means more money for him. I think if the rules say top 500 then anyone below the cut line does not qualify.
I agree. The rest of y’all should’ve paid closer attention.
.
How much money are we talking here?
We have to qualify our way into the Championship as well. One thing that I do is verbally state the current qualification status for each team with two qualifiers remaining so everyone hears it and everyone knows the status of the Championship field. Then after the final qualifier, I publish the field of teams that are eligible to compete in the Championship. There cannot be any confusion or questions, either you qualified to fish in the Championship or failed to qualify to fish in the Championship.
