Is it wrong?

[alycat]

Normally in a tournament If someone cuts me off on a bank I don't sweat it I just nod and smile and do my damnest to catch a fish right in front of them. But if another person that is in the tournament cuts me off within 50 yards I can notify the tournament director of the rules infraction. also if you know the person whom cut you off is in a tournament write down the boat registration number and find the tournament director and notify them of any unsafe or unsportsman like conduct and they can be disqualified. There are tournament rules that they have to follow and sportsmanship is one of the main rules. I'm curtiess to a point then the ex cop in me comes out. LOL...

Any tournament I have been in, the trolling motor must be in the upright position and the boat on anchor for the 50 yard buffer rule to apply........maybe you fish a club tournament with a different set of rules, but that's the way I've always seen it.
