Each boat that brings in an tournament-eligible fish or a release photo, receives an entry into the boat/motor/trailer drawing. The fish does not have to appear on the board. (Two fishing days means a chance to receive two entries.) The same rules apply to Offshore Tournament participants. Both inshore and offshore participants will be combined in a single drawing for the boat package at Sunday’s awards presentation. The winner must be present to claim the prize. The entrant will have two minutes to claim the prize before another slip is drawn. The winner is responsible for taxes.

Entry into the TWT is optional and TWT entry fees are additional to fees paid to enter the general tournament. General tournament entrants must enter a TWT category to be eligible to win in that TWT category. Ten (10) percent of all TWT entry fees will go to running the tournament. Winnings under TWT are awarded in addition to the general tournament winnings. Only entrants officially registered in the general tournament may enter the TWT, and only the entrant may claim the winnings at the awards presentation All rules pertaining to the general tournament shall apply to the TWT.
