The first and most important rule is to sign up ONLY if you intend on actually fishing it! There are still too many people who sign up and don't show or cancel with little or no notice. It changes people's plans who may have wanted or been able to fish a tourney at first, but because they didn't get in the first time they changed their plans. Life happens, just not every single week and if it does, don't take a spot you know you can't keep!
Too much work goes into getting the permits and scheduling these things out to have people make excuses all the time and make the field smaller and making the payouts smaller for no real good reason.
Hope you can make some tourneys. They can be fun!
