Question

What if people putting on a tournament refuse to pay winnings?

Community Answer

If there was a contract signed, then by law they have to as long as the contract had no specific conditions as to why they may not pay winnings. However, if it was a hosted and sponsored tournament and there was no contract and you simply entered and won, they don't have to pay you. It is however bad for business, in which case you could make a scene or post it publicly.

Community Answer

If the fishing tournament being hosted has two people per boat, the person who owns, drives, is fishing a higher level, purchases higher designation, or is decided between the two partners as the leader of the team is called the boater. The individual that is fishing in the same boat as the boater, but is not designated as the boater is called a co-angler.

Question

Do those running the tournament fish free or do they pay entry fee?

Community Answer

Typically, those who run the tournament do not fish the tournament as it can cause conflict at the weigh-in. On the off chance that you were to win the tournament you are running, it will cause a lot of unnecessary confusion.
