Decisions regarding eligibility are at the sole discretion of the Future Pro Top-75 organization and its Tournament Competition Committee and all decisions will be final.

.

1. Start of Tournament: The order that teams are required to blast-off and check-in, will be determined by a random draw before the start of the event. Two days prior to the event, one member from each team will be contacted via text and/email and be given their both number and weigh-in times. For safety reasons, Youth League anglers will blast off last, and come in at 2:30pm - well before the boats in the adult division comes in.

1. Payback, Awards, Prizes: Cash paybacks, trophies, and out-of-the money prizes are posted within the payout schedule located at the bottom of the rules section., with a PURE at-the-ramp cash payback of 85% of the paid entries, paid to the TOP TEN finishers in the field.

YAL participants cannot be over 18 years of age, and must have written permission from parents, and be approved by the tournament director prior to participation. YAL participants fish as individuals and are allowed to bring in 5 fish to the scales. YAL participants will place a special “tag” on their fish prior to coming to the scales, to help identify their limit.

If a YAL participant requires an escort to drive the boat to participate, the escort is allowed to fish, and can pay to participate in the regular FUTURE PRO TOP-75 event, but they are not allowed to assist the YAL participant - in any way (except for netting the fish), nor will their fish be included in that YAL participants limit. How To register as a Youth Angler League participant before the event, each YAL participant must register as a “YAL” participant and will receive a special Youth League dog tag.

Please note: that any YAL participant can also be on an adult team and participate in that day’s regular FUTURE PRO TOP-75 event to win the regular event’s purse, cash and prizes.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are a “Pro” level angler that is ineligible to compete in FUTURE PRO TOP-75 events, you may fish with your youth, but only the fish THEY CAUGHT will be allowed to be weighed – they must catch all of the fish they bring to the scales. PLEASE REMEMBER – they must catch their fish – on their own! This is being allowed on the “honor” system.

21. Infringements/Permitted Fishing Areas: A "50-yard rule" is always in effect during competition. No contestant's boat may move within 50 yards of another contestant’s boat at any time for the purpose of fishing.

Exceptions to the 50-yard rule apply only to docks, break walls, and slough channels. Exception example 1: If you wish to fish a boat dock next to a boat dock another team is fishing, and it falls inside the 50-yard parameter, you are allowed to fish it. In all cases please be courteous. Exception example 2: If you wish to fish in a slough channel that is longer than 50 yards, and there is another team fishing inside of it, you must continue pass them 50 YARDS before you can start fishing.
