2020 Tournament Process Changes

Fishers and Patrons of the Texas Trio Classic,


It’s hard to believe it’s October already and our tournament is fast approaching! All of us here at the TTC are excited to see everyone and to continue our tradition of hosting this tournament for great causes in and around our community. This year we’ve had to make a few changes to the schedule and regular events to ensure the health and safety of all in attendance. In addition to the bullet points below, we encourage everyone to protect yourselves and respect the health of others at all times by maintaining appropriate social distancing guidelines.

Patrons:

  • This year we will not be hosting the Thursday night dinner during check-in.

  • There will be no live auction, however, tournament merchandise will still be available for purchase during the weigh-ins

  • On Friday Lazy R BBQ will be serving and on Saturday we’ll have Come and Taste It BBQ - so make sure you come hungry and support these two great local businesses!

  • Both weigh-ins on Friday and Saturday will be open to the public

  • The award ceremony will be Saturday immediately following the Open division weigh-in, and is open to the public

Fishers:

  • Artificial fishes on Friday and Open fishes on Saturday

  • Check-in will be Thursday night (October 22nd) at the Pavilion from 5 PM to 7 PM. Only one member from each team is required, but ALL TEAMS must check-in during this time to receive your tournament packet.

  • Since Artificial and Open are fishing on separate days, we will be releasing boats from the harbor starting at 7 AM on the day your division fishes. As in years past, you will still be released in order according to your team number, and your entire team must be present with ID’s to sign in prior to your boat being released.

  • Weigh-in is from 3 PM to 4:30 PM. You must be in line by 4:30 PM with your fish to weigh-in.

  • Lie Detector Tests will be administered both days for those teams who place.
    IMPORTANT:
    Friday teams who place must not leave before having their lie detector test administered. After your lie detector test, you are free to leave.

  • Awards for both the Artificial and Open divisions will be held after weigh-in on Saturday

Quick Notes for Captains:

  • Someone from your team must pick up the tournament packet between 5 PM and 7 PM on Thursday, October 22nd

  • Your entire team must be present with ID’s in the Harbor to sign-in starting at 7 AM on the day of your tournament

  • Weigh-in is from 3 PM to 4:30 PM both days and you must be in line with your fish by 4:30 to weigh-in

  • Lie detector tests will be required for teams who place and will be administered both days. DO NOT LEAVE THE HARBOR if you place in either tournament before you have had your lie detector test.

  • The award ceremony is Saturday after the weigh-in

Thanks, everyone, and we look forward to hosting you at the Texas Trio Classic!
