The largest highest paying tournament out there is the BASS Tournament Trail.
Do you know what one of the rules are?
The tournament waters shall be off-limits to all Pro contestants 30 days prior to the first practice day in all Elite Series, Bassmaster Majors, and Bassmaster Classic events unless otherwise notified by BASS. During the 30 day off limits periods, other than using publicly-available information (e.g. newspaper and Internet reports) Pro competitors cannot solicit, receive, or gather any information via phone, electronic devices, or any other means about locating or catching fish on tournament waters. THERE SHALL BE NO EXCEPTIONS. For a first offense, the competitor will be disqualified from the tournament. For a second offense, the competitor will lose his eligibility for the following year's Elite Series events. During practice and competition Pro anglers cannot solicit, receive, or gather any information from co-angler contestants in the tournament. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Now if you want a rule that can not be enforced, how about that one? If I was fishing this tournament and wanted to cheat, I could hop in a small boat and launch anywhere on the lake.
Who would ever know?? This is in a Tournament series that pays out millions of $$
Talk about UNENFORCEABLE
BUT IT IS THE RULE! PERIOD!!
Here is another rule they have:
During the official competition days of the tournament, a competitor may not use a CB radio, a VHF marine-band radio, a cellular phone, or any other type of communication device.
Maybe someone should tell BASS their rules are unenforceable.
