Calcutta Rules and Format

 I will ALSO be accepting Classic Entry Fees AFTER the Tournament in September. This will speed the Calcutta up and also help you by NOT having to mail in a check.

Also, IF you want to pay for the full 2025 Year and be in the Top Boat Number Lottery, I will ALSO be taking those After the Istokpoga Tournament (Or you can wait until Calcutta)

Important to know:
BRING MORE THAN ONE CHECK!
You will NOT be able to combine Calcutta, Classic fee or 2025 Trail (# Lottery) on one check.
We will only accept a check for EACH thing you are paying for. (This keeps it WAY easier on the BOOKS!
Spread the word to those teams you know that do not have FB.
Cash is always fine too!

Frequently asked questions

If you need help, we have a list of frequently asked questions and answers. We strive to give you the best buying experience possible. Click a question below to view the answer.
1. What time is Weigh-in?

ALL weigh-ins are 2pm (Even for the Classic)

2. Can I pay for a Tournament online or with Credit Card?

No, (since it is a 100% payback trail) we do NOT take credit cards or online payments. You can pay by Check, Money Order or Cash.

3. How dare the Boat numbers assigned?

IF you pay for the whole year before Thanksgiving (before the season starts) you will be placed in a Lottery where we will draw those teams for boat numbers for the whole year (month by Month). Example, you could get boat 5 one month but be boat 14 the next, it all depends on the drawing.

After that, when you pay for a tournament, you will get the next available boat number.

4. What is the LATE rule?

You MUST be in the Basin by 2pm for weigh-in. Otherwise it is 1lb per Minute penalty (DQ after 15 minutes)

 

5. What if there is a Hurricane coming or real bad weather?

For a Hurricane, we will keep you posted via the Website and/or FB page. Unless the storm is going to hit while we are fishing or just AFTER the Tournament, chances are we are going to fish. (If you do NOT feel safe DO NOT FISH). 

As with any major storms, Wind, Rain or Cold...  we usually will NOT cancel a tournemtn unless it is absolutely necessary. 

6. What if I sent my money in by mail a day before but didn't get there in time?

If we did not get your entry fee by Noon the Friday before the Tournament, you will NOT fish.

It is up to you to pay on time. Send it in EARLY to make sure it gets to us on time.

There are no refunds/rollovers after 12 noon Friday before the Tournament (But you will get credit for the Tournament)
