If a team splits up during the season, the club will split their current point totals (both types of points).

Anybody that has not recently been an active member in the club must pay their membership fee 30 days prior to fishing in a tournament.  Prior to the first tournament of each season, the person trying to join must pay enough for that tournament and another club tournament along with their membership dues.  NO EXCEPTION

A guest can fish a tournament without waiting the 30 days, IF they are fishing with a current member.  They are required to pay their membership before fishing, and this will result in a new membership and the collective points of that tournament will be split between each other.  

Guides and or Pro Fishermen are ineligible to join, or fish with the club.
