What is up with all the EEF 'unwritten' rules, and secret disqualifications?!?!?!?
First we here that someone gets disqualified for breaking not one, but TWO rules, but then we are told -
About the guy who was disqualified, he probably doesn't want his errors to be broadcast. I think this was his first EEF tournament, and he messed up on a couple of points in the rules.
WTF?!?!?
If someone is DQ'ed you CANNOT just sweep it under the rug and say - oh he was just a first timer, ya'll don't worry about it.
Then we hear that his fish may have been winning or placing fish?!?
This needs to be clarified NOW, and this better not be one of those 'un-written' rules that was broken.
Rumor has it, that one of the broken rules was that he kept his fish. Back at the December event, there was a rule 'Clarification' that said you could keep your fish, if you wanted, but you were encouraged to release them. If this was changed, was this announced in the Captains meeting the night before? I know it was not talked about on this or several other boards with lots of EEF talk. Or was this another 'Unwritten' rule change/clarification?
As someone who is sitting on the fence about entering future EFF events, this, and all the hoopla before the event about 'unwritten' rules goes a long way to make me NOT want to participate in any future events.
Great way to promote the tournament, guys.
