 ament Scoring\n\n\nAt any time during the contest someone could catch and 
 enter a fish so the fixed points will not be known until the end of the co
 ntest. The goal is to get the most points by trying to catch the longest f
 ish in each category.  This makes each species equally important and prote
 cts the tournament from being dominated by one long catch.\n\nScoring Exam
 ple:\nWith 60 people entered points will be awarded 1 to 60 for each indiv
 idual category. The largest fish entered in each category would receive 60
  points and the smallest 1 point.  The top conceivable score would be 180 
 (60 points X 3 fish entered = 180) and only if the same person caught all 
 the largest fish in all categories and entered them first.\n \n\n\nRules a
 nd Regs\n\n\n\nAll catches must be submitted via TourneyX. The 3-digit ide
 ntifier code MUST be visible within your photo submission\, you can have t
 his code on a business card\, printed out\, written with a marker on the b
 ack of your hand or measuring board\, etc.\nCopy of the entry details will
  be posted to the web site in January 2024.\nAny Entry submitted without c
 omplete information will not be considered for entry.\nA picture of fish m

 2023.\nThe 3-digit tournament identifier code is required in each picture 
 with fish and MUST BE CLEARLY VISIBLE.  This 3-digit code will be availabl
 e on TourneyX January 31st at 5pm and be visible throughout the duration o
 f the event. Date/time of photo submission will be used as a tie breaker t
 o score same size entries.\nYou can upgrade as many times as needed during
  the contest.\nFish must be caught in any publicly accessible water in the
  state of Louisiana.\nThere are no size and/or 'slot' limit\, unless you p
 lan on keeping fish\, so bull redfish are eligible.\nArtificial and live b

   \nYou are allowed to wade fish or fish from the bank if you are fishing

  of a tie in an individual biggest fish category the advantage will be giv
 en to the fish submitted earliest (EX: a 20' trout caught on 3/23/23 trump
 s a 20' trout caught on 7/4/23). In the event of a tie in the overall stan
 dings the advantage will be given to the angler that has the highest ranke
 d 4th fish. Catching all 4 species isn't necessary to win overall but can 
 be the deciding factor in a tie. In the event a tie remains\, the advantag
 e will be given to the angler whose total aggregate length of ALL fish is 
 greatest. \n\n\n\n \nPhoto Submission Rules:\n\nThis fish must be photogra
 phed on an approved board:\n\nHawg Trough\nKetch Boards\nCheck-it Stick\n3

  the right and the belly of the fish facing the angler.\nThe fish must be 
 submitted in 0.25” increments.\nIf the tail is not obviously touching or c
 rossing a measurement line\, it will be rounded down to the next lower qua
 rter inch length.\nThe nose must be pressed up against the post of the mea
 suring device.  Please ensure that shadows do not obscure the nose and pos
 t.  If the judge cannot see that the nose is clearly up against the post\,
  the angler will face a 0.5” length deduction.\nFor trout\, flounder\, and
  bass\, the fish's mouth MUST be closed.  If the mouth is open\, it will b
 e a minimum deduction of 0.25'.  If the mouth is excessively open\, it may
  be more at the discretion of the judge.  Redfish do not have to have thei
 r mouths closed.\nYou may leave fish retaining devices in the fish's mouth
 \, but there will be a 0.5' deduction.  This deduction may be inclusive or
  in addition to the open mouth penalty at the judge's discretion.\nThe mou
 th\, eye\, and tail must be visible for the picture to be accepted\, with 
 the tail flat on the measuring board.\nThe top lobe of the tail of your fi
 sh must be inside the boundaries of your board.  If using a Check it stick

 jected. Appeals may be made to the tournament directors.\nFollowing comple
 tion of the tournament and awards ceremony\, anglers may make a formal wri
 tten request that their entry is deleted from TourneyX. Doing so will dele
