tournament fishing days. Pre-fishing with a guide is allowed. Likewise, Yamaha Professional Kingfish Tour Championship teams may not add
members to their team who possess local knowledge or who would create an unfair advantage against the other teams competing.

each day's fishing. It will be a two-day event, with the site being the same as that of the SKA National Championship. This year it will
