Guest Rule
• Teams may invite guests to fish in our regular tournaments.
• TEAMS ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE ONE (1) FREE GUEST PER SEASON. ALL OTHER FISHING PARTNERS MUST
PURCHASE A MEMBERSHIP. (Your 1st Guest of the Season is on MCC, all remaining Guests must purchase a
membership.)
• There is no limit to the number of guests a team can use during the regular season.
• No guest may fish the State Championship event unless a special exemption is granted by the MCC Board.
Teams must declare who the "regular" partners are before the end of the weigh-in of the last regular
tournament for the season.

Weigh-in Rules
• At least one team member must be in the weigh-in line with no more than 7 live crappies caught by the
tournament team on tournament day in a container by the Weigh-In Deadline for that tournament.
• You must have your Big Fish tagged with the zip-tie, provided to you with your weigh-in ticket, before
you get your fish checked.
• If you have no fish to weigh, turn in your weigh-in ticket to the secretary by the Weigh-In Deadline, and you will
receive 75 points for participation in the tournament.
• Teams that have not turned in weigh-in tickets by the Weigh-In Deadline will be declared late and receive 50
points only for entering.

• Fish will be checked as soon as the proper tournament officials are ready to receive teams at the Check
Station. You are advised to keep your fish in your live well or aerated cooler until the tournament officials are
ready.
• The weigh-in will begin as soon as the equipment is ready and a weigh-in line is established.
• Fish must be kept alive until they have been checked and your weigh-in ticket signed by the tournament
official.
Weigh-in Rules
• Teams will be allowed to weigh-in a maximum of 2 dead fish with a 0.25-pound penalty for each dead
fish weighed. This penalty also applies to your Big Fish if dead when checked.
• There is no penalty for any fish that die once they have been checked by the tournament official.
• Dead fish must be in fresh condition. It is still the Tournament Director's discretion to throw out any
questionable fish.
• Dead fish must be noted on your weigh-in ticket when checked.
• Any additional dead fish will be thrown out and you will weigh your remaining fish.
• Fish will be checked only once. Whatever fish you present to the tournament official is final.
• Teams WILL have no form of ice or bait, minnows, jigs, etc., in the container when the container is handed to
the weigh-in crew.
• If ice, bait, or any objects other than legal crappie are present when presented to the weigh-in crew, that team
will be (MOVED TO THE BACK OF THE LINE) and weighed last after they have removed objects in question
from the container.
• Fish will be weighed only one time.
• Fish judged by the Tournament Director or Weigh-Master that are under 10 inches (or not over 12 inches on
some COE Lakes) are considered to be SHORT FISH.
• Illegal (undersized "short fish") or more than 7 fish presented to the weigh team, the team will be disqualified.
• Disqualified teams will receive NO POINTS AWARDED.

POLYGRAPH:
• By your participation in an MCC tournament, you agree to comply with the rules and agree to submit to and
pass a polygraph test or similar truth test in order to qualify for the receipt of any prize.
• MCC shall have the right to polygraph any competing team.
• A team member who failed to pass a polygraph or whose condition does not permit the administration of a
test will be disqualified.
