1. These rules may be changed by RMMC Series at any time. Rule changes will be effective immediately upon notice by RMMC Series, which notice may be published at www.rmmcseries.com. Interpretation and enforcement of these rules shall be left exclusively to the Tournament Director or designee at a tournament. In the event of a rule(s) violation, RMMC Series will impose such sanctions, as deemed appropriate, including, without limitation, disqualification, forfeiture of prizes and/or entry fee, probation and prohibition from participation in subsequent tournaments. The decision will be final in all matters. Each competitor agrees to immediately report to the Tournament Director any violation or infraction of any Tournament Rule(s). Failure to report violations, or suggestions to another competitor that they violated these rules, will be cause for disqualification. All protests must be reported to the Tournament Director on site and in writing within 15 minutes after the announcement “the scales are closed”.
2. Membership: There will be a one-time membership of $50.00 per team per season.
3. Participation and Eligibility: (Amended 2024 season) This is a TEAM TOURNAMENT,
NO FISHING ALONE. To qualify for the championship, the team must fish 3 of 4 qualifiers, or at least two with the same partner. The third tournament can be fished with an alternate, the alternate does not need to be listed prior to start of season but needs to be identified before qualifying tournament begins. “Fished” will be considered as one of the competitors coming through boat check. If for some unforeseen reason an angler of the same team cannot fish the championship they may choose an alternate of their choice. The alternate will be required to pay a $50.00 membership fee in order to fish. Roland Martin Marine Center Series reserves the right to refuse participation and membership in any and all events to any individual or team at the discretion of the Tournament Director.
4. Insurance: Liability insurance with coverage of not less than $100,000 per occurrence is required of all boater/captain in RMMC Series tournaments. Proof of insurance must be with the boat being used and must cover all passengers on the boat. Random checks will be conducted. Failure to provide proof of insurance when requested by the tournament director may result in disqualification.

Remember to measure fish with a closed mouth and pinched tail using The Golden Rule. No culling fish live or dead at Ramp or Weigh In. Every effort must be made to keep bass alive through the use of a properly aerated live well. Eight ounces will be deducted from the total weight for each dead bass presented for weigh-in.
