to the Federation
Member Boat Insurance: BASS has required all of their tournament boaters to increase the Liability limits on their Boat Insurance Policies from $100,000 to $300,000. It is recommended NCBF members do the same.
Life Vest Issues: BASS requires Type 4 life jackets (like the Suspenders) be worn at all times while in a boat verses the Type 3 (standard fishing type life jacket) which can be removed when the combustion engine is not running. In addition to keeping the Type 4 on at all times, BASS requires a boater to have a Type 3 life jacket on board the vessel in the event that the Type 4 fails to operate.
2005 Participation
Roster: At the suggestion of our members, Chuck Hartzman has developed a
roster of participating members to be posted on the website. The purpose is to
allow a member to see if they have completed their required volunteerism to
remain in good standing. We all are required to do 2 projects, 2 tournaments
(for the state team), and 1 membership meeting annually. That roster has been
completed and will be posted later this month.
Tim Cameron has developed the 2005 State Team standings as of Sunday, August 14th. The two sets of records will be merged to establish a final State Team before the December Executive Board meeting. The standings will be upgraded after each NCBF event, i.e., meetings, projects and the Open Tournament on October 1st.
