Entering the Game/Making Picks
In order to participate in the Game, participants must, during the Game Entry Period: (i) go to the MLF Site; (ii) if not already, register for and sign-up to your account; (iii) manually complete the entry form by predicting the ten (10) anglers who will catch the highest cumulative weight of scorable fish during the Tournament based on the criteria outlined below; (iv) answer the tie-breaker question(s) if any; and (v) hit the submit button to save your entry form (and answers) and accept the Official Rules.

PLEASE NOTE: You must hit the submit button every time you make a change to your answers, otherwise your new answer(s)/pick(s) will not override your previous pick(s). If you change your answers at any time during the Game Period, your Official Entry Time will update accordingly to match the most recent time you hit the submit button. On rare occasion there may be an angler who drops from the Tournament and/or is replaced by another angler.

PLEASE NOTE: You must hit the submit button every time you make a change to your answers, otherwise your new answer(s)/pick(s) will not override your previous pick(s). If you change your answers at any time during the Game Period, your Official Entry Time will update accordingly to match the most recent time you hit the submit button.

Entering the Game/Making Picks
In order to participate in the Game, participants must, during the Game Entry Period: (i) go to the MLF Site; (ii) if not already, register for and sign-up to your account; (iii) manually complete the entry form by predicting the ten (10) anglers who will catch the highest cumulative weight of scorable fish during the Tournament based on the criteria outlined below; (iv) answer the tie-breaker question(s) if any; and (v) hit the submit button to save your entry form (and answers) and accept the Official Rules. The time at which the participant completes these actions as determined by MLF will be considered the participant’s official entry time (‘Official Entry Time”).
PLEASE NOTE: You must hit the submit button every time you make a change to your answers, otherwise your new answer(s)/pick(s) will not override your previous pick(s). If you change your answers at any time during the Game Period, your Official Entry Time will update accordingly to match the most recent time you hit the submit button. On rare occasion there may be an angler who drops from the Tournament and/or is replaced by another angler. Administrator will use best efforts to communicate these change(s) within the Build My Teams portion of the Game and via email to participants who have picked the dropped angler.

The total weight of fish caught by these (10) anglers during the Tournament according to the official Tackle Warehouse Invitationals rules (https://majorleaguefishing.com/circuits/invitationals/rules/) will determine a participant’s final score for the Game.

Either party may, notwithstanding this provision, bring qualifying claims in small claims court.
