It might be hard for old school bass anglers to grasp, but there’s a bass tournament going on right now, in cyberspace. Anglers don’t show up for weigh-ins, they don’t even bring fish to the ramp.
They catch a fish from a kayak, take a photo of the fish, and release it.
Welcome to Tourney X.
In order to compete, kayak anglers must first sign up on the Tourney X website. Once registered, the angler can pick whichever tournament they want. Some events span days, some merely hours on a given lake, but versatility and technology make things more simplified.
Once the angler is logged in, he or she can register for any ongoing tournament. When registering for a tournament the angler is charged the amount the tournament director has setup.
Once registered for a tournament the angler will need to download the rules for that tournament.
By going to the tournament’s dashboard, anglers are able to submit a catch, cull a fish, view submissions, and view standings. If fishing a tourney on the water anglers can go to the website via smartphone, login with angler username and password, and upload your catch straight from the water.
For monthly tournaments, anglers who want to upload their catch from home using saved photos on a phone or SD card, can use a home-based computer to upload.
“We have used Tourney X for many of our tournaments,” said Kayak Bass Fishing and HOOK-1 Outfitter Chad Hoover. “The format is easy, simple to use and it makes hosting a tournament so much simpler and quicker to do registration and weigh-ins.”
