SIMPLY FISHING 2015 REPORT?

You asked, received a reply, and then try to refute it, but then say you dont want to debate to the end of changing your mind? If two people are on one kayak, then not all anglers are on "A" kayak. It is not a tandem kayak tournament.  If it's not clear enough, or if you have an issue you wish to take up with the event organizer, do it via PM.

Maybe try a different approach instead of objecting/challenging the rules. Try asking if anyone was has any extra/buddy boats they could loan you. I'm sure plenty of guys would be willing to bring out there loaners.

I am out, the family and I will be away that weekend. This is still one of my favorite events. Thank you Ruben for the time and effort you put into this event. Even though it appears simple, I know it isn't.

can I bring my peddles with me in case I want to help other out? Can I use my fish finder only to find my way home if I get lost? If I bring another pole with but only want to use it as showing I am cool is that ok? What does "Simply" mean ,And does it refer to a brand of lures or just a state of mind?

I do not see how you can write that and not understand how your own grammar destroys your own argument.  You write "If two people are on one kayak, then not all anglers are on "A" kayak".....Do you not see how if two people are on one kayak then they are INDEED on "A" kayak.  I mean, what do you think they are on...air?...a car?...a really big fish?....nope they are on "A" tandem kayak which by definition is...A KAYAK.  This was the only point I was trying to make.

My apologies to everyone.  I still stand by that I was not debating to the end of changing the rules or getting in to the tourney with two people on a tandem.  What started off as an innocent inquiry turned into me getting offended at AlsHobieOutback's remark "Think it's fairly "simple", and spelled out in the rules".  Instead I got caught up in trying to show how the wording of the rules actually does not prohibit two people on a tandem, and how it is not ""simple", and spelled out in the rules."

AlsHobieOutback, you are correct, after I got the answer to my original question I should have send a PM to the host pointing out the small, but never the less confusing loop whole.  I could have avoided all of this.

You guys are just parsing words at this point. The person who organizes the event is like Vince McMahon, the Commissioner. They get to set the rules, change the rules, or disqualify participants. Or whatever else they want to do. These things aren't run by NCKA or Bass Pro Shops or Brawndo. If somebody wants to start their own event/tourney, they are free to do so.

But I totally get where FishnZombi is coming from. It's a valid question. However...go back and look at threads from previous iterations of this event, and you'll see people offering to loan out paddle yaks to the plethora of pedal-yakking complainers. Because people on this site are crazy generous. Seriously, all you have to do is say "Hey guys, can I borrow a kayak for a buddy who normally fishes with me on my tandem? Because we would both like to participate in the tourney." 

Also, people here are quick to forgive. So don't feel like you've alienated yourself or pissed everybody off, due to questioning tourney rules on the net. Just get over it and move on. Easy peasy.

Very well said Pat!! You rock!

You guys are confusing me. Can I use my fishfinder while peddling out on a tandem or not?

Well sorry my reply wasn't grammatically correct.  I was trying to be funny, but I guess I failed. Maybe you should question why even states in the rules "a kayak"? My guess would be to keep people from asking if they can fish in a boat, or off a SUP or can they just dive in and shoot fish instead?  You have to draw the line somewhere, don't you?
