4.    Plus $10.00 per boat during the regular season goes to the classic pay-off fund.  

5.    The team that fishes the classic must only include a two-person combination of the captain, partner and alternate for each day.  All 3 anglers must have paid an annual registration and fished in at least one regular season tournament for the year.  No other angler from other teams may be combined to form a new team for the classic.  If a combination of captain, partner and alternate is used the team entry fee will be an extra $50 for the third person, bringing the team total fee to $180 instead of $130.
