The draw format works like this for the Midweek Draw Trail:

• Everyone (boaters and non-boaters) register in the morning.
• As the boaters register, they pull a number. We then take that number and put it in a different bin.
• When registration is closed, then we bring up all the non-boaters who already registered (Non-boaters, be early, 1st Come, 1st Serve).
• Non-boaters then draw a number from the bin that the boaters already drew.
• Then that non-boater hooks up with the same boater who also drew that number.
• If a boater's number does not get picked, then he fishes by himself.
• That number is also their launch number.

The draw format works like this for the Club Draw Trail:

• Same as above but boaters are allowed to fish with their own non-boaters.

Everybody fishes for their OWN fish and pays for their OWN way. Tournament Fees are as follows;

1. Club Draw Trail - $10 for the tournament fee and $10 split lunker. 100% Payback to top 3 anglers (1 time annual membership fee of $20, anyone can join)
2. Midweek Draw Trail - $40 for the tournament fee and $10 split lunker. 90% Payback on sliding scale for # of boats (Membership fee not required)
3. Team Bubba Trail - $50 for the tournament fee and $10 split lunker. 90% Payback on sliding scale for # of boats (Membership fee not required)

Non-boaters are also expected to follow etiquette and tip the boater for gas money. This is usually anywhere from $0 to $10. This is up to the boater and non-boater.
