Can rod be picked up at weigh in site ?

When?

[OBBT Staff]

Anytime you can find one of our staff there during the tournament. If you're waiting until the event to pick them up understand that it may take a little longer to get your rod as we are normally pretty busy running the event.

Is it true that your text message communication system does not work for your Sprint cell phone participants? If so why didn't you get that fixed?? Not good

First things first, it isn't "our" text system. It's delivered by a third party. At every event there are about 5% of the texts that get blocked by the carriers (beyond our control). Sprint tends to be the worst but it's certainly not isolated to Sprint. Our text system is an added value that's provided as a courtesy to our anglers to provide hourly updates. We aren't obligated to provide it and the service works perfectly for 95% of the anglers in our event. We also have an android/iPhone app that anglers can download for free and our website is updated in real time as well during the event on our leaderboard.

If you're in need of data at our events there's no shortage of ways to get it. In fact I don't know of another trail in the country that goes farther to keep our anglers in the loop hourly.

Thanks for your comments.
