📣 RULES REMINDER

Anglers, captains, and team admins are responsible for reading and understanding the complete THSBA rules before participating in a tournament.

Several important requirements are missed each season. Please pay close attention to:

🎣 Fishing license requirements
🛥️ Boat insurance requirements
💺 Approved seating locations
🚫 Tournament off-limits areas

Do not wait until tournament week to review the rules. Taking a few minutes now can help prevent confusion, penalties, or disqualification later.

Please make sure everyone involved with your team has read the current 2026–2027 THSBA rules. If you have questions, contact THSBA before the tournament.

🎣 TOURNAMENT SIGN-UP DETAILS

Before registering for a tournament, all anglers and boat captains must have a completed and active profile.

🔴 CHECK YOUR PROFILE

If you see red lettering in your profile details, an item still needs to be completed. You will not appear as an available angler or boat captain until all requirements are finished.

✅ HOW TO REGISTER

Only ONE angler should register the team. During registration, that angler will select:

• Their fishing partner, if applicable
• Their boat captain
• The tournament they want to enter

THSBA allows both solo anglers and two-angler teams.

📍 SELECT THE CORRECT TOURNAMENT

THSBA has nine divisions across Texas, and multiple divisions may fish the same lake on different dates. Sort the tournaments by your division in the App before registering to ensure you select the correct event.

Need help with the registration process? Visit the How-To section of the THSBA website for a tournament sign-up video.

• To captain at a THSBA Regional Championship or State Championship, you must have served as a Boat Captain in at least one THSBA Open Tournament during the current school year.

📱 Complete your Boat Captain Profile through the THSBA App.

🛡️ SafeSport certification details can be found under the Background section of the THSBA website.

📖 These are some of the primary requirements. For the complete list of eligibility requirements, exceptions, and responsibilities, please review the 2026-2027 THSBA Rules before registering.

📢 2026–2027 THSBA RULES ARE NOW AVAILABLE

The official 2026–2027 THSBA Rules have been posted on the THSBA website!

Very few changes were made from last season, but it is important that all anglers and boat captains read and understand the rules before the season begins.

When setting up your season profile and signing the Release of Liability, each angler and boat captain agrees that they have read, understand, and will follow the THSBA Rules.

🟨 WHAT CHANGED?
Anything highlighted in the Rules PDF identifies a change or update from last season that you should review.

🎣 KEY UPDATES FOR 2026–2027

1️⃣ Tournament Entry Fee: $85
Tournament entry fees are now $85, a $10 increase per angler. Anglers will see that additional funding returned through increased scholarships offered at our Championship events.

2️⃣ Regional Championship Qualification: Top 45%
The top 45% of AOY teams in each division will now advance to their Regional Championship. This is a 5% increase from last season.

There is no change to the percentage advancing from Regionals to the State Championship.

3️⃣ All 5 Regular Season Events Count Toward AOY
The previous “drop your lowest tournament” format has been removed.

For 2026–2027, Angler of the Year standings will be calculated using all 5 regular season events.

⚠️ KNOW THE RULES

These are only a few of the key updates. Every angler and boat captain is responsible for knowing and following the complete THSBA Rules.

Before you hit the water this season, read the rules, review the highlighted changes, and know them!
