The Rule Is Simple
At tournaments designated as NON-FFS events, forward-facing sonar is prohibited during official competition. All teams are responsible for understanding and complying with the TuffMan Series NON-FFS procedures below.
1. What’s Prohibited
Forward-facing sonar is prohibited during official competition.
Includes, but is not limited to:
- Garmin LiveScope
- Lowrance ActiveTarget
- Humminbird MEGA Live
- Any similar or successor technology
The prohibition applies to every operating mode, including:
- Forward
- Down
- Perspective
- 360
- Similar live-view modes
2. Disclose, Disconnect & Secure
Every team must disclose all forward-facing equipment installed or carried in its boat.
Before launching, all prohibited transducers must be:
- Removed
- OR disconnected and secured
Any disconnected prohibited transducer must be secured with a TuffMan Series-approved serialized locking device or tamper-evident seal.
No portable, spare or replacement forward-facing transducer may be carried in the boat during competition.
3. Inspections & Verification
Tournament officials may inspect any boat or equipment:
- Before competition
- During competition
- After competition
Officials may photograph equipment, conduct random on-water inspections, place an observer or recording device in a competitor’s boat, or follow a competitor with an official observation boat.
4. Seal Responsibility
Each team is responsible for protecting its assigned seal or locking device.
If a seal or locking device is accidentally damaged, the team must immediately:
- Stop fishing
- Notify the Tournament Director
- Leave the equipment untouched until instructed by an official
A broken, missing, altered or mismatched seal that was not immediately reported will result in DISQUALIFICATION.
