If you'll read the rules, it states "The decision to fish is solely the captain’s choice. All anglers fish at their own discretion and risk. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Tournament committee shall have the sole discretion to cancel the Tournament for (hurricanes, tropical storms, small craft advisories, etc.) In the event a small craft advisory is in effect during tournament fishing hours, the tournament will be postponed and rescheduled on the first available date. If the tournament is postponed, a captain's meeting (which will allow for angler substitutions and additional entries) will be held at Kevin's Fine Outdoor Gear & Apparel on the Wednesday prior to the rescheduled tournament date.
Pretty clear & straight forward. Read the rules ahead of time and you have no reason to complain later. Brain is not in charge of the what the weather forecasters put out.
Did I fish anyway? Yes. Was it a true SCA? No. Were the rules followed? Yes.
