The IHSA has conducted the blind draw for release numbers for each of the qualifying boats in this year's state finals. The Saturday release will be in the reverse order of Friday's release. In other words, the last boat to be released on Friday will be the first boat released on Saturday.
We want to inform each school about a special partnership the IHSA has formed with Mustang Survival, the provider of the "Official Life Jacket of the IHSA." As a part of that partnership, Mustang Survival has provided life jackets for competitors to wear while fishing. Life jackets will be distributed on the pre-fish day for the tournament, and schools will return them on Saturday prior to weigh-ins. Schools will be charged for failure to return their jackets on Saturday. Schools should bring back-ups for the weekend as a safety precaution.
Each qualifying boat will be identified through the use of two sets of vinyl decals. These decals will be placed on the bow of each boat and will replace the flag that has been used in previous years. Schools will be required to display these decals for the entire tournament in the area identified by tournament management.
