NM75 ... that would make sense, but I'm not a CUSA member and only quoted from the rules listed on their website link. The info about the poly question was from one of the participants (a well known Crappie.com member) as told to another member (close friend of mine).

Suffice it to say, that the whole deal may never be divulged ... so all we can do is speculate. And if the "filletfetish" info is correct, then it was the right call IMHO. When I ran Crappie.com tourneys down in Tenn, back in 2000-2005, I had to DQ some participants and it wasn't an easy thing to do ... but, it was a unanimous vote among the committee of judges, so it had to be done, even though the DQ'd parties were "friends/acquaintances" of many of the other team members.
