DVFD reserves the right to refuse entry to any team or team member who has displayed the above mentioned sportsmanship like behavior. The rules are set out for the benefit of all participants to ensure everyone has equal opportunity for a great hunt and the chance at willing the tournament. Each coyote will be examined at check-in and all rules will be strongly enforced. Core temperatures, time of kill, and sequence will be checked on all coyotes checked-in. properly filled out blocks is imperative. We will have a large pool of coyotes to compare temperatures and times with, you should expect your animals to fall within those ranges the tournament officials will have sole discretion of disallowing the coyote in question, violating the tournament rules of the laws of the state can lead to that team’s removal from tournament and depending on the situation the local authorities may be notified. Trapping, snaring, live trapping, shooting coyotes the night before, shooting them from a vehicle or trying to take a coyote in any way that would jeopardize the integrity of the tournament will not be tolerated and you will be removed from the tournament immediately. Anything questionable will be up to the discretion of the tournament official to determine if a coyote will be allowed or disallowed. It is the burden of the tournament participant to follow the rules and to turn in coyotes that do not appear to be taken outside what is allowed by the rules. Meaning that if your team turns in four coyotes that two of them are blocked incorrectly based on times and temperatures that the ones in question will be disallowed. If you turn in coyotes that all have dry bladders and an empty colon you may have a problem convincing anyone they were taken legally. The tournament officials do not need to see you running them down and explaining what happened will not help if every indication points towards you running them down with a snowmobile. The burden is on the hunter to prove that the coyote was taken as per tournament rule not the officials.  Please sign that you have read the rules and understand them. At least one member of each team must sign prior to receiving balls.Sign _______________________________________date_____________________Sign _______________________________________date_____________________Dec2018Drake V</blockquote>
