SK Summer Walleye League Rules/ Terms and Conditions

Welcome to LiveFL! League registration is currently open for the entire duration of the league, providing you with the flexibility to join at your convenience. Upon completing your registration and entering the league, your certified reference measuring card will be promptly mailed to you. We highly recommend early registration to ensure you have this essential tool well in advance of the league start date and your fishing schedule.

Please note that only one certified reference measuring card will be mailed to you for all the 2024 Summer leagues. Make the most of this single card across all your registered 2024 Summer leagues. Additionally, in accordance with rule #55, entrants are eligible to use another entrant's certified reference measuring card for submissions until they receive their own.

Should your certified reference measuring card be lost or damaged, participants can request a replacement by contacting support@livefishingleague.com.
