I fish in the Ocean City, NJ White Marlin Open every year. They are very strict about the rules. They should have checked this prior to fishing. Bad luck!

The captain of the boat/team manager should have known and thought to _verify_ this days before and not just on the day of the event.
Stuff like this is SOP for any team sport where registration and/or licensing is required. Nevermind for a dollar value prize as big and important to the participants as this!
Not bad luck, bad planning and management.
IMHO the boat captain/team manager holds ultimate responsibility and by that blame for this error.

To paraphrase a little tidbit I took to heart in OCS - the leader is responsible for everything that his team does or fails to do. Sometimes that's an expensive lesson to learn...
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands - love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper - his hands remember the rifle.
