Dear Players,
We have some important information for those participating in the Independence Trout Open 2024. We received a few questions and want to clarify things for everyone.
Firstly, some players couldn't join the Tournament today because they couldn't find the Join button. Recent UI changes have altered its appearance. Please see the attached screenshot for a demonstration of the new layout. You can still participate in Q2 and Q3, and we hope this resolves any difficulties.
Secondly, there have been changes to some Tournament conditions compared to last year. This time, only spinning and casting rod setups can be used in the Tournament. In the Tackle Types section, we listed Barbless Jig Heads, Barbless Hooks, Barbless Spoons, and Barbless Spinners. Some players pointed out that Barbless Hooks can't be used with Spinning and Casting Rods. You are correct, and we apologize for this mistake. We will correct it in the next tournament. Unfortunately, we can't change it now, as any adjustments would require extensive testing by our QA team. Thank you for your understanding.
Additionally, with the Ocean Update, saltwater rods were added to the game. Please ensure you distinguish between casting rods and saltwater casting rods, and spinning rods and saltwater spinning rods, to meet the competition or tournament requirements and choose the correct setup.
We hope this clarifies your questions, but if you still have concerns, please contact us at [email protected] or in our official social media channels.
Thank you, and good luck in the Independence Trout Open!
