Clubs are grassroots, meaning what your club does (i.e. meetings, club tournaments, etc.), and how (i.e. when? where? Etc.) is all up to you.
State level operations, activities, tournaments, etc. are governed by Maryland Bass Nation Bylaws and Standing Rules. Documents can be found on our website ‘resources’ page. Please be patient as we incorporate the MBN Kayak Division guidelines into our Standing Rules document.
