Joey good points. Actually heard it was the Coast Guard who forced their hand so if that's right quite possibly the decision was forced on them. Either way, it did cause a lot of angst to people making prepartions to fish. Maybe fluke tournaments should follow the lead of what billfish tournament do, choose 3 out of 5 days but for fluke tournments choose 1 out of 3 days anglers choice, Friday though Sunday. Not a perfect option since it would add some issues but would certainly help address weather issues like today and prevent decisions being made for the wrong reasons.
