Under 230(f) you are charged with not having each person in the Tournament have in their possession a copy of the Special Conditions of your permit. Did you have a exemption for 12" fish, 5 fish bag where the regular bag is less, a special rule that DFG imposed or anything like that? If so, every contestant needs to have a copy of the permit so the warden knows they are in the tournament.

You can go to http://www.dfg.ca.gov and look around for the Title 14 CCR regs (maybe somewhere else, I'm not sure) for Section 230(f) for specific wording.

Most wardens are fairly lax on tournament rules, but evidently you did something (s)he felt was worthy of a citation.

Good luck in court. Be sure to take a copy of your permit.
