| The 2020 No Rules Tourney is canceled due to Covid-19 |
The outdoors calendar continues to evolve due to the COVID-19 social distancing guidelines. The biggest news came last week when local beaches discontinued checkpoints and opened up for weekend visitors, just in time for the arrival of the Memorial Day holiday weekend. Two cancellations for the weekend of May 30 includes the No Rules fishing tourney out of Bennett’s Point, and the Cookin’ On The Creek BBQ event at Edisto. Large gatherings of people are not likely in the immediate future, but other than that the official start of the summer season is here.

Tournament fishing that requires a single checkpoint for meetings and weigh-ins are suffering under the COVID-19 crisis. The No Rues Fishing Tourney out of Bennett’s Point landing planned on fishing May 30 but was cancelled during a May 16 announcement. While disappointed that they could not hold their event, the B and B seafood business is staying open seven days a week to sell fresh shrimp and seafood to loyal customers. The No Rules tourney is special to the Colleton community because it brings avid anglers together to celebrate the sport of fishing, with music, food and fellowship. With 20 years of history, the No Rules crew plans to continue their traditions in the future.
Sports that take place outdoors dipped their proverbial toes in the water last weekend with NASCAR racing in Darlington, and pro golf teeing it up in Florida. Why was Darlington the first NASCAR event? The racing teams are based in Charlotte, and Darlington is only a day-trip away for everyone involved with a racing team, adhering to the stay close to home formula. No fans were allowed at the race, but the made for TV sporting event drew lots of virtual cheers across the Southeast.
