Start of Bassmaster Classic delayed

All activities at the Green Pond Event facility as part of this weekend’s GEICO Bassmaster Classic on Lake Hartwell are being delayed until after daylight today—including the launch which now has been moved back to about 8:30 this morning. Tournament officials announced the decision yesterday, in consultation with Anderson County public safety officials concerned that the extreme temperatures may make surfaces at the landing icy. This morning’s delay applies only to today’s competition.
