I don't know if that determination has been made or not. That's something Fisheries will probably decide on with input from Boating. I'll do some checking and see what I can find out.
UPDATE:
From Fisheries Division:
Tournament use of state boat launches is limited to 50% of the parking capacity (typically found in the Boater’s Guide). The capacity at our new launch on Bantam Lake is scheduled to be 20 spots, so bass tournaments using the “Beverly’s” launch would be limited to 10 trailered boats at most.
Note that for most water bodies, exceptions are often made for off-season, weekday and some night tournaments (always less than 100%, room must always be left for other users). The Boating Division reviews all requests for use of more than 50% of the launch capacity. Use, however, of the two state launches at Candlewood Lake is always limited to 50% or less, and we’ll be doing the same at Bantam Lake (no exceptions to the 50% limit).
