Knot Longevity

The postponed Oceanside Tourney leads me to ask a weird question. How long does a fishing line knot hold it's strength? (Assuming it's a well tied knot of course.) Does a fishing line knot lose it's strength and reliability over time? I'm talking about the knot itself, not normal line deterioration or aging. If I tied a knot the night before a tournament and it was canceled, could I still count on that knot one week later? Two weeks? I just wonder if anybody has thought about this.
