Default Re: 2011 Tournament Schedule and Rules

Iceman,

As a one time BassPro pro/am fisherman and member of the old Plastic Navy tourneys, sometimes placing top ten out of 100-120 boats, I suggest (for future tourneys, including OEX and Southwind) that payouts go to top ten--maybe reducing the top $1000 to do so. This might spur a more entries, if advertised paying to top ten. Even if the 5th-10th don't win a lot of money, but at least the entry fee plus some, it is a kick to be called up into the top group.
While schmucks like me are not likely to beat you, Gilbert, Nancy and a handful of others who often place top five, us schmucks believe we can at least beat the other schmucks--so consder paying out to top ten to keep us feeling like we are in the game! Just a suggestion to help maintain the sport.
I think you did this in the last OEX tourney at SD Bay, but wanted to encourage you to continue to do so--and advertise those payouts as well.
