Level playing field would and sounds great, although with some lakes in Florida,
expecially Crescent and possibily Talquin this could be difficult.

One way to control tournament would be to make it on invitation only - with
all rules and regulation posted with invitation at mailing.

Why Crappie USA has elected to hold tournament on November 28th (Thanksgiving
weekend) if totally beyond my thinking............
Someone in Marketing failed to have calender avail when making out schedule.
