Thread: Championship

A pass the hat tourny would have to be totally seperate from the championship. Some who are qualified to fish the championship still have to pay the entry fee. Why should a non qual have a chance at the Quals entry fee. Then you get into the situation where a non qualifier fishes in the same boat as a qualifier. Who's fish count for who? This could get to be very complicated. Dont get me wrong. I love the competition and I want to see more people fishing the FJ's next year, but they wouldnt let a football team play in the Super Bowl if they hadnt won a playoff game. Even though that team wasnt eleiglbe to get the trophy if they won, they could still get all of the T.V. royalties. This amounts to the same thing.

9) Championship qualification. To qualify for the championship, participants must fish at least 3 regular FJ tournaments. If a team places in a regular FJ tournament, their entry fee is waived for the championship. In the event a team disbands prior to the championship, that team must designate 1 person to receive the waiver of the championship entry fee.


Speck, there will be no entry fees for the championship pot if you will read the above.

Sat, I think there is still an entry fee unless your team placed in one of the FJ's if I'm not mistaken. If you were in the money in any of the regular FJ's then your entry fee is waived. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

Decision will be left up to the Tourney Director. OK Wannabe lets hear how you are gonna handle this!

I have talked to most of ya'll through pm's or phone calls and the majority of ya'll are against it. So I will tell these guys to qualify for next year and get in.

1. If they wanna have a seperate tournament, we cant stop em. Just let em take up their own money and divide up the pay oute. I aint got a problem with em using our scales either.

2. There is an entri fee for any championship participants, unless the team has placed in a regular season even.

Yep, if you placed, you're entry is waived. The oppressed and down trodden such as myself, will have to fork over another entry fee.

I agree....if they want to fish seperately, they're welcome, but let's not muddy the water with a combination at the last minute.

Maybe we ought to lower the requirement to 2 to qualify next year???????? Most of the regulars are gonna fish everyone they can make, but some of the guys have a tough time getting loose on Saturdays. Say somebody like Duckhunter. He would fish 'em all, but it's tough to get away from his store on Saturdays. On the other side of the coin, a fella that wanted to could take advantage with minimal input for maximum gain on the championship. I hate to leave folks like Duckhunter out, but left up to me, I'd roll with the 3 to qualify rule as is. It's a pretty minimal requirement compared to most series out there. I'd like to hear what ya'll think though.
