World Crappie Tournament Series

[torch]

150% payout , thats 50% more than the current ones out there. Would you be more apt to fish a tourney with type payouts?

Would give it a hard look.

Working on putting something together Major. A lot of these towns give pretty good $ to get these tourneys and feel like that should be added back in the payouts.

Would be interesting. Yes those towns do pay to have the tournaments held at their towns, but it does cost some pretty serious $$ to staff, insure, advertise, travel, and all the other expenses it takes to make them work. All the money given by town can not be added back to the pay outs or it would have to be run by locals for free. I am all about better pay outs. We been working on that too. Just about all of our tournaments run us in the red because we don't get very much of any kind of help from the communities around our lakes. Crappie Masters has the best pay out schedule out there today. Those communities also get back way more than is given because of the anglers that visit those towns numerous times and for long periods of time. I am interested to see how this works out.

Make the series a 501c not for profit. Use volunteeers and keep pay staff to a minimum. Have several big sponsors carry the brunt. Most CVB's want to invest but for two day tournaments only.

150% is way more than 50% more than other tournaments pay.

[Wannabe...]

Might jackpot a local or close - Grenada, Sardis, but serious travel on a trail like that would knock me out even if it was 250% payback. Just ain't got the time (ie permission).
