          These two tournaments are a lot of fun, there is a lot less going on for me to worry about and I'm able to socialize a lot more.

          Last year we had some large payout and this year we hope to set another record.


          Just so the anglers are aware... Your entry fee to actual payout breaks down to something like this:

          Entry Fees

          Less (Cost of Shirts)

          Less (Weigh Master Fee)

          Less (CC Processing Fees for online Registrations)

          Less (Plaques or Trophies)

          The remainder goes into the pot.


          Side Pot:
          Entry Fees

          Less (CC Processing Fees for online Registrations)

          The remainder goes into the side pot and gets divided 70% / 30% as stipulated in the rules.
