Big Water's Edge 2007 Tournament

[lambadmin]

Make up your mind Art - you're either with The People That Paddle, or...

I know which one I'll fish.

I also know who'll win.



There's some cool stuff cooking for this tourney... Too cool...

I'm having difficult time keeping my mouth shut.

Entry Fee: $40

Optional Jackpot: $20
Payout: 1st place- 50%, 2nd place- 30%, 3rd place- 20%
A portion of the entry will benefit Hubb's White Seabass Program

Can you clarify this for me.
Is the payout from the Entry, optional Jackpot, both combined or other.
Payout covers 100% so what portion is going to Hubb's
It says optional jackpot is that paid out by percentages or is that all going to the one biggest fish.

Thanks for the clarification

I think I've figured out how I can pull this off....hoop LJ, get limits, tie off on some kelp, and take a nap on the water...now all I need is a wake up call.

Payout as follows:

• We take out the paypal fees from the pot
• Then 10% of this pot balance goes to HUBBS
• Then the remaining balance of the pot is paid out (1st 50%, 2nd 30%, 3rd 20%)

The Jackpot is paid out to the winner of the biggest fish. There are no fees taken from the jackpot.

Stay tuned! more to come!

Good Luck!

Thanks for the clarification, Wish I could be there. I have a demo day I am doing out at Santee Lakes for National Hunting and fishing day.

Good luck to everyone entering

A free night and dinner at the La Jolla Shores Hotel the night before the tourney is a great incentive to sign up early! Might even have to bring the wife if I win!

I'll say what I can:

- it took months to plan
- it took major sponsorship... I mean sponsorships.
- some serious $$$$
- will be something rather handy for vast majority of folks
- it's in the works as I type...
- will likely be in place and announced the week of the BWE 07 tournament.

People please sign up early if you plan on attending this event - it will make organizing the tournament logistics that many of us volunteer our time for much easier.

I'm not worried we won't meet the low participant cut-off number that was set for BWE07 tournament to happen, but it truly sucks to be under that pressure trying to be highly enthusiastic while putting it all together.
