Senor Pescado *****, You are correct, in the simple and sounds like outstanding idea that has been presented, the money is in all sort's meaningless, and a great time will be had by all! When the money start's growing, and most tournaments have had these simple starts, and grown from there with enthusiasm, then the fun "Not" begins! There are always people that come in from the outside and start bagging on all the rules, money, committee members, ect ect. It never fails and they are the ones that get all the attention, not those that have put all the energy and work into making it a successful event. It is thankless, trust me! However, our tourney in Cabo www.wcbrt.com has been anything but, and can't wait for next year as the payouts may double!
As in anything in life, one person can ruin a good thing for all......doesn't matter if he/she is driving 55 in the fast lane or fishing a tournament......it's life!
