In these hard times and crappy economy I couldn't do it. But what ever happened to the 1000.00 tourneys for 20.00 registration . It seems like there are more people now entering than 2 years ago when the pay out was bigger.I'm not bitching or anything just can't afford to pay that kind of entry fee. Good luck to all that can !

I will try to elaborate… The $1,000 Tourneys @ $19 were antiviral (members refused to tell anyone). In order to grow participation the format was tweaked.
With respect to the above proposed tournament structure, the assumption is fewer people will put up $100 to compete therefore fewer competitors. The tournament might be limited to 20 members... Anyone confident that they can hold top five might be interested...
Note: The proposed format would not replace the current LMB South format. It would be “an additional tournament structure”.

Totally understandable ! It is just easier for me to justify a 20 over a 100 . I think it would be a great new tourney . And maybe depending on when the tourny was I might be able to come up with an extra 100 but....Keep the great new ideas rolling in for us ! It is almost a new year can't wait to see what you all have in store for us !Thanks Bounty ! Bassindow

Pete you're right! Now I'd go for $100 entry for $5000 or better...just have to make some friends down South and go visit!;)

BF can only move as fast as potential sponsors. If anyone would like to fast-track this and bring a large sponsor aboard a 7.5% "Bounty" would be in order.

I agree Richard. Plus even to cover the payout you'd need 21 entrants to just break par.....
I hope to one day see company's like rapala and shimano jump on and sponsor the best fishing site on the net! Step up before it's too late!

I'd be all about it in the North. I think I have 2 or 3 friends that would be competing as well.... If they didn't on their own, I'd coerce them into it. :) There are MANY, MANY, MANY weekend tournaments out there (the ones I fish) that have a worse payback than what you are currently proposing. Ask the LMB North folks the same thing and see which group you get a bigger response from. I suppose you'd have to wait until next spring though now....

Yes I'd put up $100 for a Central tourney structured like that. Hey there is a kick a@@ factor involved when you put up $100...I'd surely be bumpin fishin holes to get the Bounty at that stake! This week I'm not chasin Crappy..If they aren't at my spot I throw out my other rod and catch somethingelse. It's like I don't try to hard....
Richard I like how you used "antiviral" in your sentence...pretty clever!lol luv it!

I like where this is going. I would be interested in a Central LMB tourney like this next spring. I would like to see Bass Pro Shops jump onboard. I seen an online affiliate offer that BPS will pay 5% from every sale that comes from BF. I buy a lot from their site and would be willing to go through BF to make future purchases.
If your to busy to fish, then your to dam busy!

I would be willing to go through BF for Bass Pro Shops as well.

I think $100 is a bit too high but if it was for central or north I would most likely be in.
Posted Sat Oct 24, 2009 7:33 pm Re: Largemouth Bass South Beta Tournament
I think a LM North tourny of this structure would work it would probably fill up fast especially if there was a cap on the number of particapants allowed I'd definately enter it maybe even a little bigger $200 entry 20 entrants allowed payout 2000, 1000, 500, 250, 125 or if there's enough support keep it at $100 but allow 40 to allow for bigger payouts I'm not sure how many members there are on this site but it shouldn't be too hard to get 20 or 40 to sign up

kinda depend on what month but you can count me in for the LMB south.
P.S - are we talking a week tourney X $100 or a one day tourney X $100

you could count me in for the central but its getting to be where you wont be able to get to the lakes around the central part of Oregon
Posted Tue Oct 27, 2009 9:02 am Re: Largemouth Bass South Beta Tournament
Well I think its a great idea....but if the prize structure stays the same i would expect a limited field of competitors. Placing 5th and getting your enrty back is not bad!! it could be better but not bad.
I would be in for other species as well.

I would be in on it. enter me
Posted Wed Oct 28, 2009 6:05 pm Re: Largemouth Bass South Beta Tournament
I would be into this format for Lm North..Smallies maybe too and what about another pike tourny ..I would even go with that format on that too...but I think 5th should be more than its enrty fee... with gas and time too..5th should at least put you ahead in $$ by the end of the week..
fish on...

Count me in on the South Tournament!
Posted Sun Nov 1, 2009 11:22 am Re: Largemouth Bass South Beta Tournament
Right now I am too busy with a few new projects I just started to enter. But if this is around next year I am all for this and will enter.

KB98 HERE, What if you were to increase tourney payout based on number of entries like regular tournaments ...percentage ratio etc.
Posted Sat Nov 7, 2009 3:24 am Re: Largemouth Bass South Beta Tournament
This format may present potential legal issues in certain states.

Posted Sat Nov 7, 2009 9:44 am Re: Largemouth Bass South Beta Tournament
What kind of legal issues and which states/provinces would be affected?

Legal ran $500 per hour to go state by state / province by province… sorry this information will not be disclosed in these forums.

Posted Sun Nov 8, 2009 1:06 pm Re: Largemouth Bass South Beta Tournament
thats understandable but which format would have the legal issues the original one at the start of the thread or kb98's format basing it on number of entrants because I like kb98's
