RDT - would like to thank all ( 163 ) the anglers who fished with us this year in help this become such a great circut - we made a lot of new friends this year and had a great time putting on these tournaments.
This year RDT gave out over $11,000 in sponsor donations - thanks to Minn Kota, Humminbird, Power pole, Pro Mariner , optima Batteries and Mercury with their help we paid out to the anglers over 165% back - here is how the math work out - ( 3 ) tournaments = $17,100 entry fees + Classic (20 Boats ) = $1000 entry fees = $18,100 + $11,000 from sponsors - total of $29,100 or 165% given directly back to the anglers - I don't think you will find anyother tournament circut with those kind of numbers on a $100 entry per tournament and that's why we ha such a great tun out in just the first year.
We are currently working on next year schedule and trying to bring bigger and better things to the tournament circut for 2012 - we always are looking for new idea and are will to listen to anything you might have to stay (good or bad) in efforts to put on the best tournament possible and if anyone would like to volunteer to help at the weigh-ins we surely like to have you.
Thanks
Chad Sterkenburg - RDT
