BAM Big Money

[TCook]

Dave, that's understandable and for the record I am not trying to bash BAM or disrespect you guys for my gain, payback Bass has a different objective or niche.  I just look at the numbers and if its not good I feel the need to let the fisherman know.
     If all membership fees are put towards the classic it still changes nothing according to your site. All that changes is the percent of the entry fees that are paid back. Based on 75 boats if $10,000 is paid back at the classic and $7,500 per tournament for 3 tournaments the total $ paid out is $32,500 and the total money paid in through entry fees is $37,500. Total $ paid in through membership fees is $80x75 = $6000 (goes to classic fund). So $10,000 - $6000 = $4000 to be paid in from the entry fees for the classic. Therefor $22,500 + $4000 = $26,500 that will be paid out from entry fees. 75 entries x $500 = $37,500 so $26,500 / $37,500 = 70.06% of entry fee money paid back.
    If there is money being put in to the classic fund through the weekday tournaments then I don't think that would change big moneys payback since the amount payed out is what it is. Only way to increase your payback % is to increase how much you are paying back.

A detailed payout chart for a full field would be a very handy item and should be pretty easy for the right people to produce.

you girls are all arguing about the same things.   it don't matter what u pay for entries it's what you keep for running the event

 i like getting paid for what i put in but in all reality we arent pros and we all do this for a hobby.. if we didnt wanna do it we wouldnt yes there are many options out there. tim your one of my good friends and you pulled alot of the best sticks and paid out great. everyone has there own perks im considering going back bbt. Russ pulled a huge rabbit out his hat with the BASS team deal thats things u gotta look at too. like everyone does we will just hit everything we can and enjoy every minute of it..
