Started looking at next season and decided to tweak the payout table to give more boats a chance to break even or make a little money for the day by paying third place $100. With an 11 team payout you have a potential for 4 different boats to make at least $100, not bad for a $30 or $60 entry.  This year we averaged 14.6 boats which was awesome for the 5 tournament schedule.  Lake Michigan will be closed next season for all the Grand River Opens. Have a good winter!
