Tournament Caution

BLUELIGHT SPECIAL · 09-21-2007, 12:26 PM

I GUESS I NEED TO VENT. I HAVE BEEN FISHING A CERTAIN BROADBILL CIRCUT THAT HAS NOW BEEN CANCELLED FOR LEG 3 AND THE FINALS. AFTER THE RIDICULOUS PAYOUT IN LEG 2 AND THE COMMENTS AT THE WEIGH IN ABOUT CHANGING THE PAYOUTS (WHICH WAS IMMEDIATLY CONFRONTED BY ONE OF THE TOURNAMENT BOATS) I GUESS I SHOULD NOT BE SURPRISED. I WOULD CAUTION EVERYONE TO STICK WITH THE GUYS RUNNING TOURNAMENTS THAT HAVE HIGH INTEGRITY AND THAT HAVE BEEN PROVEN OVER THE YEARS. I DONT GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!

that is really messed up...

Nick C · 09-21-2007, 03:22 PM

Hmmmmmm.... See why some of us were a little suspicious at first?

Cono, that sucks.

My crew, Team Fintasic, fished the first two legs with the notion it was series and were poised to win the whole damn thing if luck would have it having placed at or near the top in the first two legs. We were currently second or third in the overall standings and looking forward to squaring off with the Sword Briner, Matt, Blue Light and the other top teams and skippers.

Clearly some controversy and poor organization. I really hope it was this and not something more sinister. However, I do hope someone rescues or adopts the circuit or series points approach. It's cool because anyone can get lucky in one tourney but when someone or a team takes a series it truly speaks to skill.
