Biggest Payback Trail to hit Ohio River

[mattplapp]

I will have it up on Thurs or Fri this week. I got sick this weekend and then had to go out of town, so that delayed it. Sorry, my phone has rang off the hook with questions just like yours, I guess this is going to be big!!

i see where you figured the payback for 150 boats. what happens when you only draw 40-70 boats per tx? sounds like a great trail and if my health allows me i plan on fishing it. not trying to be negative but seems to me tx's on the river just dont get the draws they used to. come calling on carrolton tx is a perfect example. if i remember right you had about fifty boats for that. just wondering how this would effect the payouts and if the boat will still be there even if you dont get the entries you expected. keep up the great work matt. you guys are doing alot for the sport.

Considering I've had over 100 phone calls and emails regarding this, under 125-150 boats is highly unusual. Look at the Classic, it's already got $40,000 plua a $25,000 boat before entry fee's. If you fish any type of tournaments, you know this will be HUGE. I have no doubt we'll have the boats, if we do it's just like any other tournament, it's 100% payback of the entry fees. The only other money is in the classic. Where someone is going to get paid bigtime.

so if for some strange reason you dont get the # of boats you anticipate it will be money only, no boat? not trying to ruffle your feathers, but i have fished the river for 15+ years and ive seen many trails schedule 3-4 tx's on the river only to reschedule 2 or 3 of them due to high water. then when you move a tx from 1 weekend to another you generally lose 20-30% of the original field due to other tx's & obligations.thanks matt

The boat count has nothing to do with the classic prizes. The payout for EVERY tournament is 100% for 1 boat or 5,000 boats. At the classic wether there is 1 boat or 5,000 boats competeing it will be 100% payback ($200 entry fee on each tourny), the classic champion will get a 2006 Skeeter valued at $25,000 and the rest of the field will split up at least $40,000 in sponsor money and $20,000 in door prizes.

So use this example for the classic. If 10 boats are there at $200 a pop the payback is 1 2006 Skeeter valued at $25,000 for the winner and $2,000 entry fees and $40,000 sponsor money & $20,000 in Door Prizes for the rest of the contestants or 9 boats

Or if the Classic field is 100 boats are there at $200 a pop the payback is 1 2006 Skeeter valued at $25,000 for the winner and $20,000 entry fees and $40,000 sponsor money & $20,000 in Door Prizes for the rest of the contestants or 9 boats.

I think you need to go to our website and read the rules. My tournaments are always 100% payback. The prizes are NEVER funded by the entry fees. This tournament will be HUGE.

If for some wild reason we have a flood, then we will go from there, no one can predict mother nature, but I can tell you there is already a $25,000 boat, $40,000 in cash and $ 20,000 in door prizes for the Classic and that was before 1 person had signed up.
