I have a question for you guys that know the ins and outs of tournaments:

The Lynn Baptist Association in Hart and Larue County has a partnership with a church and a missionary couple in West Africa. There are 10-13 of us going over there in October to help with construction, work in the schools, and spread the Gospel through bible school, workshops, and preaching crusades. The trip is very expensive and with private support, church support, associational support, and our personal bank accounts we are still going to come up short to send the whole team (instead of paying our individual way, we are pulling our resources together for the entire team). We are looking at doing different types of fund raisers.

I was wondering if a Saturday tournament would be a good way to raise money. I didn't know if by the time you advertised, paid the winners, ect if there would be much left. I was wondering what you guys thought.

Thanks and blessed fishin,
jeremy
