I do know they all worked very hard at everything they do and without them there would be no FLW. The guys following them are the ones playing the fantasy fishing game. I just looking from the outside in it looked strange thast all its why I opened the debate. Do you think it rubs them the wrong way? Maybe any visibility is good visibility.
I see your point, but like TR21 said, they knew the rules going in. Besides, maybe Triton made it up to him in some payout that we don't see? Maybe you could email the guys, and ask them. But don't be upset if they don't answer, or are short in their answers, like saying they knew what to expect.

I don't play the fantasy fishing game though, does a player have to pay to play? Is there some sort of income that FLW gets through its fantasy fishing game, besides advertising?

Finally, FLW is a business, and I am pretty sure they meet their targets, and to pay out the amount in fantasy games you are reporting, then I have to believe they are bringing in more in the fantasy side than the actual tournament side. This makes "me" wonder many things, mostly that the advertisers KNOW that the fantasy guys will spend more in total than the fisherment will spend.

Just my 2˘ worth.... and not worth that much to anyone else, I imagine...LOL
