I don't know if there were 1100 boats in tournaments or not, even if there were only 400 in 2 seperate tourneys going out of Kentucky Dam Village and the Moores or Moores and Ken Lake, these are close enough that 400 boats will be speeding to their first spots at the same time. If nothing else big tours like Renegade, USA Bassin, FLW, Elite Series and others could very easily get together when their schedules are put out many months in advance to schedule different launch times for safety as well. Again just my 1 cent.
I would have no problem with that either. I schedule all of CAST tourneys on kdwfr even though we are really small. Don't get me wrong, I hate all the traffice like anyone else, but I sure am glad that no one can tell us we can't have a tourn. at a certain time. I wish everyone had to register, we try to avoid a big tourn. when possible, but you can't if you don't know about it.
You prob. will never be able to avoid two tourn. close together all of the time. And you have to remember, even when they do register, that is an estimation. They might call it a 150 boat tourn., but only 80 show's up. It could go the other way also I know, but in my opinion the number of participants have been low the last few years, and I think everyone knows why.
