Anybody familiar with the Classic Series. Here's the deal. One of our boats missed the Classic by .5 points. However, after the fact they get a phone call - anonymous that said that there aren't ties because big bass would break it. With that the case the team they split the point with was the team just ahead of them in the standings. They got the last Classic spot. But.... if instead of tying and splitting the point they go to big bass our friends boat wins because they have the bigger bass. They get the whole point which would put them ahead of the boat they finished behind and give them the last berth in the Classic.
Gets complicated and looking at the rules it appears that ties only occur when both parties have same weight and same big bass. Have made the necessary phone calls. Have one more to make as soom as we get the tournament directors phone number. Should be interesting to see how it all turns out. One of those what if scenarios that happens when you set something up. You would think that it wouldn't get so complicated but it sometimes does. Will keep you posted as soon as we get the issue interpreted.

Trolling motors certainly, oar locks becomming standard items on the new rigs. I know our tournament group Tear Drop Bass, teardropbass.com, has voted on lakes - Hamlin Lake, Manistee Lake, Portage Lake (Onekama), Crystal Lake, (Beulah), Elk/Torch, Green Lake (Interlochen) and our Classic (at this point these are the proposed lakes) will be on Grand Traverse Bay. The Tear Drop has a 100% pay back, two day $5,000 Classic. averaging about 25 boats. The Classic Series and the new Bassmaster's Series is sure going to be interesting though.
