UPDATE:
The game plan is to have the tournament, with no cheaters, and have the OCV get it approved so the winners can go on to Mazatlan and dodge bullets while competing for real money. There is no sponsor this year, so we are on our own. Whatever we choose to pay for an entry fee is what will be used for the prize money. If we don't want to have an entry fee, then there won't be any prize money. Easy as that. I don't know what Dan or Felipe are talking about, but I probably said to Felipe, that if we all chip in $500 a boat, and we have 20 boats, then we have $10 grand to divide up into prize money. That was probably the conversation, but not anything set in stone, just an example.
If the OCV was running it, they would offer 10k of prize money, and try and get 20 boats in at an average of $500 each. Do you see where I am coming from now? Of course, if only 5 boats enter, like last year, then the OCV is stuck footing the bill. We can''t do that. So we decide how much to enter, and that will determine how much prize money is available. The real prize is the right to be in the "invitation only" tournament in Mazatlan in December, the "governors cup".
So, lets meet Friday afternoon , evening, sign up and all vote on how much per day, 1 or 2 days, and decide on what fish we are going to fish for. Ted miller is going to help me with some basic guidlines for the "last minute tournament" he has been in hundreds of them, so he knows.
Lets not get all tense about this tournament, its basicly a "between friends" event, to try and keep the tournament in Penasco for next year, hopefully by then the OCV will have figured out their financial issues and will hold a proper event with good prize money, held at Capone's.
So get that out there, don't let people spread rumors, you heard it from the dog's mouth. Any further questions, just ask me and I'll see if I can figure it out.
Cheers,
Dave
