Dmac - Thanks and by the way, I love being right
All kidding aside, one major reason tournaments are run the way they are is becuase they have always been run that way and they are also run by the same people every year. A lot of these committes are volunteer staffed and running one of these things is not an easy task. There are always people 2nd guessing any decisions or changes made. Therefore, the path or least resistance and easiest way is to run it, is the way you always have because that is what the expectation is. Besides that, you know what the rules are before you go in so if you are in, well, you know what you are "in" for.
Also considered the mutiple port opportunity but did not want to chew off more then we could swallow the first time around. Maybe next year and if so with the help and involvement of some of our sponsor bait, tackle and Marina businesses.
Hope to see you at the tournament and best of luck to you and your crew.
