The Good Ole Boys Bass Club will be making a change to its tournament format for the 2018 season. We will be moving to a PRO/AM format. What does this mean? There will be two divisions, boaters and non-boaters. Boaters will be competing against boaters and non-boater competing against non-boaters. Each angler weighs up to 5 bass for his/her total weight. We will continue to have pre-tournament draws, pairing a boater with a non boater. Both divisions will have guaranteed payouts. It was voted to structure the payout as follows:

If we have 6 or more non-boaters in a tournament:

1^st Place Boater – 35% of total purse

1^st Place Non-Boater – 25% of total purse

*If Non-Boater has the heaviest 5 fish limit of both divisions, they will be given 35% of total purse and 1^st place Boater will be give 25% of total purse*

2^nd Place Boater – 20% of total purse

2^nd Place Non-Boater – 10% of total purse

3^rd Place Boater – 10% of total purse

Big Bass will be awarded to the heaviest bass weighed for the day.

If we have less than 6 non-boaters in a tournament:

We will fall back to paying the first 5 places plus Big Bass

1^st Place Angler – 35% of total purse

2^nd Place Angler – 25% of total purse

3^rd Place Angler – 20% of total purse

4^th Place Angler – 10% of total purse

5^th Place Angler – 10% of total purse

Big Bass will be awarded to the heaviest bass weighed for the day.
