GRS $3000 Bonus/Grassroots update

[sb]

Our website, www.specktourney.com is fully up to date outside of the GRS bonus we are announcing today.

The final GRS event of the year will provide the "$3000 tiered bonus". Here is how it works. We will be keeping Angler of the Year points every event which can see on our website. In the final event, we will split the field into 3 tiers evenly according to the final rankings going into the last event. Ex. If there are 135 teams ranked after the Aug #4 event and 66 teams show up for the #5 championship event, we will take those 66 teams and split them into 3 tiers for the bonus according to their overall ranking. Tier #1 (1-22) heaviest overall weight for final event will win a $1000 bonus. Tier #2 (23-44) heaviest weight for final event will win a $1000 bonus. Tier #3 (45-66) heaviest weight for final event will win a $1000 bonus.

Below is the Grassroots amateur only event. We are currently taking registrations online. There is a maximum of 30 slots available.

Great idea!

[Rob S]

can we enter at the captains meeting and not pay a late fee?

[sb]

You can sign up at the THur Gulf Coast Composite THUR May 10 captain's meeting between 7pm -8pm without incurring any late fees. There is no cap for the GRS only the Grassroots so you are good to sign up.

We are looking at having anywhere between 80-100 teams for the GRS and another 30 for the Grassroots so come early. You can park at the parking lot just to the north of the building.

You can always sign up online but will incur a small paypal fee. You must come to one capt meeting to pick up your tourney t-shirt plus your choice of a dri-fit GRS shirt, hat, visor. Come early to get one of the extra items. We have plenty but once one type is gone you have to choose what is left.

Sal,

Does the first event in 2 weeks count towards TOY points or is it more like an opener like last year?


Cole

[sb]

First first event is not a pre-season like last year.

This year AOY of the year points count as follows: There are 5 events this season. You can drop 1 of the first 4 events toward AOY. You must use the championship (event 5) toward your points. We are counting your best 3+ the championship in Sept.

There will be no one running away with AOY honors. You will have to have a good championship to win the whole thing.

Final 4 bracket starts in June.
