I don't see any point in any payouts that are under double whatever the buy in is. I.e. paying deep enough for someone to get back $150 on a $500 buy is pointless to me. Lowest paid place should be getting $1,000 at a $500 buy tourney for example. So 50% to first, and as deep in the field as you get registrants to sign up for, down to double buy in for last paid place, with a side pot or optional side pot for big bass to make everyone feel better fi they catch the best kicker fish but don't bring in the heavy sack, that should be worth buy in, so $500 for that maybe, so anyone regardless of place could get their money that way lol
That sounds about as "fair" as I can imagine paying competition should be personally, and leaves room for adjustment shallower or deeper. For all I care, as long as first gets 50%, the 2nd-10th place could evenly split the rest honestly, and I'd have no objection/qualms with it. So long as the criteria of first getting the most, and lowest paid gets enough to matter or make sense (double buy in). The serious competitors are fishing for first, and the people donating mostly know it and are there on a gamble that they luck into a heavier sack than someone and get in money but in a way are just fun fishing with an edge, if that makes sense. I talk to a lot of anglers who fish tournaments just for fun who don't honestly believe they have a chance at #1, which sounds crazy as most competitions occur between people who are all of the belief they are/can be #1 lol

My point is being made more for tournaments on Sam Rayburn and Toledo but I am sure the guys on Fork use the same tactics as well. Leave to tops to the crappie guys!
