The pot will then start over. With the exception of the first tournament one participant of the team must have entered the Super Bass option consecutively one week prior to collect the entire pot. If the team does not meet these criteria they can only collect of the pot and the remaining amount will begin a new pot. Any funds remaining in the pot at the last tournament will be paid out to the biggest Bass of those participants who have entered in the Super Bass Option in at least four of the Cool Weather Events. The remaining funds will be split 60% to the biggest Bass, 40% to second largest during the last Tournament on Saturday December 17, 2016.
