The ease of fishing a tournament is important:
-Sing up online, the night before, or the day of the event
-They are informative on places to stay (they have their own forum)
-They make it easy for boaters, choice of ramps when needed
-Staggered weigh in times (like Basschamps)
-Fast weigh-in's (like Basschamps)

Good Group of guys:
-Booker is always available for questions/concerns.
-Never any issues with any people on the trail at the events, weigh-ins or on the water
-They have free beer and sausage wraps at the weigh in
-They do have music at times the night before the events sometimes at registration
-They like to party
-Did I mention the free beer?

Lakes:
-They choose good lakes to fish that offer different challenges (no Canyon this year :))
-They listen to the anglers and make common sense decisions (Changed date of Belton last year, cancelling Waco due to high water)
-2 day championship

Cost is less than champs and offers a great payout.

There's more but that pretty much sums it up IMO
