Doug... Doug...

Do you understand that there were 113 teams that participated in the 2 tournaments? 142 is the number that includes double entries. There were physically 113 teams that fished the 2 tournaments. It's hard for me to understand why that isn't the number that matters.

In my opinion, when 113 teams fish... 22 of those teams should cash a check.

No twisted figures here.

142 paid entries = 142 teams

Total paid between the 2 was 28 out of 142 teams (paid entries) that is 1 in 5 teams paid out

the 113 figure seems to be your hang up, it shouldn't be, it means nothing

It looks like you've tried to twist it in a way that it appears you've gotten the short end of the deal. But it's hard to argue simple math, it's just numbers which are all right here in front of you

You say you're not bashing Media or JC outdoors yet you post this here and many other posts on their facebook page as well. One of the post you even state that some teams had 3 anglers in the boat? You gorcorrected there as well. Spend more time pre-fishing and less time bit...
I go fishing to get away from the drama.

This is the problem with Common Core

You are still mis-stating facts to fit your narrative. They don�t pay back 1:5 based on the number of distinct teams. They pay back 1:5 based on the number of entries. 28 entries were paid, it doesn�t matter if they paid for one tournament or two, their entry fee was paid for the tournament they won. It appears you are the only one in this themread that feels anything was amiss. Your �warning� is falling on deaf ears, because people are seeing the statistics in the correct manner, and not discounting the �16� that received two checks.

If you had two jobs, would you expect your second employer to not pay you because you were paid by your first?

The problem is you are looking at this as one tournament because there was only one weigh in. This was two separate tournaments with each tournament having it�s own entry fee. JC had 76 teams and paid out 1 place for every 5 entries. Media had 66 teams and paid out 1 place for every 5 entries. The proper amount of places were paid for each individual tournament and that�s the facts you speak of.

Wow. You may want to go back and read the FB post again. I was wondering why there were different names on the tournament results for the same bag of fish, in the 2 tournaments.

And no, not bashing JC Outdoors or Media, just letting people know how allowing teams to count the same fish in 2 tournaments change the payout ratio.

That was a pretty dramatic post, by the way.

Doug is right. Bottom line is there were 142 teams. Look at the bright side you only lost one entry fee.

I'm the dramatic one, ok...

Absolutely!!!! That was never in question.

I'm trying to point out that since teams were allowed to count their fish in 2 tournaments, the payback ratio changed for the number of real teams in the tournament. 113 teams launched their boat at Fork Saturday morning... 16 received a check at weigh-in. allowing teams to weigh the same fish in different tournaments changes the payback ratio.

Again, as I stated in the original post, JC and Media paid there 1-in-5. Never a question.

the payback ratio was not different, There were 28 checks paid. So only 16 teams got those checks, its a dual tournament and completely expected that people in at least the top 5 will check on both sides. I get it, you're trying to let people know how it works, but the same amount of checks were handed out and you're preaching about the wrong thing.

There is always a bright side!!

113 means something, because that is the number of human teams that fished the tournament. 113 teams got up, launched their boat and fished all day... not 142 teams. Of those 113 teams, 16 took home a check (or two, or three).

No twisting.

Ok here is an analogy that may make it easier, Betty has 2 apples and Johnny has 3 pears, no no no JK



In poker they have "rebuy" tournaments.

In a "rebuy" you can have 500 entries and only 50 total players

Absolutely. As I stated in my original quote, Media and JC Outdoors paid their 1-in-5.
