Of course BASS sets up their opens so the Elites have a better chance than the normal entrants. Central Division all east of Mississippi River except 1. That is not central at all but it is right in the Elites wheelhouses. The schedule looks like it was written by about 20 Elite Pros. No doubt that BASS did a layup on their Central Open schedule this year. It's a complete joke. There is no explainable scenario for a Central Division open schedule that does not involve at least one tournament in Texas. Maybe the schedule this year is punishment for hosting the worst open in history at Lewisville last year.

Maybe has BASS heard the concerns of Texas fishermen who've said repeatedly and loudly, you're killing our lakes from over exposure???... Dan

Not that I really care BOF, I’m curious why you choose to rail on MLF so consistently? You are certainly free to have your opinions, and I respect that you know your opinions will get challenged. But you are continue to post about them knowing you will get bashed. Why are you so concerned about MLF business? I’m asking in all sincerity, unlike some of my other posts that were trolling you. I’m curious what they did or did not do to you to cause this much animosity. We may never know!

I think I’d watch the BPT if they’d go back to having no practice days. That’s what made the early MLF shows fun, seeing why guys picked certain areas. You do realize that the format you mentioned still exists in the form of the cup events right?

I think the schedule was set up that way so the X Elites coming back from BPT have a better than average chance to quailify for the Elites again. If they have one on Rayburn it woud probably be dominated by Rayburn sticks. Same with Lake of Ozarks.

I especially like the part where BASS CHANGED THE RULES they set, and the field size unexpectedly rises from a busy lake to a field that is fishing on top of each other. Are they offering to let those that signed up initially to back out now that BASS CHANGED THE RULES after they entered with a field size set. I’m sure BASS CHANGED THE RULES and the field was raised specifically to get the membership fees to help try to cover payroll.
You never know what you are going to get with these guys, every time I turn around they are changing something. It will be interesting to see how the rules on the water are enforced now that Trip quit, maybe he saw the writing on the wall or is going to a competitors trail. Who knows.
Nothing like having 225 boaters an a bunch of co’s beating up the water for a solid week to 10 days with no off limits. Makes for great tournament days....not.
I think they adjusted things to meet the overwhelming demand and to try to accommodate as many as possible. What’s the right number, I don’t know, but I think they have some idea of how many entrants they can manage and handle during any given event. I am sure if someone wanted to back out, as you seem to question, they could do so freely, especially considering the reported size of each of the divisions waiting lists.

The opens have an overwhelming amount of interest and MLF is reducing the amount of BPT practice days... it’s just industry news. Is it being viewed as railing against MLF to share info like that and speculate as to why they might have done it? That’s wanting people to take a head in the sand approach, no?

Hey Warren, I'm pretty sure BPT has always had 2 days practice.

Thanks for responding, much appreciated. You have confirmed my suspicions that they have wronged you in some manner, and you are completely unable to be objective in your arguments. I hope you are able to let go of your anger towards MLF and move on with a happy productive live. Best of luck to you pal.

[quote=Dubee]Hey Warren, I'm pretty sure BPT has always had 2 days practice. Why is it so hard for you to do just the slightest bit of research before you comment on something I post? It’s really not that hard, and if you want to discredit what I say, I would suggest it be required. Otherwise you give me an open shot at discrediting you. http://bassfan.com/news_article/10123/opinions-vary-on-shorter-practice-period#.YBmx7y08Kf0[/quote Why don't you try to post something factual. Your original comment is BPT reduced practice to 2 days. That article says the pro circuit reduced practice to 2 days. I already knew that
