The governor said it was up to individuals and businesses. MLF is a business. It holds events in other states. Other states might not have the same freedoms at this point.

They’re not going against Texas authorities, you dolt. The governor didn’t abolish Covid protocols. He simply left it up to businesses and individuals.

Publicly verifiable....OMG, walk into any business and ask to see their books, let us know how it goes for you. New flash, they owe you zip, zero, nada.

Not sure what you mean. All the other circuits publish this information, so it’s only natural to presume the BPT would do the same.

The AAA, Big 5 Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit publish it here.
The Big 5 Toyota Series publish it here.
B.A.S.S. Elite Series publish it here.

So the information is not something that’s normally considered privileged and a trade secret. Why do you think the BPT entry fees and payout schedule should not be scrutinized?

Mlf does not publish it , because it bothers you so much. I don't really see or hearing it bother anyone else

Your not wrong

Your not wrong

watch the tv shows....it shows the huge payouts on every one of their shows...last one i recall it showed them paying a minimum of $4,000. to all the fishermen...

let's circle back to that in 2030...…...

So no one has been able to locate the entry fee and payout schedule for the MLF Bass Pro Tour for the 2021 season? Don’t any of you find that odd? Maybe someone who strongly suggests they have their finger on the pulse of how things are going and growing within that organization can provide explanation why that’s something being hidden from the general public when all other tours and circuits, including ones under the MLF umbrella, are readily available for scrutiny and comparison.

Come on, surely one of you can provide an authorized/official 2021 MLF BPT fee schedule? Why doesn’t one exist?

copied this from Bassfan for the Rayburn event..

The total purse for the event is more than $805,000, with $100,000 going to the winner.

Television coverage of the tournament will be showcased across two two-hour episodes, premiering at 7 a.m. ET, Aug. 28 on the Discovery Channel. New MLF episodes premiere each Saturday morning on the Discovery Channel, with additional re-airings on the Outdoor Channel and the Sportsman Channel. Each two-hour long reality-based episode goes in-depth to break down each day of competition.

With all due respect, that’s not a fee and payout schedule. Where is it being shown what the anglers entry fees are and how far down the list is getting a check? Also, I could not help but notice the very interesting choice of wording describing what’s going to be broadcast many months later. Oh, the irony of it all is too hard to take.

Last year, payouts were shown after the event concluded, but what won't be shown is what the actual entry fee is.
