Is it just me of is zeroing the weights about the stupidest thing ever. It's essentially 2 different tourname to. A 3 day and then 1 day. Without zeroing the weights the day 3 leader would've won Harris today by quite a bit.

Don't like it either for 5 fish, anyone have weight totals for all 4 days?

They are trying to get closer to stick and ball sports. I don’t think either way is right or wrong.

Just think of it as 3 days qualifying for a 1 day tournament...

They are trying to get closer to stick and ball sports. I don’t think either way is right or wrong.

Stick and ball sports don’t zero the scores 3/4 of the way though the game.

I think it’s stupid and gives the better angler a severe disadvantage. They blow their fish up and they suck on the final day.

I bet some people DO LIKE THAT. It rewards mediocrity. Typical of todays leadership.

This method of scoring almost promotes sandbagging. Catch just enough to make the cut… then go like hell on day three.

On the flip-side…if they are good, they get to rag on the losers for getting whooped twice in 4 days on the same lake.

MLF stinks and Bass is not much better IMO. I quit following both about 2 years ago.

This isn't about the organizations sucking or not. It's about the format. I'm just curious how many others feel the way I do or they like the idea of it.

Tim Horton was on BTL today and when asked about that he made it sound like the anglers are not a fan of it other.

Fish management. Same as hooking everything you can on the first day and not having anything left for the rest of the tournament. It will kill you in a 5 fish limit multi day tourney every time. It's not like they didn't know how it was set up on day one...

It’s to ensure a greater chance at drama. No one can run away from it before the final day.

Not always the case. This tournament shows that. The guy who finished second managed his fish and averaged his weights better than everyone else. Went into final day with a fairly large lead but zero weight had him lose by a pound

Golf is stick and ball and they keep aggregate score for 4 days.

BASS did it with Mega Bucks and no one seemed to mind or maybe they did and we just did not the internet to use to complain.
