Zeroing out the weights eliminates the ability to win by having just one or two killer days that an angler rides to the finish. Also allows for the auto pass to the championship for the 2 anglers that win their qualifying rounds. Pretty simple really, but I guess if you just wanna hate on something it’s best to not actually understand it.
Also worth noting… way more threads and discussion about MLF Redcrest than the Classic here on the TFF.
And there are more Jones and Milliken threads than other people, is that supposed to mean something?

What is the point of fishing several days in a row to get down to 10 on the final day. Just have a 1 day tournament with all that are entered and whoever has the most fish at the end of the day is the winner. Simple as that. Are you talking about MLF or all organizations? Doesn't BASS the same thing? They cut the field after day 2 and then cut the field to 10 on final day.

I like zeroing of weights in MLF style, and I hate it in 5 fish format.
The comparison between two things that not comparable sure is getting obnoxious. I enjoyed the footage from both leagues and their championship event. I do find it a little mind blowing that the same 6 people get on every post about MLF to talk about how much they don't like it. Bizarre.

I don’t like it either but I’m not involved in it ( they didn’t invite me lol) , they all know about it so I guess they are ok with it.

I, for one, am just so glad that yet another MLF hater thread has been started. What else would you old curmudgeons have to bitch about....oh yeah.....HS fishing tournies, College tournies, growing the sport, ramp etiquette, people crowding you, etc., etc., etc. If a single one of you possessed 10% of the talent that it took for those guys to be fishing today for $300,000 and had that opportunity, you would do it. If you say you wouldn't, you are a liar.  Damn bro. What got in your flakes this morning. This is an open FORUM. You can talk about whatever topic you like involving fishing. Seems like YOU have the issue.

The mlf/bpt style of scorekeeping more closely resembles all other sports and I think that’s the goal. Imagine a ncaa basketball tournament where the score kept adding up everyday or an nfl season, etc. Each day is a new game. The good thing about it- no one is harmed by this, we have 5 fish tournaments for those that like that format as well.

Ya, I am not sure why people get so offended on here. This is a FORUM.
Definition of a forum: a place, meeting, or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged.
Why do people get so mad when others express their opinions of disagreements? People act like everyone should agree on everything 100% of the time. The guys that argue against MLF are absolutely no different than the ones who express their opinions in favor of it. The most used comeback on here is "if you don't like it then don't watch it", well "if you don't like the comments, don't read them".

I guess they are trying to make it more like stick and ball sports for betting purposed. Ball games on different days always reset the score, in baseball they reset on the same day at times with double headers. But I agree bass fishing tournaments have always been treated more like golf where aggregate score carries over multiple days. Is one right or wrong IDK but do prefer the aggregate but aggregate more often than not would not be exciting in the MLF format.

Some guys just can't handle a little opposition. I'm a coach and it's constant razzing in the office. You have to be quick and witty, otherwise you get ate up.

Actually, I think we have a bunch of guys who grew up without the internet. We learned early that you didn't run your mouth without repercussions. The younger generation who grew up on the internet does not understand that concept.
