108 teams x $280 per team = $30,240.
Total paid out was $21,600.
$21,600/$30,240 = 71.4% payback.
5th place in a 108 team tournament with a $280 entry fee only paid back $600 ????

Nope, but have you priced one? 45k will barely touch a base boat.
Legend isn't giving them away for 1/2 price I can assure you.
How about the travel pay and money for the tourney staff?
I wouldn't expect them to work for free.

You defend this 71% payout then have the audacity to rip on the Texas Team Trail payout schedule which is waaaaaayyyy better than this ?? You have to be joking ..............

don't expect them to work for free but think with all the sponsors they can atleast payout 80%. And as faar as the boat deal they probably aren't even paying 40k for the boats. why would a boat manufacter expect to be called a sponser and sell the boats at a profit. not trying to get in an argument just think it should be 80% payout atleast.

BassNBucks bought 1 boat and BudLight bought 1 boat. Toledo BNB Championship is for BassNbucks only. Rayburn Championship is for BudLight/BNB qualifiers.
They did not pay full price for the boats. Or even close to that. There was a special incentive consideration from Legend boats for the "merger" of BassNBucks and BudLight. The money is going for one boat and tournament director paycheck.

Anglers,
I have always tried to be as patient and give direct answers to questions that anglers raise on this forum and when I receive PM's. Some of the people doing all the complaining should come to one of these tournaments and pay all the expenses with their checkbooks and then buy the boats at the end of the season in the Championships and then take off to some nice resort with the incredible profits made by the insanely rich tournament providers.
The Bass N Bucks tournament paid back over 75%, which it has been doing for the past 18 years. The person adding the amount on this forum did not add in the $1000 guaranteed to the person catching the Big Bass because it was left off the results posting on the BNB website.
If you subtract for expenses: $500 just to use Umphey Pavilion, 7 people to work the tournament, tournament trailer and live release vehicles, and diesel to pull equipment to the lake, insurance for equipment and the tournament, Polygraph examiner, ETC. I do not believe anyone could run this tournament for under $2000. This leaves approximately $5000 x 5 tournaments remaining (if the remaining tournaments pull the same number of anglers) = $25,000 to buy a fully loaded, tandem axle, 2 depth finders, 200 Mercury optimax on a Legend Alpha 191 boat. If anyone, who thinks they can do this, I will put my money where my mouth is and buy the boat on the spot for $30,000 and the people who "think" the boats are free are welcome to show me where it is and I will still buy it from them for $30,000.
Sorry for the rant but this is really getting old. A touch of reality needs to be applied to some of the remarks being made.

BNB staff TBT... I swear my original comment was just bad humor and I apologize if it rubbed you the wrong way.mmto be perfectly honest I could care less where the money goes in tournament fishing. When I fish tournaments I NEVER think of where the money goes, I'm too focused on pulling out a limit. The guys who complain about the "extra" money are probably jackasses that don't even fish tournaments or are the guys who show upnatnthe weigh ins with 20 lbs worth of excuses and no fish. I wish and hope that you guys would and could make a ton of money running these circuses. Hell, I wouldn't do it... Too many babies whining about bullcrap. Just get out there and kick some [censored] and catch some fish! TBT... If I ever meet you at a tournament, be sure to tell me who you are on here and I'll buy you a steak and a beer. Keep up the good work!
