| Hello Stein,
Good question! The WMT has always guaranteed five pay-outs at our one-day events(even though in our first year we had only 10 teams fish one of our one-day event and had to take money out of my own pocket to pay down five places and awarded half of the feild with pay checks) and 10 pay-outs at our two day qualifying events. If we do not have enough fish registered for all of the pay-outs, we draw from the teams who did not receive money already. This is in our rules and we have stuck to it with consitency troughout the seven years and 88 tournaments of the WMT.
We have stuck to our rules for the pay-outs for many reasons, but also because the way teams qualify for the WMT's Invitational Championship is first by how much money they earn in each region or during the Major Open Championships and secondly by their points standings. Teams go to our qualifiers with this knowledge and expect that a certain amount of teams will make it from the tournament, no matter how bad the fishing conditions are on that given day of a WMT event, and that the WMT will not disappoint them.
Thanks,
Tom |
