Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | -Ok, you want a big dollar tournament, how would be your “IDEAL” tournament be set up? Over the next couple of weeks, I will post several surveys, so please take time to answer each one.
Knowing that there is cost in running a tournament series, what is a fair payout percentage?

Location: Elko - Lake Vermilion | Who in their right mind would go thru putting on a Tourney for free !
Who ever promotes this deal needs to be someone who is well organized, patient, a good salesman, and they would have to compensated for doing this.
So If you don't pay this person out of the Entry Fee's .,,,,,,,...then how will they be paid?? How are other promoters paid ? And remember ...We Ain't Pros.

| OK Top Water....You are a "PRO" even though you are a good and modest person. A PRO is defined as "one which pays money to fish an event with the hope of winning even more money.
You sir are a PRO and a good one at that and it has been my honor to fish a long side you in the past and I hope, in the future.

| Like I said on another thread in more detail, I am more with Top H20 on who is a pro. The full time guides who add tourneys to what they do every other day are OK with me to add to that column. Also OK are the others who pretty much make the musky thing their livelihoods in some other way. And, I'd even add Denny and Dewey in there just cuz they are great guys and I would never list them anywhere they didn't wish to be. But, for a GREAT number of us......it's a hobby. Sure, I wish it's all I did, and some day some dumb SOB is going to buy the junkyard and I am going to try it. But for now, I work 50-60 hours a week recycling metals and fish tournaments on the weekends for fun all summer. Now, as to the actual question....I think a fair payout is 60%. If you are going to run a business, and have the resources to properly promote it and have just a bit left for your trouble...I'd say you need a gross margin of 40% if it's this particular business. Like the good book says, "you shouldn't put a muzzle on the ox that grinds out your corn"........and "a workman is worthy of his hire." |

| Payout really depends on the tournamnet promoter's sponsorship. Big name, big money sponsorship. Probelm with muskie tournaments is there isn't a big name sponsor out there. No Walmarts, National Guards, Tide, Miller Beer, etc. So 80% if the tourney promoter is paid from entry fees, and doesn't have to do a whole lot of advertising to fill the field. |
