This is a shame. My brother and I started fishing these tourneys last fall and had a lot of fun. We are younger and were hoping to get into this pretty heavy. We fished Patoka, Shelbyville, and Decatur and would have fished Mississinewa if my brother didn't have baseball games. The payout wasn't that great but the chance to qualify for the regional and win a new ranger was worth it. Then they cut that out. I wish someone would start a new association that was simplified. I understand you are going to have overhead but some of the other facets are unnecessary. And what would be wrong with having more than one boating sponsor, they are all starting to make crappie boats, let each one give out a boat at a tourney instead of having a cup that a handful of people can compete in.
