Just for the record, my comments were meant for Crappie tournaments in general, not specifically this church tournament. I'm in favor of making tournaments more competitive for anglers of all skill levels, regardless of equipment as it once was. Boat size wasn't a factor, electronics not much of a factor, neither were poles or nets for that matter. Just anglers out trying to catch a nice mess of fish the best they know how. If they weren't successful, they still had the awards dinner, and prize drawings to look forward to after the fishing was done.
