I’m kinda scratching my head at that. Are all the live events going to be during the week or just certain rounds? I figure the real growth is to be had in getting people to watch the live events, and that’s gonna have to be on weekends. I’m guessing once they’ve trimmed down the field they’ll be live this weekend for the championship?

Yes I believe your right. From what I saw during the broadcast yesterday it was 8 events over 6 days. Don’t recall if that was in a row or not.

Yeah. I keep thinking that they took the most enjoyable outdoor production ever and ruined it

Can someone please explain the format? I am so confused about the "rules" of the Tournament and declaring champions, the different types of events, etc.

I looked on their website but do not see it.

Can’t watch tofu but monitoring it through here and the score tracker. Had some big fish caught this morning.

Seems like overall numbers are up compared to this time yesterday.

I still don't mind it, but its not the outdoor channel broadcast that I grew to love last year. I just keep it up on one of my monitors and glance over when I can.

I think they said it only took 30 minutes for Hackney to put a 6+ in the boat.

rballa clarified this yesterday in this thread a few pages back:
quote:

I don't think a lot of people understand that this is completely separate from the Cup and Select events. This won't be the shows that air on the Outdoor Channel, these are live Professional Tour tournaments just like BASS and FLW. The cup events will be filmed and edited and put on TV the same as they have been in the past. We won't know who wins the ones that happen this year until next year. However we will know who wins each BPT event the moment it happens.

Yea I saw that but that still doesn't give us the details of the format.

I think they have butchered this to be honest. As a bass fisherman and someone who used to fish bass Tx's from time to time I understand why the anglers wanted more say so in events but what was wrong with the B.A.S.S. tx format?

I like the idea of having a marshal in the boat weighing and releasing fish right away but not sure I like the idea of all fish count. Is this the way all the Selects will be or just certain ones?

I like the MLF format of the cup in the off season like in previous years and glad that is staying.

I have no idea how an "Angler of the year/champion" is determined if there is one.
I have no idea if the Select anglers will fish the cups and vise versa
I have no idea if cups and selects will count toward crowning a Champion
I have no idea what groups 1 and 2 mean
I have no idea how many days of fishing is the select tx's
I have no idea what the 6 days of fishing will consist of.
I have no idea if "The biggest fish" is rewarded in a side prize

I just think they didn't do a good job of explaining the new format and still have nothing a fan can go read to explain.
