We have long favored a full Pro Series for teams. Though with the present tournament climate and gross variances in events, we have not yet settled in on a format. The timing was right for such an event last year, and the year before, though now we have other Pro Am events clawing to grow. We are still in discussions on a format for Pro Teams, though not a Pro Am. We feel teams better allow a pair of anglers to share large entry fees, housing arrangements, fuel expenses and more that Pro Am formats do not allow. It just makes more sense than a draw Pro Am, non boater to boater format in todays climates. The largest weekend events are team events, so why not a Pro format. The sharing of a $1,000 entry fee would be the goal. We have considered this format for events and trails from Alabama and Mississippi to Texas. We may even enjoin those into one group for a Championship, though we are a long ways from offering this format. Things have taken a back seat to other obstacles which were not planned on. Though we are serious on the large entry fee for a team trail, and we think either a $1,000 to $1,200 entry is the goal. We know more teams would participate in an event with an entry fee from $600 to $900, though payback is more beneficial in the larger entry fees. Any Thought? BCB
