$350 + + is for wildcard divsion.
The sentiment last year was people wanted to fish for bigger money . That comes from two things
A) Bigger Fields
b) Bigger Entry Fees
If the $5000 1st place guarantee works out like it did for the Canada/US Walleye did this year for turn out ... $420 per team for a shot at $10,000 seems reasonable.
I'm interested to see how the entries for the Wildcard division goes ... as entries were down this year in the Wildcards. And the reintroduction of the Wildcards as a "tour" ... stellar! $5,000 guarantee at each WC has the potential to draw more teams, creating a deeper pool and fruitful paybacks.
