Ratman's Amateur Bass Tournament Series (RABTS) will hold twenty one, three hour tournaments this spring and summer. We were fortunate enough to attract enough sponsor interest to offer five (5) Tournaments that will have a $500 first place guarantee.
To keep this fair to our loyal anglers that fish each week with us, we are setting some very minimal participation rules for the $500 guarantee to be in effect.
The following dates have been selected as the $500 guaranteed 1st place events.
(followed by the participation for eligibility.)
If you have questions feel free to ask!
April 10th anyone that enters the tournament can win the $500.
May 15th ( must have fished 2 RABTS TX)
June 12th (must have fished 4 RABTS TX)
July 17th (Must have fished 6 RABTS TX)
August 14th (Must have fished 8 RABTS TX)
At least one angler in the winning boat must the criteria listed above to be eligible for the $500 guaranteed first place. If neither of the winning boats anglers meet this criteria the 1st place pay out will be limited to the 1st place share of the entry fees.
How the guarantee works.
A pool of sponsor dollars will be used to offset the difference between the entry fee share of first place and the $500 guarantee.
For example:
30 boats enter the tournament:
The 1st place entry fee share will be $375.
$125 of sponsor money would be added to the 1st place payout to bring it up to the $500 guarantee.
