I was with you on this when I first heard of slot tournaments, but somebody explained it to me and it made a bit of sense. In a slot tournament, you have to catch ALOT of fish, and then weed through them to find the fattest. Measures your ability to go out and put up big numbers of fish (without just offloading a fishbox full). The thought is that with regular tournaments, one random big fish can basically end it. It is supposed to take a bit of the luck factor out of it, as you can't just have someone hit the one big fish of their life and win the whole tournament.
I don't know if that's the better way to run a tourney, but at least I understand why a bit now.
