It is their tournament and as most things in this world work just follow the money. If it does what they want this year they won't change it, if it does'nt they will end or adjust it. Each of us is free to vote with our dollars by entering or not.

I do have a question: Was there an entry fee for the Schaefer?

I'm not entering for a number of reasons, because living in VT its too far for me to have good odds, there is no surf division and I have some other things I don't like about the rules.

Then again I don't buy lottery tickets either and Hopefully I'll catch a 80# fish this year because I did'nt enter.

No there was no entry fee for schaefer but you had to be registered by a certain point in the year and yes of course clubs can and could create there own set of "rules within the rules" for their participation.

Schaefer spent an untold amount of dough putting it on and had a staff with a director just to run it. It got to be too much for them. Back then the public sentement towards drinking, beer advertising and such was much more favorable and they were making money hand over fist.
