USA Bassin nationally has a 70% cash payback on all divisional tournaments. Directors work very hard to gather together prizes to off set the other 30%. In 2007 and 2008 USA Bassin New England paid back in ALL divisional events and the Regional Championship over 100% in cash and prizes. Prizes have included in the past fishing rods, tackle, lures, sports tickets, tackle shop gift certificates, extra cash money from Toyota and gift certificates from Bass Pro Shops. After all prizes are received, by March, directors will be able to distribute prizes breakouts. Our goal in New England is to continue our work with our current and new partnerships to provide ample prizes at each of our forty events. The other 30% is broke out per entry as follows: 10% ($5) to the directors to cover any expenses they have and 20% ($10) to national to help pay for boats and engines for our Classic and organizational expenses. Lunker is 100% payback for a single lunker per event. Thank you, William Schwarz USA Bassin NE Regional Director 207-893-2266
