If your running a tournament. Don’t you think it looks bad when you draw numbers at your house the night before and you happened to draw a low number. I’m not saying anybody cheated , but to me that just doesn’t look right.
And why wouldn’t you draw the morning of??
I would voice your concern to the tourney director. If you get a response you don’t like, you should let him know and inform him that’ll be the last time you fish their tourney. Any future info coming from you wouldn’t be positive.
Accusations of cheating can get ugly(I’m not saying you accused anyone of cheating 
). If it looked bad in your eyes, I’m sure it looked bad in other people’s eyes. I might point that out to the tourney director. 
Glacier Lake Division draws the night of deadline to be in the drawing. There is one staff boat and the director fishes, the staff and the director alternate doing take offs, every other event. So spot # 4 is designated “staff” and last place at each event. The reason we do it this way is to stream line check-in and less work to set up.
PitBull, if the director is drawing there own #er who is doing there take off?
Many tournaments the numbers are drawn days ahead. It helps things go more smoothly the morning of the tournament. Plus…it provides incentive for guys to get their money in early and helps eliminate those who may decide to fish,depending on how their prefishing went.
A few years back Hesse was running the Silverado pro-am. Somehow his son(fishing as an amatuer) always ended up with the best guys. Now it may have just been coincedence….but it did cause many guys to wonder.
Bottom line is this. The tournament director needs to run a fair tournament and do everything to eliminate the rumors. Otherwise guys will not fish his tournaments any longer.
Pitbull…..what tournament trail are you talking about? The guy may not even be aware of how it looks.
I run my own tournanemts and fish in them as well. I draw the order the night before the tournament, but I’m always the last boat out and the 1st one back. Who conducts the take off if the person in charge is included in the draw and gets to leave early?

Cade, how can you even talk about “my spot” 
. I used to fish with you so I know what your deal is. Example(s)1. we were out in your boat fishing (a few years ago) and you got a hit that broke your line, I casted over there and you flipped out. the same day the same thing happened to me ,except the fish snagged up my crank, you casted over and caught one and thought nothing of it. 2. One day at kirchners pond you asked if you could try out my new reel for a couple of casts and i let you. So i picked up yours and casted out and hooked one on the first cast. You droped my rod and took yours back and claimed it as your fish and even posted the pic of the slab gill on this site. 3. The “baby bass spot”. we had been fishing this spot quite succesfully, as in you and me, while andy had caught nothing. you had like 20 some fish on shore while I had like 11 or 12 or something you stopped fishing for a few minutes to chang lures and andy walked over to where you were fishing and took a few casts. as soon as he caught one you yelled at him and calimed it as “your spot”. These were just 3 of many examples.
Point is Cade, you are the last person that can ever talk about “my spot” I don’t care how much trouble i cause or how much hate mail I get about this post. I know I’m right about this, and any one who disagrees should take Cade fishing for a few days and see for yourselves.
wrong forum
i’ll fix it
