Just so you know the priority deadline has passed. You won’t get priority even if you sign up with a pro at this point. I just called and talked to Sonny Reynolds yesterday about this.
I signed up last Friday (Feb 13) by myself when I realized the priority deadline had passed to sign up with a boater. When I talked to Sonny yesterday he said I was 18th on the list, meaning 18 more pros have to sign up before I will get in. He was fairly optimistic I would be able to get in. He wouldn’t tell me exactly how many boaters have signed up but he said it was about half full, meaning about 75 boaters have signed up.
If people haven’t signed up I would do it now. No sense in waiting with the priority deadline passing. I asked If I could receive priority entry when the boater I had originally planned on signing up with registered for the tournament and he said no. Apparently after the priority deadline passes all entries are time and date stamped and co-anglers are considered entered when enough pros sign up. In my case I need 18 more to sign up and I will be in.
