The Dash for Cash Bream IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

 

 Change to format based upon feedback

There is a key challenge of meeting everyone’s expectations in delivering comps to the public. So please see this late change as an attempt to get this right and meet the majority so that we have a good turn up on the day. Please understand it is impossible to keep everyone happy in this case we have responded to the majority of the feedback received. Firstly I would like to thank everyone for their input it is appreciated. We received a lot of responses to our call for feedback coming into our website, email facebook and by phone so thanks.

The major reason I went out to you all for feedback is when I sat down to do the payout schedule based on 2 categories I wasn’t happy with the outcome. The philosophy of the Dash for Cash is to have a worthwhile payout, some of you say the comp has been too expensive to fish while others say put the price up to enhance a bigger cash pool. We have dropped the price compared to our last 3 years for this event and this was in response to the majority.

The 2 category concept was aimed at trying to attempt a broader field to the event unfortunately it made the payouts low and there was also a number of anomalies people picked up on. Which included assigning classic places to both fields  eg: someone in one category could miss out whilst some in the other gets a place with a smaller bag. We are therefore abandoning the 2 category concept as it is just  unworkable. In response to encouraging smaller boats and levelling the playing field we will be having the same boundaries as the Easter bream (see below) this again was the overwhelming majority.

It seems most people really like our Gold Coast Easter Bream format which attracts a broad range of anglers from beginners to tournie regulars, small boats to large. As a result we will be running the Dash for Cash as follows:

Cost $220.00 per team $20, entry $10 per head for Subway Lunch, Drinks and venue (this is a reduction with last year Costing $260)

Top 10% placegetters receiving Classic Grand Final places

Boundary The boundaries will be the same as the Easter Bream Russell Island Power Lines to Nerang river thus minimising the perceived advantage of bigger boats getting to the bay.  (Over 70% of our feedback specifically on the boundary supported this). This also makes it a truly Gold Coast Comp.

Teams: 2 per team and can include u/16 however u/16 cannot qualify for Classic Grand Final

Payout

1-2 Boats 100% prize pool goes to 1^st (this is an unlikely scenario)

3-20 Boats Pays 1^st to 3^rd  (this is a change based on feedback we used to pay only  1st-3rd for a 1-30 Boat Field) 1^st 50% 2^nd 30% and 3^rd 20% of Prize Pool

21 Boats and Upwards we will pay to 1^st– 5^th  1^st 40% 2^nd 30% 3^rd 15% 4^th 10% 5^th 5% of Prize Pool

This is a different distribution to previous Dash for Cashes that see a more even distribution (similar to Easter bream) rather than 1^st being ‘stacked’ this is also in response to feedback. Majority of feedback on payout wanted a 1-5 payout this is not really viable with 20 boats or less. (We previously had a 1^st -3^rd  payout for up to 30 Boats)

Most of all to keep this event going we need your support More boats = More Cash
