* Q: Are there options? …and how do they work?

* Q: What’s the payback percentages?
A: This event features a simple and easy-to-calculate PURE 80% payback, at a 1 in 5 ratio.
* Q: Why is the payback not 100%?
A: Angler's Press Outdoors is hosting a competition, which takes a good size staff to ensure that it is run in a smooth and organized manner. Therfore, it is only reasonable and fair, that each person on staff be PAID appropriately for their time and hours worked. The 20% "hold back" helps ensure that these staff members are paid, and other expenses are handled.

A: No, it is not necessary to charge the angler this fee, as the cost to insure the event is only appx $50 dollars.
