The current economic downturn has had a sobering effect on much of the marine industry. Similarly, Pro Angler tournament competitors have been forced to more closely watch their expenses in relation to the potential event payouts.
In light of these economic realities, AIM and its Board of Directors has accepted the input of the AIM Owners/Members in revising the payout schedule for the 2010 AIM Pro Walleye Series™ to accomplish three main objectives:
1. Guarantee a first place prize of not less than $30,000 for each tournament.
2. Guarantee that the lowest place paid will be not less than $3,000 for each
tournament.
3. Continue to guarantee a minimum 100% payback of entry fees.
Scott Matheson, AIM President and CEO reported, “Both the Board and our owners felt that it was crucial to provide the highest possible return on investment for the 2010 AIM Pro Walleye Series™. The first place winner will receive $30,000, at the same time we have increased the payouts at every position in the remainder of the field. In fact, the lowest payout will be $3,000 – which is double the entry fee to insure that both the Pro’s entry and other key expenses are covered when the Pro finishes in the money.”
The payout amounts are variable depending on the number of entries per event. Examples of the payouts for several entry levels are displayed below:
Place 75 Entries 100 Entries 150 Entries
1 $30,000 $30,000 $30,000
