Well,
Here is the latest on the JLB OPen 08. This tournament is in honor of JohnyLongBlades and is being held to raise money for his Memorial fund. This has been set up by his family to help teach children to dive and fish SAFELY.

I hope it doesn't interfere with anyone's plans. This will be a Great tournament for years to come, join us for the First One and we'll make it a weekend to remember.

Look forward to your questions and comments. Registration will be open in May!! All paperwork will be available here. See attached for more details!

Dude, I can set up a hosting account and install a worpress blog in about 5 minutes

and you can pretty much run the whole website from an admin panel that comes with in the install, throw a image or logo for a header and you pretty much have a working website

and if you want it designed pretty at some point you can just edit the theme of the blog

Thanks Tony! I am only partly responsible. I worked closely with mike and his shirt printer. I will have decals available soon. We will probably have an account set up with the proceeds going to the memorial fund.

"Keezdiver,

travis....i'm fine with the way it is now.

i was just wondering if there would be a cap on points like at the SBO? that way as far as "grand champ" you get a max of 20 points per fish. levels the playing field in my opinion.

otherwise its possible a single 200lb warsaw could win the whole thing.

not saying THAT's not an achievment...its just harder for the smaller guy to rack points.
