“High Rollers” Option Pot”

The “High Rollers” pot is an OPTION pot that will be available on the day of the event – ONLY AT REGISTRATION TIME, that allows anglers “feeling lucky” to make extra cash at this event.

• “High Rollers” option pot fee is: $10

“High Rollers” option pot money is paid out to only the top 3 participants that are registered in the “High Rollers” Option pot - before the event begins. So, for example, if a total of 50 anglers pay into the “High Rollers” Option pot, there would be $500 of “High Rollers” money available to win. That money would then be split amongst the 3 highest finishing anglers – registered in the High Roller option pot, at the following ratios: 50% (1st place), 30% (2nd Place), 20% (3rd Place).
