i agree with the artificial rule. Every single bass tournament I've ever fished in has been artificial only. And if we set rules, we need to stick with them. No changing the end dates, no changing pic requirments, etc. If you dont follow the rules, theres no point in having them at all. But all that said, I wont be running it this year, dont have the time between work and the 30 or so tournaments I'll be in this year.
