No different from any other sport that uses a bracket format (tennis, pool,
ncaa basketball etc). How bout that $500k prize though!

This big tournament just finished up and the winner got $500,000. I have
been
reading about it, trying to figure it out. It was a bracket tournament -
the 48
pros were paired up, first to last, second to 47th and so on. They were
not in
the same boat but competed against each other's weights.

If I have it figured right, after two days the winner of each pair moved
on to
the next day. So, your total weighed did not matter. You could catch one
bass
weighing 1 pound and move on if your paired pro did not catch a fish,
even if
the other 46 pros had over 20 pounds each. Seems like a strange way to do
it to
me!
