I'd say Phoenix oughtta start organizing one somewhere in the central region of the country. Norman isn't really situated for a big turnout and thus, true owner's tournament. I bet we will see a real tournament organized by the company sooner rather than later.
We've been saying that same thing for a few years now. And We've had a couple "centrally" located.

At this time Phoenix isn't on board with this but I do have a Dealer involved and the equipment to handle a large tournament. The Ramp will park 142 boats and the one across the street another 96. Yes this one will be an eastern tournament but its also central from North to South and there are more than enough Owners in the surrounding states to make up a huge tournament. I agree there should be central, a western and one Just for Texas, I hoping if we can pull off a successful tournament and get some sponsors on board that maybe in the near future Phoenix will want to get involved. Im working on a few connections but it will take some time. I plan on making this a very professional event but at the same time it all about a bunch of up getting together and having a good time.
Also it has be mentioned that we may have to call the tournament by another name besides Phoenix Owners Tournament, Although Phoenix isn't backing this at this time I would prefer not to upset anyone, they are some good folks there, so maybe just a Eastern Divisional Bird Rally or something, maybe we can have 4 divisionals and Phoenix will jump and and have one big Championship.
Just throwing stuff out there.
for all of you that are interested in this one keep the post coming or PM me if you want to be involved or have good connections
Thanks

We still have to remember that Phoenix is still a very young company and is still investing a lot back into its "brand". They've said they want to have one in the future, just don't know when the future is. Once they finally do one id say it'll be done right.

You get 50 boats signed up and paid I'll be boat 51.
I will tell you this has been tried in the past and everyone is on board until
its time to fish. Then you end up with a hand full of boats showing up. I believe
you won't see a good turn out unless you get the factory behind it.
The first one I went to was at Guntersville was supposed to be 2 day event
first day maybe 12 boats second day 6 boats couple left before weigh in.
Mark and Greg from Phoenix did show up and fished on Saturday.
The second one was at Kentucky Lake same thing a lot of interest until it was time
to show up may have been 15 boats day one. a few dropped out for day 2.
One thing I do remember the weather Sucked.
Also if I recall correctly there was some type of issue using the term "Phoenix tournament"
from someone at Phoenix. I tried to do a search but can't find the post about it.
I think there was one in hot springs Arkansas the following year don't know how that went.
Anybody know how many boats showed up for that one?

With regard to Ky, the weather was absolutely awful and we probably shouldn't have fished it was so bad. There were quite a few that lived close that didn't come because it was dangerous out there that first day. Two or three speared waves.
But yea that is how it has gone in the past. It'll take time. Were starting to get a lot more boats around the country too which will help.
