    How will BPT handle information sharing?

    Angler A and B are rooming together. They share practice info. Angler A fishes Day One and whacks them. Angler B is fishing Day Two. What keeps A from sharing with B in the new format?

    Nothing. Since this is reality TV, maybe they will plant a GoPro in their room.

    It will probably be part of the "reality" aspect

    With the anglers building this im willing to bet a goal is to lessen the pain in the ass rules. So I doubt they go to crazy

    What two consenting "Highly Compensated Adult Professional Bass Fisherman" do in the privacy of their own room should not be the concern of anybody else or be subject to an archaic set of rules that nobody ever pays attention to anyway.

    It's a Television Entertainment so the mystique of that possibly happening is just another part of their equation to attract publicity along with viewers and it seems to be working.

    Everyone breaks that rule anyway at every level of competition. Seen it plenty of times in Opens and Costas

    Why do some folks worry about things that will have absolutely no affect on them?

    Because one of the things I like most about MLF is that it evens the playing field. Put them on a lake with no practice and no chance to get info and see how they figure it out. The new trail with practice and the scenario I presented takes away that aspect. Curiosity is not the same as worry.

    Because the Lounge would only have "Let's open the bar" threads and "Does this make me look fat" threads... And only about 100 members...

    This is what I liked most about it also.

    If BPT is anything like MLF then there is no practice...it's all part of the anything can happen hype.

    What other pro sport disallows information? These guys are the pro level who cares what information they get or use. They still have to catch them. It's enteratinment at my level I like to see them catch fish. Even if a guy finds them on their own you susans that cant handle that other folks are much more talented than you will still claim they got information and could in know way be good enough to figure it out.
