He finished 4th in his group on the BPT yesterday. Assuming he is bolting and heading to the classic. They have to be present for the official meeting and practice day tomorrow I believe?

interesting question. Why did he even fish the first two days at Douglas?
I thought they can't miss days and that is why he missed some of okachobee.
If he doesn't fish tomorrow he will be fined a significant amount of money. At least that is what they were going to do to Birge last year.
That being said this is a new year, and they pick and choose, change their minds, change the rules so often who the hell knows what they will do to him. He's bolting for the Classic so they might ban him for life and remove every essence of his existence past, present, and future from the MLF/BPT.
I dont think he thought this through
I get the same impression. When he first went on BTL and said he would fish both, Matt pointed out the MANY conflicts and Poche acted like he had just heard about them for the first time. And since he missed an Elite event, he probably won’t qualify for the classic and if he leaves a BPT event when he should still be fishing, he’ll supposedly get fined or worse. I just don’t see if working out financially unless his sponsors are ponying up the money and hoping the added coverage and “drama” around the thing will increase their brands.

Why would I fish for $100K when I could fish for $300K?
He's guaranteed $10K for making the knockout round.

the "experts" of BBC are baffled. A question no one can answer. Hell just froze over.
