verry cool first of all. next
kens to ansewer your question about what is with the teams that got blanked.
as a frequent tourney competer i can tell you there are days when you cant catch big enough fish to win or place.
that being said if you are not invested in the whole trail but just a couple events, then you are not trying to accumluate points for the season ending championship,
then what reason do you have to stand in line with your bag of fish that has no chance of winning any money? ansewer none so... they dump the fish they did catch put the boat on the trailer and either head home or relax and watch the weighin.
either way if you know your bag isnt good enough there is no reason to put the fish through anymore than they've anready gone thru. so you dump them.
thats the long ansewer.
short ansewer is no one got blanked they just choose not to weigh them.
