Get5 Retracts Deadline on "Double Dipping"

I received some advice today from an angler (through a friend) who fishes
FOM events, and I thought his idea made a lot of sense. The angler
suggested that I was being too hasty by setting an immediate deadline for
not posting the tournament results from events where double dipping
(fishing two or more tournaments at once, on the same day and weighing
the bass on two or more seperate sets of scales) is allowed. The angler
suggested that I collect as many opinions as possible regarding double
dipping and come to a final decision no sooner than January 1st, 2011. The
Angler was right. I was too hasty and I made a mistake. I would like to
invite every reader to voice their opinions on double dipping. If you support
the idea of double dipping send me an email. If you don't support the idea,
send me an email. You can also send your opinions about why you like or
dislike the idea of double dipping. Please send all views regarding this topic
to frank@get5bass.com. By late fall, I hope to have collected many
opinions on this issue. I am going to form a committee with several anglers,
in hopes that they can help me make the best decision possible on this
issue. Until January 1st (and possibly thereafter), we will accept and
post all tournament results provided to us.


Sincerely,

Frank Leone
