The December 1st early bird deadline is fast approaching and we want you to be in the early bird draw. 2014 was an incredible year and we are very much looking forward to 2015, our 20th anniversary year.
When we proudly display our percentage payout at annual general meeting, some questions are not always asked and this can lead to some misinformation. Our goal each and every year is to do better than the previous. 2014 set the bar very high but rest assured, our goal is to offer a series all members can be proud of and want to be part of.
In 2014, the five qualifiers and Classic XIX cash payouts totaled $68,200 and when including the Classic prize obligation the total represents 95.3% of the entry fees for series registered teams. Adding the Classic prize Ranger Boat/Evinrude BRP ($55,000) and Evinrude BRP Team of the Year prize ($5000) the percentage of payout is 158.27%.
The 2014 contingency prizes from Shimano, G.Loomis, Ranger Boats/Evinrude BRP & OBWS through the Ranger Cup program, Yokohama Tire and Goldwing Autocare, Rhodes & Williams Insurance, Berkley, Motorguide, Lowrance and Navionics had $47,000 available in cash and prizes. Through these contingency programs Renegade Bass paid out $33,000+ in cash and prizes in 2014. When factoring these winnings, Renegade Bass paid an astonishing 200+% in 2014.
