Some very interesting choices.    2 events in Florida, New York, Texas, and no Clear Lake or the Delta.   I didn't see that happening with the record being set out there this year, but maybe they're just alternating lakes.   I bet they return in 2009 to Cali, or maybe the Classic will be out there some day.

Biggest one of all, Iowa,    Anybody know where Iowa is?     LOL.

I really love the schedule! My dad and I will probably end up going to the Kentucky Lake or Wheeler tournament. One downside though is that they are dropping the three majors > I really enjoy the 6 hole course format and the exciting weigh-ins. But overall I think they did a really good job.

I will be at the Kentucky Lake one.  Hopefully as a co=angler :  I liked the Majors as well but I can see there point on the events. It would be hard to pay that out three times a year.

I have to say that I am really dissapointed in the schedule  I was really hoping they would expand on the western swing.  The Columbia River system deserves an Elite series event.  

I know where Iowa is.  This event is on my home stretch of water. Pool 19.  I am stoked about it.  Can't believe the small town of Ft. Madison got this pulled off.  I never figured I would get an elite series event near me let alone on my home water.  Randy
