Thats Understandable just seems that you wouldn't want your first multiple day bay in the same month as the biggest bay of the year. A lot of money to be out paying pen help and buying stuff for the concession stand just to have a small gathering is all I was getting at.
With a nice pen, people are gonna show up. If its a big payout, more people and better dogs are gonna show up. More people and better dogs mean better competition. Sounds like a great warm up for the biggest bay in the world.
All that being said...."Added Money" is a good incentive to insure a large turnout. If you could get a good cash sponsor you've got it made.
