There problem with that lies in the fact that, whichever way they go to try and hold it to the long weekend, they will lose either the coast/creek guys or the offshore guys. In the past they have reschedule it to weekends after. So, I think they will do the same or they will lose out on entry fees big time.
Feel sorry for them, its not an easy decision to have to make, someone always ends up getting the short end.. Its a really big gamble anyway, not know what mother nature is going to throw at us..

yeah its hard Easter a flop yet brilliant weather a few days later now this for the last week you could go out in a canoe up come the competition than bad. you just cant beat it definitely bosses weather.
If they had any brains they's postpone it, especially from a safety perspective, not just through a loss of nominations.
20knts plus is way too rough for the majority of boats in Tsv, leaving only the big rich bloke game boats that will be perhaps safe enough to venture out. given the prizes, both goods and cash, that is available, its enough motivation for some people to head out in some hellish conditions, rememeber, a person is smart, but people are stupid.
Either way, they will lose some entrants, but they will lose more if they want to persevere with this weekend than if they postponed it. If they don't postpone, I highly doubt that I'll end up entering.
I just spoke to the bloke on the info sheet. They are seriously considering postponing it this weekend due to weather, but they are still undecided as to whether they will still hold noms tomorrow arvo if this is the case. In all likely hood, it will be next weekend.
He also said, that if it doesn't happen this weekend, next weekend will be it, if it blows up again, it will still be happening, though he has been in close contact with the bom, and they seems to think this high that is causing all the wind will be gone by next weekend, giving us good weather.
Anouncements will be made on Sea FM (now Zinc Fm) on 100.7 regarding the competitions and sign on. Graham, when i find out for sure, I'll give you a ring so you don't drive up here for nothing. I should know by about lunchtime.
Scott, can you post it up on here, I'll be working on my spa and won't have the radio on....
Yeah, Yeah, when the weather cools, it'll be beers in the heated spa and a bbq at my place...

Well its officially been postponed until next weekend. I heard it on the radio this arv, on the way home from work
Registration will occur NEXT friday the 8th May. Also, the comp will be shortened so that weigh in will be on the Sunday.
The tournament will NOT be postponed again, next weekend is it, rain, hail, shine or cyclone. Townsville Game Fishing club urges everyone to use their head and consider their own and others safety if it blows up.

this weekend is looking just as bad, we really need the high in the bight to f'off to make for some calmer conditions, dunno what happened with the Bom's theory that it would head east out to sea and things would calm down, now it looks like its going to sit there and get stronger throughout the week. It might be another year I don't enter at this rate.
Remember folks, this weekend is it, it will not be postponed again for reasons unknown. If you do end up entering, use your head and stay in the creeks.
My boats staying in the yard, no chances
BTW when has the BOM ever been right????
