Most readers of this site have noticed that we have not updated the information for a couple of months and we appologize. But, We were at a point during the season that information stopped getting to us on time and we felt that it would not be beneficial to report on an event a week or so late. This was not a result of any tournament directors fault but a direct result of not having the appropriate resources to attend each event throughout the 2008 season. This is where we need your help. If you like this site and what we are attempting to do, and want to see it continue.  We need responsible individual volunteers that have an interest in attending each of the four main tournament trails in 2009 and who would like to give us a first hand report of the results at each tournament. You do not need to be an outdoor journalist or a professional photographer to reply. A good quality digital camera and a pad and pencil is all you need. Also, businessess that are interesed in advertizing with Bassindy.com we want to hear from you as well. What a better way to reach your target audience than advertizing on Indiana's only online tournament resource. You can contact me by e-mail at bassindy@comcast.net we look forward to hearing from you !
