just fished the walleye competion placed 30 not that good but when the results came in said i was 54th place this is the second time this has happend anybody else having this problem

Pay attention to the competition info.

Many comps have more open time then they do scoring time. For instance open till will be 2hours while scoring time is 60min.

If you play your 60min of scoring prior to the end of the open time then what you are seeing at the end is not the final score.

dont follow a comp has a start and a end time when its over its over 60 mins is the same for everyone so whats this 2 hrs ur on about

[jeff1963]

The Competition window is 2 hours, say 7-9 AM you might have fished between 7-8 AM, other people may have fished between 8-9 AM.

Everybody gets a scoring time of 60m ,but you can skip as much time as you want from the 2 hours.For example you can start after1 hour 40 minutes but you will have only 20 minutes scoring time.

Just because you have finished, doesnt mean every body has. Some people do not start the comp until perhaps an hour after you, so they finish later than you do and later than the results you have read when you've finished Only when the comp time ends completely does the final score tally count. If you finish a comp 1st and there is still half an hour left of the total running time of that comp, some players may stil be playing who started later than you and so could knock you off 1st place by the time they end.

Comp total running time for players to complete their 30 minutes is 2 hours, I can start mine as soon as it begins, others 30 minutes later, others 1 hour later. Until the complete 2 hours running time has run out and all players have had their 30 minutes fishing times, the resusts you see do not mean a thing.

Go look for them....
SO much info out there about this game. The people coming in top place have put in the hours to do so, both in research and practice.

[chopper ice]

i understand thanks for the comments

I think some folks wait for the last block of time to see what score they need to beat. That allows them to avoid the "race" aspect of the event.

Personally I'd like the event to be one time slot, give or take a few minutes for obvious reasons, but to have a choice to see other scores before you ever start your time is a bit of an advantage I think.

Small matter, but I've noticed it.

If you see how many events the top 10 guys fish you'd easily understand that they have put in the time to be at that level. They shouldn't just shortcut others to their level (for competitions). Getting wins these days means you have to be in the game all the time.

Even if you do better than you've ever done in a normal fishing day, there's still a good chance you won't break the top 10. That's in all events. Originally there were some fringe events that only a few people entered so you had a better shot, now you see 140 people enter and the same few people win all the time with some scattering of straggler wins.

Go look at the leaderboards for wins and see how many events they enter. Some have 400+ events under their belts. How many do you have?
