That is correct! It's the best news we've gotten since this all started. Definitely a step in the right direction. Anyone that is owed $$$ needs to text Paul and give him your full name address and amounts owed and from what events.

Just spoke with Paul. First off, hats off to this guy. He doesn’t have to do this but for the sake of his name and future dealings with the anglers he is trying to help us on his own time. THANK YOU Paul.
So he’s not bombarded with phone calls I suggest you just text him your full name, address (not PO Box) and an explanation of what is owed: tournament finish, dollar amount, deposits, etc.
No one is certain yet how it shakes out as far as percentage of payment so don’t spend that money before you get it

Hope this isn't a SCAM! Plenty of scammers out there ready to pounce on people! I hope this is Legit, but sounds hokey when you read it.

He doesn't already know who is owed… tournament finish ect… where’s all the paper work/ computer programs ect ect. He’s going to pay off a text message…. I hope everyone is paided because this kind of stuff is so bad for our sport.. but this sounds odd…

I was also shocked I had to send my info in…. It’s all crazy and a huge bummer for everyone involved. Banjo league stuff right
I kind of want some or all of the money I EARNED so I sent it in. Anyone else should do the same. Paul was the TD though and wants to help us if he can as he will most likely be around with the next organization. He’s a legit person who knows what SHOULD be done.
Now….if we could just all get on the same page and have pro-ams and team tournaments with more than 100boats every event we’d have something again on the West. Skeptical we’ll see that in ‘24 and there’s no way to organize the angler base so we’ll just sit back and see what happens and complain about it on the internet…

I got a call on Thursday from Paul Hodges (former TD) on behalf of WWBT. He is not a scam.
If you are owed money, people should call him. You can get information straight from Paul who is helping WWBT reconcile this terrible situation.
Here is his cell number

So a TD is going to be in charge of paying the anglers? Where is the owner hiding? Very odd

Paul is just trying to help the fisherman by getting all the Info, And then turning it over to the lawyers so they can take the legal steps for us to get paid. It's all been turn over to the Lawyers now!!! Is that clear enough for you guys Now!!!!

Why would anybody have to give an affiliate their information to that league. What attorney would ask a rep of the league to gather info. They would have the info themselves brought by a defendant
Hope everyone gets paid…

I feel sorry for all the anglers giving there hard earned money to and org that turn around and go under in a short amount of time they were in business. I'm guessing poor management got to them in the end.
There two ways Wild West can go file chapter 7 or chapter 11 I'm sure they would use and go with chapter 7 to protect themselves from anymore legal action in court. All creditors would be sign off by the court if approved by a judge. In the future. Good luck getting your money back.
