Consider my interest piqued. I wonder why the lakes are all out east.

I didn't see a list of lakes.

Link to it doesn't work for me.

But If the lakes are out East I can speculate it is because they already have tournaments for Stripers so the anglers and formats are more in place. I would say its a testing grounds for BPS to see if it can take off and if so it could spread.

Based off experience though I doubt it, I have seen people try to start up these tournaments in the past but can never get them off the ground as the specialization in equipment and knowledge is not as well known for the average angler as BASS fishing is.

Weird,

They've taken the website down since yesterday. The tab you see called "maps" in the screenshot above showed a list of lakes they had identified as possible tourney sites. Mostly all the big striper lakes in the SE.
