Central Pro Am Tournament Cancelled For This Weekend

Due to dramatic changes in the weather forecast for this weekend Central Pro Am has cancelled their Tournament on Lake of the Ozarks for December 7 & 8, 2013.
Weather forecasters are calling for significant amounts of freezing rain, sleet and snow with single digit temperatures from Thursday morning through the weekend. Wind speeds averaging between 5 – 15 MPH will result in wind chill values around zero daily. Once temperatures drop below freezing on Wednesday they will not be above freezing until Monday afternoon.
“Our greatest concern is our anglers.” CPAA Owner Mike Webb said. “As much as we want to have the tournament, the forecast is calling for dangerous weather conditions and we can’t take the chance of anyone being injured on the water or on the road.”
“We’ve been watching several weather forecasts for the last 48 hours and it has gone from bad to worse.” Webb added. “We wanted to make the call as early as possible so our anglers could cancel their lodging and travel arrangements.”
The tournament will be rescheduled sometime after the first of the year and an announcement will released soon.
Anglers wishing to receive a refund for their entry or deposit are asked to email tournament@centralpro-am.com otherwise all entries and deposits will be credited to any upcoming tournament including the team event on 12/15/13.
“Situations like this are frustrating; I know we won’t make everyone happy by cancelling the event but we have to put the safety of our anglers and staff before other concerns.” Webb said.
