One and only way to level it is to put a cap. Have S-B.com have several teams if they have so many members. Have a S-B.com Team 1, Team 2, etc. and possibly start a calcutta between the several S-B.com teams as a side competition. Putting a cap is not limiting participants . . . you can still fish the tournament as an angler. Putting a cap will create more teams, more participants.

I disagree with a cap. It’s a fun tournament with good competition. As far as the teams go, it’s a trophy only prize. If there were substantial dollar value prizes for the teams, I would agree with you. S-B has a lot of users, but based primarily out of Mass/RI. That's where all of our landings come from, and they are all shore fish.
Technically, you are an S-B member seeing as you posted here, but the core team is really only the 25-30 guys that signed up. As I've said already, lower the ratio on the surf caught fish to 1.15 or 1.2 and the field will be pretty level, IMO.
