Next year they can recalculate the multiplier using 2 years of data . Its really simple to continuously update the multiplier using a running avergae , year to year , with the multiplier equalizing the first place or first five places between mostly shore teams and mostly boat teams.
Number of members being restricted is against the whole point of the tourney. The tourney exists so people can participate , not so that some club can win a trophy! I am signed up on the S_B team this year but until my hip is operated on , I won't get a fish. I knew this before I signed up . I signed up so I can go to the party at the end with my firends. Why should that be limited? In fact I think there should be a trophy for the team that has the most number of paid entries.

You don't have to be on a team to go to the Striper Fest. You just have to be signed up for the Striper Cup. You can do that as an individual angler and still have a shot at winning the boat and partying with your friends. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you can even go as a guest, but you won't have your name in for the drawing for the boat . . . right? But I agree with you about finding the right average . . . it most likely will take a few years to figure everything out. It's only the second year they're doing this . . . and to my understanding they are pretty understaffed at OTW and only a couple guys are running this thing. They need more staff and a new web site coordinator. I'd really like to see that web site updated a hell of a lot more than it is now.
