With 4 legs you can participate and win even if you only make 1 leg so in fact 4 legs makes it more likely people can make at least 1 and be "in" the tourney.
I think the downfall of the 4 leg and fewer participants in the barbecues has a lot to do with not knowing when they will be until a week or two before. It would work a lot better if we set dates very early on , almost like setting all 4 dates in April.
We are very considerate here about not scheduling our events on top of other organizations events but the fact is absolutely nobody consults with us as to when our events are. I think we need to pick dates based around likely good fishing weekends (new/full moon) and avaoiding holidays like the 4th , etc and just set our dates. If people can make it , great. Better chance of people making it if they can set a date aside 2 months in advance.
I think about the only rules were Catch and Release and some guidelines as to areas to fish which changed based on where the Barbecue was. For example , the Barbecue was at Weekapaug it was something like Jamestown to Watch Hill but when at M+D's it was like Race point to Westport (just examples , I forget exact boundaries) .
Other than that you need to fish with other people from S-B who verify your catch with a length measurement, then you let the fish go.
