We used to do similar to that and do the 4 leg too. It was like two seperate tourneys although the season long was not catch and release. You still had to have an S-B person sign a slip verifying the size of the fish, like in the 4 leg, but you could keep the fish in the all season. In the 4 leg it had to be released or it couldn't be entered.
I think the idea of the two tourneys was a season long for what should be a very big fish and the 4 leg to encourage attendance at the gatherings and to add an element of luck where anybody beginner or expert, could potentially get lucky and get a fish big enough to win if there were just limited days to fish. It also encouraged people to fish together after the barbecue because you needed a witness for your fish. I think it was successful on both accounts.
I wouldn't mind seeing both the four leg and a season long revived.
