i don't think they want to dilute things by breaking it up. the idea of the tournament is to build interest and bring awareness to the magazine and sponsores. they probably think, and i agree, that further breaking things up would only make it less interesting, desireable and competetive from a club perspective. simply comparing the boat and surf catches from the last few years shows that the factor is required and that 1.2 seams fair. and at least with the factor, there's a chance that a real club (or website
) can win over a group of commercial guys who create what is essentially an all star team.
remember, its strictly for bragging purposes. no prizes are awarded to the club winners. all the prizes are in categories that are broken up by boat or surf or junior.
