I think you are entitled to whine even if you enter. I also condone complaits of elected officials regardless of whether or not you vote.Cripes,you can even second guess Belichick.Just bring back the yoyo and we'll call it even.

I always thought that they(OTW) end the tourney way too early, especially for surf guys. Oct. 15 or 30th would be more like it. Mid sept is too early. Other than that the rules are OK

I agree, Steve, but isn't it designed not to interfere with the MV derby? Still, not everyone up and down the coast fishes the derby, so they could have some overlap.

Nope, it's designed to keep Harpoon Brewery as a major sponsor.

They want the awards ceremony as close as possible to October 1 because they want it to kick off their month-long Octoberfest promotion.

And looking at this from another perspective--OTW already gets enough unjustified criticism--much of it coming from parts south of New England--for sponsoring a "kill" tournament. Keeping it going through the bulk of the fall run probably won't do much to appease these guys.

Makes sense to me Mike! that's what happens when you get into corporate sponsorship! although I like Harpoon beer A LOT

yeah OTW gets a lot of flack, but I think overall the striper cup has brought a lot of excitement into the sport and it certainly has started enought thread on boards like this!
