You know which members etc, wouldn't be fair to have someone join last minute cause he got a big one that day and enter it on S-B's behalf but I leave that up to you. I would enjoy seeing Team S-B.Com up there s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g down some UFO from the cup at the party as they are awarded the cup!

Well, Neal did not ask me what I thought (nobody did for that matter) and nowhere did anyone say S-B would not consider fielding a team. Maybe he asked my doppelganger, NIB

Seriously, I was going to look at more details at the show but did not get a chance and I had not made any determinations yet.

As for a member signing up on S-B and then entering the OTW cup as a S-B member, perhaps our normal rules would apply that in order to participate as an S-B torunament member you need at least 1 week of registration and 10 posts - as long as that fits within the rules of the OTW tourney...

If all registered users saddled up for SB omg!! Total ownage!!!!

I understand guys want to fish for their clubs as well though, but the level of OWNAGE think about it...

[Redsoxticket]

The same can be said with other on-line clubs with members exceeding 10,000+

Don't make me end this thread.
Not about killin lots o fish for total points.Anymore.killed my share in NJ club tourney's.Definetly not a tree hugger though. i love to eat fish.
All kinds.
Not sure i need any pins either.If it becomes something along the lines of shaeffer i might miss out on ownin some when i'm old an gray an no one will believe my line o crap.
If any talent gets in it will take a 60 lber to win.

Guys, I think you are putting the cart before the horse with this website team. The teams are representing the states they are in. How could S-B.com as a regional forum field a team only from one state. Maybe have state divisions of S-B.com. I don't think it is fair to the smaller traditional clubs, like my own CTSurfcasters with under 200 members if a 10,000 member site is allowed to compete. I don't think I like the fact of 10,000 formerly C&R guys trying to take two a week for a trophy . A fishing club should be defined as a chartered club that holds monthly meetings. Maybe have a website challenge division next year. The key word here is traditional.

S-B.COM MA Team, S-B.COM RI Team, S-B.COM CT Team, many ways to do this. B.A.S.S. is a club/organiztion with a zillion members, yet they still field teams in tournaments.

I agree that there are many ways to do this so why don't you contact OTW and change the rules so that every club can adhere to the same rules.
I personally like NIB's opinion on this derby.

Rethinking here ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dave... this is an excellent point. Even if its only 500 entrants. I`ve kept one bass since I`ve been fishing in 97 and a few more I gave to other fisherman.

This killing of more bass would be a big negative and would surely be a factor for fishers striving to win in this contest.

If I do enter the Cup I think I`d only keep something over 40# and I`ve never caught one over 40 yet but if in the Cup I`d be much more inclined to try harder.

I was think'n the same thing also.To win overall Someone will put up some huge numbers.This will garner mixed reactions.It's a different world now.
