John nice yoke, You may have engaged in some sort of mind gamemanship, but it does have a nice ring to it. Perhaps you might want to explore that to another level .

Just think, perhaps you may have started another discussion point where some value could come of it. Just speaking out loud

When ever one operates a tournment you will almost find some controversy.

Rules are only inplace to those that follow them, because every rule will get tested at some point, no matter how hard the sponcers attempt to prevent problems some one will find the loop hole and challenge them.

In most instances most tournements will have those that really do not care how they get the top prize, just as long as they are the ones to get it.

One needs to ask the question, how can recreational entries ever equal those that commercially fish for a living ?? No matter what, the advantage will always go to the charter boats who fish for a living. It goes with out saying that in some fields those that charter for a living are considered to be commercial fishermen, as they are not pure recreationally oriented.

It also speaks to why the charter boats support these types of events, it provides a braggin point if and when there boat is under consideration for hire.
We can talk about the sport of fishing from two view points, commercially and recreationally, but overall the advantage for weighing in a large fish, goes to the charter fleet and not those land bound from any beach front. I understand that OTW has attempted to correct this disparity, so do we really still have a disadvantge fishing from a land bound beach front????

All teams should be declared and made public before any fish is ever weighed in under any team name. Was a list ever publically posted any where that stated all the teams and its members??? By making such a list publically available it takes away the suspect illegal entry from being counted in the grand scheme of
prizes and makes the tournement more honest for every one concerned.

I was unable to find such a list posted, is there one, so that every one knows that XZ team has 13 members and these are there names??

This should be announced prior to the start and once the tournement has started no one else can now claim to be part of Xz team and weigh in a fish that has no right to be weighed in under that name.
