Contradictory to this i quote ScottW from the "Get Some Sleep" thread. "The Striper Cup Hi Mike - Policy since year one has been to allow individuals to declare team affiliation at any point in the tournament, but only allow fish going forward to count toward team standings. We have had hundreds of anglers every year, on almost every team, who sign up first and then declare a team later in the season. Thanks for pointing out that we need to clarify that in our rules. Please contact bdean@onthewater.com if you have any questions or would like further explanation. Thanks

Dont get me wrong but he states that he has let "hundreds" of anglers every year who sign up first, declare a team later in the season.

If this is not in the "rules" as quoted above, how could they disqualify the fish? Maybe since On the water is trying to expand to the southern states it would be nice to have a jersey team win???

All this unnecessary controversy over something that isn't in the rules i'm sure will lead to the termination of teams from the striper cup...
It is most definitely in the rules, black and white. that's why counting his catch mid season was such bs imo.
"• Upon registration an angler must declare either a club affiliation or no affiliation."
good for jersey shore. congrats to you

rather be fishin'

It was explained to me that although OTW has allowed a move from independent to a team in the past, it had never been their intent to allow anglers who previously weighed in fish during that season.Sounds like they are trying to get it right and will continue to make improvements based on unforseen scenarios such as this.I'm certain tournaments throughout the world are faced with similar discrepencies on an annual basis
