New rules for Striper Cup

I think its good to see thier only going to allow a club to enter their 10 heaviest fish.I think that alone helps out alot.

Roger - you know numbers better than me but their changes in the rules, and in the part that was out of whack the most, aggregate points per club, reduces the overall take FAR more than by half. Personally I think for a tourney of it's type, it has reached a reasonable level of responsibility. The ideal C&R tourney would be absolutely impossible.

While I agree you will still have those that will take advantage of the system - as with just about any tourney - I think they have done certainly most of the things they could do and it is FAR better than before...

The masses have spoken, and for once they were listened to!

I agree with JohnR. I also give Chris Megan and his team at OTW a lot of credit. They spent a lot of money to promote a derby that a lot of folks found fault with. They "listened" to those of us who took the time to contact them and they acted to drastically revise the rules. Congratulations OTW.

Fishermen are still going to weigh in their fish weekly anyway, for the weekly rod/reel combo. It does not change the number of fish entering at all unless you buy into OTWs fantasy that club members are in constant communication so that they can restrict their harvest. Personally I doubt that the folks at OTW even believe that, they just wrote it to sound good at first glance.

That rule only levels the playing field for large and small clubs since you only get to count the 10 largest.

Roger, do you know Chris, or Neal or Gene or anyone personally at OTW? I do and have for years, even years before OTW born and you are casting aspertions by speculation, the only fantasy here is in your little mind and the real tragedy is that others of your ilk will read your postings and actually believe them to be true. The guys are the mag have more scruples than you could ever hope to. I know your kind. Unless you know the truth you should keep your mouth shut because obviously you don't. In plain english your obviously an %$%$%$%$%$%$%$, I hope you see the truth in that.
