OTW Striper Cup, enhanced rules, Should S-B fish as a team?

[Saltheart]

I like the rule changes. If we can , lets field a S_B team. If for some reason we can't or don't field a team , I'm going to enter as an individual just so I can go to the beer party at the end.

SD, over the past few years we have had numerous discussions on how we are similar to and seperate from a traditional club, often due to tournaments. As that is not the topic of this thread I want to see this stay on topic and get the general consensus of what people want to do regarding this tourney...

Thanks,

John

I thought the timing seemed self-serving but do as you wish.I look forward to the celebration at the conclusion.BTW how many members are in our "club"?

if OTW allows internet fishing sites to participate, there should be a seperate division for them. Not knocking this site or anyother site, but the membership levels on these sites are monstorous. Plus, each site has members from maine to north carolina. If SB.com enters i will all of you the best of luck Im not going to enter.

I don't think that I'm gonna enter. I do applaud otw's response to concerns of fishermen but I just don't see this as something that's for me.

I don't think the forums should enter as a club, at first I did but after giving it some thought I think the traditional clubs are what OTW had in mind. Also I am not going to enter as a club member for msba either since only 10 fish can be entered, I don't want to get involved with any of that since they most likely would want the best fisherman to enter fish and I have to be lucky to catch one 30 or better each year. Seems like it will take alot of decisions to which fish should be entered, if 10 fish get weighed in fairly early in the tourney, then that lessons the chance for the club to win I'd say, so maybe the club will have to figure out how to keep track of club entered fish possible by updating there website or something, I see problems there.
Maybe I'll join just to go to the party afterwards

Slip,I think it's the combined weight of the top 10 fish.If that's the case,you have as good a chance as anyone else.Also you would have the ability to stay current with the smallest of the 10 to aid in your decision of whether to keep the fish in question.

What I have not officially heard is - will they allow sites to compete. But the "rumor" mill has it that the sites would be SB RI or SB Mass. Don't know if ANY of it is true. And even if it is I don't know if S-B will field a team - that is up to all of you. At this point I am even money fishing it whether or not SB is in, individually or with a club for which I am a member.

Oh and the party afterwards, I think we need to book some rooms, TFHTF nite
