I'm planning on moving to a new server within the next 2 to 3 weeks. Just a little friendly warning as there might be a few hours of odd behavior when the process starts. I will try to have it done at night or weekend.

That would be a great idea, especially since all the organizations do it in such different ways.  If you ever see a book like that, I'd love to read it. 

Matt - Sorry if I sounded like I was complaining about the club last year.  That's not what I meant.  I had a great time and loved fishing against the guy who won all the time.  It was a great challenge.  I did wish I could have learned more, but it was a great time.  I hope you and I can fish together sometime this summer!

EmeryJ, so you're into Hold 'em?  I play in a weekly game here on the East side.  We don't play for money, just a goofy plastic bracelet that the winner gets to keep for the week.  But we have a lot of fun and even let some of the wives play.  If you're ever on the East side on a Friday or Saturday night and want to join the game, let me know.

Before you get too far... those things aren't legal without a permit. I don't want Lt. Dan to get in trouble.

There.... with that said.... if we can figure it out, I'll play!!!

Maybe we can play for baits, or some od Dan's way-points.

Tom,
I didn't read it like that.  I was just saying that he should have been uncatchable with those finishes, any point system that made him close to the field would have been a joke.  Kind of like the nbaa point system, doesn't give the winners enough point seperation from the rest of the field.  I don't like weight included, everytournament should be worth the same. 
-Matt

Revtro

Yeah, I guess that makes sense.  You shouldn't be rewarded because you fished at a time when the weights were naturally bigger.  That wouldn't seem very fair.  If that's the way it worked, the Bassmaster Classic this year would have meant nothing because no real weight was brought in.  Good point.

I have been following this string pretty close and listening to everyone's input, and it seems like the best way to do things would be like this:

(This system works better with more tournaments, say 7 to 10)

-Use a points system, 50 points for first, 49 for 2nd and so on down the line, plus the weight of the fish.

-Anyone who burns gets 10 points less than the lowest scoring angler who caught fish, like points for showing up.

-No-shows get zero.

-Allow a guy to drop his lowest, or better yet, lowest 2 days

This really does make it the most fair, and brings the best overall angler to the top.  Sight fishermen get the advantage early, but the best angler will always prevail.  It lets a family guy be more flexible and maybe miss a day or two without getting killed in the standings.  Some things that can be done to help add to the fun:

-Give a points bonus to the guy who hauls in the "bigfish"  Maybe 3 to 5 points bonus.  This could really help a guy out.

-Score the Classic at the end of the year, and make it 75 points for first, 70 for 2nd, 65 for third, so there is a 5 point spread between places.  This makes the Classic  a much bigger event, and might let a guy come from way down the ranks and slide into first at the end.

Just some ideas, but they are tried and tested.  We had 7 events last year, scored like above (without the big bass and Classic stuff) and we dropped our lowest two.  At the end of the year, the winner had 298 points, with 5 other guys with at least 270 points right behind him.  It was very close going into the last event, which is really what we all want. 8)

Yeah, that was pretty similar to what our club last year did.  It worked pretty well.  I think we had too many points perhaps per event.  We had 200 points per event.  So I think the numbers were a little farther apart, so the classic wouldn't have made much difference.  I could be wrong...I don't totally remember how the points ended up.  But I like that system, it seems very fair if you're going to have a points system.

I like the point systems.  In the club last year as Matt stated it dosn't matter what type of system we had in place when a guy wins 5 of 7 tournaments and gets 2 drops i do't care if we did half points he would still win since we didn't include weights.  To me a  good point system is the only way to go in order to show how anglers did throught the season.
