MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
I think someone needs to step back and take a long hard look at the contest that took place last year !Nothing could have been run any smoother than it was . Remember something ... the contest was run by a volunteer and the rules were posted clearly for everyone to see .If you don't like the way any of the contests are being run or the rules its very simple DONT JOIN THEM !It's pretty bold to even suggest that there was unfair activity or things weren't done quite fair or to your liking .
Gee it would be fun to have Canada against USA heh. But us Canadians would clean up and it probably wouldn't be fair
....its amazing how pretty much everyone thats posted since TGF, has completely avoided accepting the challenge, and preferred to get into the state versus state/province debate like last year...small in numbers but a great gang from B.C. Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario.....likely more anglers just from Team New Yap....but do I see anyone accepting the challenge?.....Naw....I think it would be great fun to see Team Canada versus Team U.S.A. Grump
simple math....biggest fish in each category as per the tournament scored by Lonewolf....nothing complicated....just a good ole challenge....Grump
Your words from your first post making this ludicrous comment about who runs the tourney..."I do feel it not fair that we have another NY'er run it >>>Why wasn't it fair?? You "implied" with your above comment that you feel by having a NY'er run the tourney that unfair practices are suspect...You don't care who runs it but you make statements like you did??Most of the arguements start right after "somebody" makes an idiotic comment like the one "somebody" posted today......
is LW doing the IS tourney? icegeek did it last year and im sure he wants out, im not sure if LW want to do this year round its alot of stuff to keep up with, then complaining from people, etc... i know i dont want to run it simple math is the best way to do it, big fish = big points, little fish = little points, no fish = no points
Wouldn't it better if each member that posted at least one fish in a Category got 1 point for their team
I believe that a state ought to be judged on the number of entrants participating in the tourney. For example; there are over 200 entrants for NY, probably about six for Wyoming. New York has a population of about a billion while Wyoming has a population of a couple of hundred. Therefore if you take the co sin of the coefficient of population, divide it by the imaginary number 7 and carry the 3....Wyoming whips NY and BC added together.
I think BC only only had 8 people in tourney last year. I like the Canada vs USA tourney. We in BC feel our highly regarded burbot will not be in this years tourney. That is because we have some big ones that no walleye or burbot from other places can compete with. We are or will be then limited to 2 species. If BC joins the rest of Canada then our species will be alot more. Therefore fairer
But would that be fair? I don't know the numbers from Team Canada. But if its as lopsided as the state vs state then. It could be impossible from Team Canada to win. EX NY had over 200 members PA had 83. If ever member from NY and PA posted a fish The score would be NY 200PA 83 But if the numbers are the same or are close it would be a great idea!!!
Ok to be "FAIR" how about the mod from the U.S. with the highest number of post's and the mod from Canada with the highest number of post's get together and set the rules and choose a tourney director .Then both sides have had their input and all is fair .Once the rules have been posted thats that and there will be no changes made .Sounds fair to me .I would volunteer to help but I am in now way computer savvy enough to do it .
That is because we have some big ones that no walleye or burbot from other places can compete with.
hey mush..you only get points for fish that place..you know that....so it wouldnt matter how many members you have. mich will only have 20 something members..and we shall gladly except any challenge..why? cause no matter the numbers, 3 nice fish can turn the tables...thats all it takes..and so what if you dont win..woopity doo. its fun to talk trash and be a good sport...michigan got stomped in the MFF tourney..do you hear us talking about the tourney not being fair and belly aching about everything...no...we are here..talking trash again..all in good fun.. i think a US vs. CAN tourney would be fun...why not get patriotism added into the mix...same as the other tourneys right? top 3 fish from the catagories score? MICH will represent either state or country!!!!
ARCH where are ya ?
lol, im not a mod, and billditrite has twice the posts as i do i agree, numbers dont mean anything, its the largest 3 fish, look at the MFF tourney, polarbear from PA was only one man and almost won the tourney singlehandedly, he had every single point for PA, if you have 200 people posting 18" bass and i guy posting 3-20" bass, the 200 people are just spectators the single guy has all the points. heck camo had majority of all the points for NY, numbers just give better odds, but if only 20 people out of the 200 post fish for NY and 50 of the 83 from PA post fish, then you have to redo all the BS calculations and crap heck why not call the NFL and ask them to give the away team a 7 point head start because they only have 2000 fans out of the 80000 at the game. i noticed most of the people complaining about the math in the tourney dont even post fish in it post a big fish and know you did what you could to help out your state/province ps, if your going to put walleye and burbot together why not have pike and musky together?lol, im just sore about my 30" eye loosing to some burbot garbage fish
