I take breaks every so often anyway. My WCW standing is evidence. Not that I woulda done any better if I hadn't though.

I've always like the idea of an off season. Just like spring means the return of baseball.

either take a break or completely rework the format. No one has the attention span for year long. A series of monthly jackpots with official weigh-ins would be more interesting (to watch or participate in).
I'd rather opt in and out of putting my 6 or 7 days a month on the water against wavsters 20 |

I think we should have a team format, as well. I like the year long format,
but I also like the idea of monthly tourneys, also. What about monthly jackpots for most points? That way one could be in last place and have a great month and still win something. The monthly raffles are too sporadic and inconsistent to keep any interest. With a team and individual format, a team of three has better odds of evening out the score. It adds more complexity to the contest, but it'll help for those long dry spells when some people can't hit the water. I for one, like the year long format. It takes more commitment. This year I've fished when I was sick, tired and just didn't feel like fishing in order to try to get a submission. I'm only where I am in the standings due to persisitence. |

I think it would be cool to have the year long WCW and a separate monthly JP that anyone (WCW or not) can buy into. This way newbs and people with ever changing work schedules can actually have a shot at something when they have an opening at work, or finally start catching fish on the yak. Set-up a paypal account for it on BWE?
In December I thought about signing up for WCW, but once I realized there there were only 5 or 6 months left I opted out. If there were a monthly JP I would have been in on it. Some others may agree...? |

monthly contest would be inconsistent because of weather conditions, especially big surf,therefore would be postponed,etc.. Yearlong has sure kept my attention! Now that I don't work much anymore i could fish at least 30 days a month...

I was thinking more of a month-long contest like a mini WCW that only lasts a month,... Not hosting a one day contest each month. For example, you buy in for the June Jack Pot at the end of May. For the month of June, whoever has the most points (YT, WSB, Buts / sizes) wins the JP from whoever bought in for the June Jack Pot... And so on for each month. That sounds fun to me. The instant gratification might get more people interested. |

I enjoyed WCW more back when the top guys were posting useful information on a more timely basis, I felt obligated to throw in my money to pay back for my education. And a year is too long for my attention span, I'll only join the day contests going forward. I'll still be a fan of WCW, these last months could be especially interesting this year.

From today:
Currently Active Users: 71 (13 members and 58 guests) Maybe for next year, the WCW forum should be available only to those signed up for WCW, then competitors might be more willing(if not required by the rules) to post more timely reports? Another idea to make it more competitive, would be to allow 2 subs per month, except for the slam, but maybe only the 10 or 12 biggest fish would count towards the final score. Just a thought. |

MOnthly WCW format. Reports due 4 days after the catch.
Year long WCW are for those that can fish 24 times out of the month for 12 months. Want to know who they are? Look at the current WCW leader board. Nothing against them, they work hard for two fish a month. That doesn't prove how they fish in a head to head format. Monthly WCW formats with sporadic cash jackpots when the fishing is good could be fun. If you find it doesn't work - at least you don't have to wait a year to change it. |
