The Values on the weight in spread sheet where to the old system (10 for coho, and 5 for king). I apologize, I thought that was changed. The new totals do change the order for the third place teem.

I'll make it right with the correct third place team. The $ amount was $22

Yeah, that's them in the 3rd place picture. Seeing as I work with Bernie, we have agreed to forfeit our winnings in exchange for the copper wire we were not eligible to win

Got any more pictures from the event Dave?

Also, I was just wondering what the reason was for swapping Coho and King points from what they were last year?

There's actually an interesting history behind that;)

Back in 2002 10 boats got together in Manistee over labor day weekend to have a friendly tournament. Trout Tracker and Caznik came up with the rules and we all had a blast. In 2002 coho's were worth 10 and kings 5 to compensate for the size difference. Everybody had such a blast that it became an annual thing however because of a typo in 2003 the king and coho points were switched. A big hub bub ensued at the weighin that year and it ended up that it stayed at 10 for kings/5 for cohos forever after.

The WMFL actually spawned from this original Labor Day tourney and so the rules carried over. Last year sixshooter ran the league and wanted to try the old school values the league started on. It's about the fun and the friendships with a little cash and bragging rights coming second. Part of that was the original point rule. Ken just brought back the point system that has been around for most of the years and that most guys know

Rob, I will have to ask my wife if she took anymore. I just looked on my camera and that is what I found. Maybe she took some more with hers??

I will make sure to take some more next time around.
