I love the enthusiasm and spirit.   It really doesn't matter what we do with the $.  We aren't going  to raise that much to
make a dent in someone's  medical bill, or buy a new fire engine.  So, let's put it back into the local community--Let's buy turkeys from the local store and give them to the local food bank for Thanksgiving. No muss no fuss. 
As for the teams, I think we should have a sliding scale based on age.    If the combined age of you team is over 110--you get 30 bonus points.  100--you get 15, 80--you get 10, 70--you get 5.  And if the combined age of your team is not over 69--well, you get spanked.

So if you get yourself, Craig, and Bushy ... that's like 900 years old!  How many bonus points do you old guys need?

Because we try to help wherever we can dude. It's not a bad thing is it? We advertise for you every post we make.

It's only bad if we attain donator apathy.  I'd rather see a few strong pushes, than too many pushes that peter out.  I tend to think we max out what people can donate and they just pick and choose events at the end of the day.  I do applaud all the good shit going on here.

And yes, you do "advertise with every post you make", but what does that have to do with anything?  The minimum wage (literally) that I make here isn't going to result in more donations from my pocket.  I'll donate what I can, but with more and more events, the same amount is just getting spread out more.

No donation no matter how small goes unnoticed by the man. This is the first time I've ever heard someone suggest we don't donate something somewhere. Awesome.

Well, I'm not suggesting that anyone donate any less, but if I reach my yearly budgetary limits on what to donate in a given year, another event isn't going to help me donate more.  But if it makes you feel any better, I'll donate an extra $20 at Albion.

Just wondering ... what's the matter with just having an event for the pure joys of competition?

Great point Allen. I also don't think we NEED to have a charity, it's nice but I never made it part of the original plan. I never envision this event as a charity engine, I'm hoping CL events does some of that.

But if someone wants to take the reins on organizing everything needed to get the money from the teams to the charity with no hassles and everyone agrees 100% than be my guest.

No matter if we do or don't, I think this will be a really fun event with some serious bragging rights up for stakes.

Allen... Team KFM?

Maybe Sledge will bring the soft tub!!!!  I understand everyones pov on the charity notion, I'm still new on the block but feel strong for PIF,  and have donated every chance I can.  I guess its up for discussion for the next coming months which is ok to me.  Winter time is my slow down time for work! But bringing 4-5 turkeys or a few slabs of ribs to the fire house of gualala sounds like it bring a smile on some faces!! so I'm torn between the two! 

All I know is ill be at Anchor the last weekend of the year!

OK, sponsors are now showing some interest. Can we nail down a team format on this or what??? Please vote.

Sorry for the silly question, but what does MBF stand for?

I have no established team of 4, or even 2, but I would be in. There is a cartel I've been involved with before that might work. 

Yeah, but I'm no longer in Placer County.  .  What will the team name be?

i am more of a solo person,  as some here know, so i vote for single person, since i believe that it is money between friends, not money between teams, as in everything, i only rely on myself, not the contributions, if there are any, of others, this whole saftey in numbers is great and all, but it does not need to overflow into competition, sorry if this comes off bitter, but, if you are not comfortable on the blue alone, then maybe its time to either call it quits, or get more experience with a mentor before signing up for a saltwater comp, cameron

Crap can happen fast when alone on big blue no matter your experience level. From getting hit by a boat or landlord. Even a freak wave. If you feel so confident that your complacent about your safety. Fish alone all you want. Now to the tournament I think a four man team would be great. If you don't want stacked teams why not draw for teams. That way people get to know and fish with more people they may not know and make some new friends. If there isn't enough to fill one team the personal average of everyone who fished will be averaged to make up for the short person or persons. Maybe this could be discussed ay albion awards meeting.

I voted for solo, and my second vote would be for two man "teams" of our choosing.

Assigning teammates and potentially making somebody responsible for someone they don't even know is ridiculous.

Money Between Friends.
