283 -- I wondered that same thing about the team thing versus the draw and was told that if it was a team thing, you'd probably have the same 4 or 5 team winners each month since some of those boys who would team up would be hard to beat...eventually many would get tired of making those same 4 or 5's boat payment, truck payment and even child support payments and slowly the club would not even exist...makes since and like you, I also enjoy fishing with a few of the same guys and also understand how it could possibly not be good for a friendly club environment like the Sparta club...... tight lines and don't forget to make a post how you do this weekend and I'll do the same....tight lines......
