I personally don't like team events that much. I'd rather fish by myself / with a scrutineer. The first tournament I see that allows you to go solo with a scrutineer has my money. At least you know the event is clean and theres no BS.

Personally, spots ? really ? no offence but spots mean nothing. You have to be good, you have to have options and personally i wouldn't care about a scrutineer, id rather have that on every boat and know that everyones fishing clean...

Not everyone would agree but i think having partners is an odd structure, always has been a differentiator between our tournaments and american tournaments. I think they have it right ....
