[QUOTE="LiebelsGuide, post: 51699, member: 238"] I have heard that AIM is planning to bring their weekend walleye series to ND/SD, I heard they should be releasing their schedules before Dec 1st, so be watching for that. AIM is a great format, especially for fisherman and the fishery! No decisions on whether to keep fish or not, and the fish are released to be caught again! Yes you do need a camera, but it doesn't need to be a big fancy DSLR or whatever, it just needs to accept a standard SD card and not have a fish eye lens. You can get those pretty cheap these days. The biggest downfall to this format is the weigh-in's where there are no live fish to display, only pictures and some people don't like that(but then usually complain that tournament anglers kill all the spawners)... The Van Hook Classic has ran a similar format for years and people still attend, AIM's format is an Improvement and would help get results out quicker. The biggest problem I would have with any series is that it adds more tournaments to an already busy list of tournaments during the summer months. I have some stuff that I have put together that would use existing tournaments(with 50+ teams) results to calculate points that could be used towards an angler of the year. Team of the year could be done as well if you fish with the same person for all tournaments. I was thinking of charging a certain registration fee for individuals to enter and then use their top 3 finishes to calculate final standings. I almost tried to roll it out this year but decided to wait a year... I might try and put together a spreadsheet using this years results from SAK so you could see who won the SAK angler of the year IF we had done a series. Fort Peck does something similar and has had good success. [/QUOTE]
