Shed hunting teams???

Re: Shed hunting teams???

I've been reading this post, and I've got several concerns.

First of all, how could you make this an honest contest? I could see problems here with inflated shed numbers and/or scores. I'm not saying it will happen, and it would take a lot of trust in someone's word. I'm just a little leary about that.

Another thing - HOW exactly WOULD you make point totals? Would it be by total number, or by biggest scoring side, or what?

I'm also concerned with how the teams would be placed together. It seems like a couple people are pretty much running everything. I don't think that's quite fair. If you're going to plan teams, I think a drawing system would work better rather than just picking them. I also feel that a "team captain" isn't necessary, and just picking captains from Canada as being unfair. What if someone else wants to be a captain? I think if there's an absolute NEED for a captain, it should be by either a drawing or a voting system.

I realize that the Canucks seem to find more sheds than those south of the border, and the idea of one of the Canadian shed enthusiasts on each team would be a fair way to go.

I realize I haven't said much about this topic, and I apologize for it. I'm not trying to flex my muscle as a moderator, but since I'm listed in that capacity, I wanted to voice some of the concerns I have. I think a contest like this could be done, but it's not going to be easy to make it fair and honest. Personally, I'm not interested in joining the contest. But I think it needs some work if it's going to be done.

How about these categories:

biggest WT typical-10 points

biggest MD typical-10 points

biggest WT nontypical-10 points

biggest MD nontypical-10 points

smallest WT-10 points

smallest MD-10 points

any WT or MD shed-1 point

any moose, elk, or other-2 points

we'll keep it simple, skulls don't count, as they are not sheds

let's just have fun with it, that's the point....not get in a pissing match smile.gif

The thing is, how is this not excluding small sheds? I don't find huge sheds but I want my sheds to count in my team's score? Maybe have something like a limit to the number of sheds each person in a team can enter or have some type of point system like 1 point for every tine over 2 inches or something.
