Proposed 2022 CFF Rule Changes and Schedule

[elwestb]

Ok guys we have got to start hashing this thing out sometime! I have been out of fishing for about five weeks now after my knee replacement surgery and it's been killing me. But now I can at least start thinking about and talking about fishing again!
I propose that we change our day Tx. hours from safe light to 3pm. (I really don't care about this added hour but a number of people seem to favor that.)
I propose that we change our night hours to start at 7pm and end at 2am. (I do like that and we get to blast off before any other Tx.'s!)
I propose that we lower the post from 150 post to maybe 50? We need to attract and encourge more participants to fish. Maybe this will help. We still do offer two free passes don't we?
We do need to continue to encourge all of our Tx. anglers to post a fishing report as always but I don't know how we can enfroce that?
I propose that we go back to two drops (lowest scores) at the year end for the AOY point standings.

Now these are just my suggestions. If you oppose any of the changes you are cerntainly welcome to do so. Everyone has a vote and i am just one!
If you have any other suggested changes to add please do so.


Here below is my suggested 2022 CFF Schedule so we have something to start with.

Feb. 19th CFP Day Safe Light - 3pm

Mar. 12th RP Day Safe Light - 3pm

Mar. 26th Sullivan's Day Safe Light - 3pm

April 9th CFP Day Safe Light - 3pm

April 30th CFP Day Safe Light - 3pm

May 14th Holly Circle Day Safe Light - 3pm

May 28th Chick Dam Day Safe Light - 3pm

June 10th CFP Night 7pm - 2am

June 24th CFP Night 7pm - 2am

July 15th RP Night 7pm - 2am

July 22nd RP Night 7pm - 2am

Aug. 5th CFP Night 7pm - 2am

Aug. 19th CFP Night 7pm - 2am

Sept. 17th CFP Day Safe Light - 3pm (And I said that I would never vote for another day event in Sept. after this last year at Sullivan's! Oh well!)


I have 14 events proposed. Eight day Tx.'s and six night Tx.'s. If that is too many then which date do you want to cut?
If you know of any conflicting Tx. events or you have any other issues or concerns please state them.

I like the schedule but let’s have the classic September 17-18. Good with the 2 drops. I like the 2 o’clock weight in and looking and the page you posted more like the 2 than 3. I’m with you tho we need to get on top of this it is fast approaching.

 

[flyman]

I like the schedule ( it does over lap with some CBA tx) I am ok with all of the other suggestions as well

 

[Dropshot]

What about this? Gets it down to 12 and allows us to have classic on the September day we can get CFP.</p>

Patrick, what if we flip flop either the RP or Sullinvan's with a Chick date so we aren't basically fishing two Nick Tx's back to back? Otherwise I'm good with it as is! Does anyone know of any conflicts with other Tx.'s yet?

 

[flyman]

Nothing in Feb? .. thought we were going to go to 3 on day tx’s

 

[Dropshot]

With all we had I just took the first one off because the weather is predicted to be miserable this winter. As far as fishing until 3pm I am glad to put it up to a vote. I personally don't want to change the day tournaments longer, but will go with whatever the majority decides.</p>

Earl also had us fishing consecutive weekends in July, which I removed.</p>

The boat traffic on Chickamauga makes me want to get off the lake as soon as I can after noon...</p>

</p>

Wish we had a way to incorporate the night tournament part into the classic.</p>

</p>

 

[Justfishin]

I like the schedule are we going back to 2 drops. I say yes
Day tx end at 2 is my vote
On post count can we give give couple more free passes instead of dropping post count.
Night tx start at 7. I say yes

 

[flyman]

We could fish Friday night for day 1 of classic and Sunday day for day 2
I like the schedule
I am ok with all proposed changes 7pm night starts, 2drops, we could reduce post counts to 100 combined,

 

[Justfishin]

There are some of the regular guys that don’t fish the night tx. That would push them out

 

[Dropshot]

Yep. Just stay with the two days. If everyone is good with dates, I will publish.

 

[Dropshot]

Hey Earl, we can swap one of the first two to Chick. I think we have the next two out of CFP because those were two of the only dates they had open.

 

[elwestb]

K! I'm good wit it all as is Ronnie so that is a majority. Post it Sir! Thanks guys!
