So first up with the money is as good a way as any, if they pay up quickly they must be half decent to want to part with the readies.

Also i know its about enjoying yourself but it would be nice to give TF a run for there money.
if it is over subscribed a random draw is fairest way and suggesting he who pays first must be decent i dont buy. yes i know it is difficult to sort a team but if first payed was put up as the team selection method on the first thread you wouldn't be chasing numbers now we are not talking a kings ransom after all. yes your right i think it is for fun and a chance to meet up with forum members not a serious event and as such any member should not feel discouraged from putting themselves forward just because some want a 'decent' team. it is frowned upon for individuals to join the site with the sole purpose of fishing a specific intersite venue and never be heard of again and as such the first payed method is open to abuse. as i said not a criticism as i would have glady have fished if i was available as it would be the closest intersite match i have fished (willows and bradshaw hall previously, 9 hour and 4 hour round trips)
