Wow, you guys are really going overboard with the reactions here.

The purpose of rec.outdoors.fishing.tournaments is to discuss all aspects
of tournament fishing. NOT JUST BASS!
There is no proposal or idea to combine the newsgroups in any way.

Tournament fishing is very different from recreational fishing. Just like
a
football newsgroup there would be discussion of the pro's themselves as
well as methods, tournament trails and such. It would even include
discussion of fantasy fishing leagues such as that sponsored by ESPN.

Hey, if you want to have a group to discuss nothing but tournaments, go for
it, I don't care. As long as it doesn't have an effect on the ROFB, great!

Quite frankly, I doubt if you will find me there as I find most professional
sporting events to be less than interesting, that includes anything that
involves a ball or NASCAR. I never understood the whole fantasy league
thing either. I fish a couple of tournaments a year, both of them
semi-sponsored by this group. And even then, it's for the friendships that
I've made over the years, not the competitive fishing.

Good luck with your endeavor.
