1. A Squad is 3 teams of 2 fisherpersons (important to not forget the ladies) (I hope some of our young ladies of the TFF will form a squad). Last year we did 5 teams of two per squad but I think it will be easier with just 3 teams per squad.
2. MatchPlay: TFF Matchplay was started 2 years ago by Bob Smith and I am sure a few others but Bob is the Father of Matchplay (I think RedRanger is the mother LOL). It started by just average I'm better than you smack talking. They formed I think just 6 Squads of 5 teams each and then took all the teams and macthed them up in individual tourneys (2 boats on the lake). You fished against the other team and the winner got 3 points and the loser got 1 point. These points go back to the Squad and after each team had fished 6 tourneys each the 2 Squads that had the most points accumulated fished against each other (10 boats on the water) to determine the winners of Matchplay. For 2 Years Team Sweet won and I think Team Elite was 2nd both times.
How were the matches fished? Matchplay went for 6 months so you had 1 tourney per month. You checked the file to find your opponents for that month and then you called them and hashed out a time and lake to compete (the only rule on this was that the Tourney had to be at least 4 hours long). Some were fished on the weekends while others were fished during the week just whatever could be done.
I hope I have explained how this works enough for everyone to understand. Now lets get some Squads started....
