| Does anyone know if Sonny announced the '07 schedule at last night's orientation meeting for the league championship? Thanks. |

| A buddy of mine said it was discussed that the FLW League is going to be switching to a team format in 07. |

| Sonny said THERE is a POSSIBILITY that they may go to that format, he asked for the fishermans input on the idea ! |

Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | well, none of the 3 states in which they play need another team format. They have plenty to choose from allready. |

| I play in MI. The only real option here is the MWT. I would love to have another choice available. |

| I agree with, Stacker. There seems to be an option for team tourneys in every state the FLW league is in. The FLW league is a nice "entry level" for the aspiring "Pro". Without the huge cost of the FLW or PWT both, fees and traveling and lets not forget the time committment too.
I hope it remains a boater/co-angler format, I'd like to compete in it someday, hopefully soon. |

Location: LaCrosse, WI | I think that they could potentially get another circuit set up for teams. I think they should at least keep the pro/am format. The only thing I'd really like to see is one of the Winnebago tournaments held somewhere else. I love the Bago chain, but think that one more tourney elsewhere would be nice.
I know I'll get the usual arguments about that area drawing many boats, but it's just something I'd like to see. The Mississippi River would be a good alternative, and would be a good test for everybody. |

| Keep it a boater/co-angler format. They get full fields here in WI, not sure about MI and MN.

Location: stevens point | I fished all the tournaments this year and not one of them was a full field. A full field is 100 boats. I would like to see it go to a team format. Yes there are other team format's out there and I have fished them, but I like the way FLW is run. The expense is getting high with the way gas prices are. Just fishing the Green Bay tournament for 2 days with the prefishing throw in it cost over $600.00 in expenses. Then on day 1 you get your co-angler into the money and get $0.00 money for a tip when a team partner would split the cost with you it's not hard to see why I would like the team format. |

| I would like to see it as a team format with $3000 entry per team. Then with sponsorship money they could pay $50,000,000 for first place. Can someone call Sonny and see if he will go for it? |

Location: Appleton wi | I urge everyone that has a opinion wether staying pro/am or changing to team formatt should contact flw and voice there opinion per sonny at the league championship. I totally agree with Stacker we already have a enough team formats in this state. If they change they will loose poeple who have fished this tourny since the beginning and just to remind everyone this league event was desinged as a pro/am event as a baby brother event to the TOUR. |

Location: Neenah, WI | I vote to keep it a pro/am format. Way too many team tourneys already. |
