| Just wondering if you guy's are ever going to update the rankings? |

Location: Rhinelander | Yep. |

|
| Yeah an update would be nice:) |

Location: Rhinelander | When Zach has the data he needs we'll update. No need to redefine the Rankings, but for those of you who are not clear on how our model works, they are based from two/three years of data from each circuit for each angler. AIM has one year under the belt, PWT is gone, so 'ranking' anglers weighting the AIM events after only one season of short fields would definitely skew the results and make the Rankings VERY volatile. |

| Steve,
does this mean that it will be another year before the rankings are updated? |
|

Location: Rhinelander | No. As each event is entered this year the rankings can be updated. We have a new issue, however...how to integrate the FLW Tour events as far as weighting them against AIM; the playing field has again changed dramatically. |

Location: Rhinelander | The FLW Tour events can't/shouldn't be be 'weighted' against the AIM and last year's FLW events because they are not comparable in the field of pros or impact RE: payouts and competition/filed weighting. I know Zach is trying to find a fair way to weight the 2010 FLW events and look at the overall formula....we need two circuits that can be somewhat evenly compared to arrive at a realistic and meaningful ranking. |

Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | Steve, an idea would be to call it the most consistent fishermans race. trying to rank guys now is impossible. However, a consistency rating, I.E. a batting average, could be given to every guy who ever fished a pwt, flw, or AIM event. Even some of the old guys who don't fish anymore can get a rating with a batting average. it would give guys a real sense of where they stand. minimum of 3 or 5 events to get in. What do ya think.

| Lets have a 1 month time period where everyone can vote for the anglers. Who ever gets the most votes is #1. Next biggest vote receiver is #2, so on , and so on. Only registered member's vote, on walleye first, count. That way only 1 vote is allowed per member. None of this guest crap!

| Stacker-very intelligent response. I used to keep track of average finish in the old PWT days just to see how I stacked (no pun intended) up against the Gofrons of the walleye world. Quite simple- add together all finishes and divide by total number of tourneys fished. Even a dumby like me can do this. Now I know guys are going to argue about wins-Top Tens and so on but this is at least one very fair comparison. Here is my PWT average: 4 + 20 + 20 + 30 + 43 + 56 + 80 = 36.1 |

Location: Rhinelander | We use a very complicated formula to run the rankings. Zach will come up with something that works. |
