Between Ken and myself we can get some nice prizes donated. To keep everything fair and fun for everyone so that no one will feel excluded, howzabout three dvisions - tilefish, US grouper and foreign-country grouper? And have a manual and an electric award in each fish group. Each angler enters, it's not a per boat entry.
Also, what is the entry fee? The cost of UPS-shipping the booty to the respective winners won't be cheap. If each guy pays an entry fee of $10 that should do it. Any extra dough gets donated to a fishing related charity or fishing-rights lobbying group like the RFA (and NOT the damned CCA).
Entry forms and weigh-in forms would be available on a link in PDF format for easy printing. Forms get mailed/emailed to the tourney director.
Mike Grander, since this is your tournament, all the parameters of the tourney will be set by you. But I hope our ideas here will help you narrow down the issues to a format that will satisfy most everybody.
Catch-All
