I agree with Peter and others who would like to see some type of deterrent for anyone who may be thinking about cheating in these team events.

It may be beneficial to include some language like, "Winners may be subject to a lie detector test". The operative word here is, "may". You "may" get a scrutineer or you "may" not. People who are looking for a quick easy scam will hopefully look elsewhere in case they may not get away with it and they may get exposed to everyone as cheaters.

I don't think there is one single approach that will solve everything but cheaters need to know that tournament organizers are committed to protecting the integrity of their circuit, protecting their anglers and taking an active approach to stop any cheating.

Hopefully the tournament community being vigilant and talking about it on a chat board will make some conspiring cheater think twice!
