Sons of Tangaroa Summer Club Champs

In the summer of 2023-2024 we are mixing it up a bit with a new style of comp. We will keep the old comp going so Nick, Matt, Angus and Steve can duke it out, but will also introduce a second comp for the mortals among us. This will incorporate ideas like bonus, double point days, extra points for newbies getting their first of a species, harbour or shore dive bonuses, and a couple of extra points here and there for being a good bastard.

Questions

We’re looking for some feedback on the entire system, this is intended to be a quick mockup at this stage. 

What is the entry criteria

What can the prizes be (I can through in a box or so of product)

What species can we add

How many days, and which days can we choose as bonus days? 

What should the duration be? Will it be just a summer comp? 

Is everyone happy with the concept? 

Is there anything else we should be doing to keep it interesting

Can we add a bit more than flounder for night diving. Piper are fun and tasty, and so is eel. 

What can we name the categories?
