1) Make the playing field fair for participants by restricting it to "local" opportunities (ie, local being Ontario since majority of members here are from Ontario)

...and most importantly

2) To encourage members to explore new local (Ontario) fishing opportunities for new species and to enjoy under-utilized fisheries.

Last year I caught 103 new species...only two were Ontario species...and I probably caught over 70 species (conservatively estimate) that were not new species...some 40 of them probably from Ontario. I would have blew the challenge out of the water

EXACTLY.

IMHO - the challenge should stay within the confines of Ontario... or be restricted to only those species present in Ontario using the most stringent of all the regulations, restrictions, methods and seasons of the province of Ontario.

Level field in all aspects.
