I don't either. Actually, I don't "get" any kind of competitive fishing. Fishing isn't a sport, it's a pastime, a hobby, a diversion. Competing at it lowers a wonderfully relaxing activity to the level of all human greed, IMO. I don't even care to fish with people who count fish, like numbers are the ultimate goal.I don't "get" competitive fly fishing.
People who have to compete at fishing just don't "get" its purpose.
