YOU MUST FISH ALL 5 EVENTS TO QUALIFY FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP!
You will be allowed 1 throw out per event season (you must pay the basic entry as a "buy-in") so 4 events points will be counted towards Championship qualifying
AOY Titles will take 5 events worth of points for Year End AOY point total. If a tie in points for AOY occur, a season total weight (5 events) will decide the AOY winning team
Ties in Year End Point Totals count as ONE PLACE for Championship qualifying.
There will be a $100 per team cost to fish the Championship
Options will be $50.00 per Option for each, Big Bass (Top 3) and Top 2 per day
ALL IN > $300 per Team covers both days of Championship.
