    2 - Day Championship

    We will take the top 50% of average seasonal event participation (minimum of 15 teams)

    A team that wins an event automatically qualifies for the Championship. This will only bump a team into the Championship if they do not qualify points wise.

    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.
