In order for a team to receive points, they must have at least one fish of at least 24 inches for that particular tournament, regardless of what place they finished in.
A team must consist of the same 2 anglers for each qualifier. A member of a team may fish in an event alone and have the points count towards that team’s total. If 2 different anglers fish an event, they shall be considered a new team.
4) At the conclusion of the third qualifier, the top 15 teams, plus ties will be invited to the 2-day Championship Tournament. Teams will be given one week to decide whether or not to fish in the Championship. If a team does not respond within 1 week, or decides not to fish, the spot will be offered to the next higher finishing team until the field is filled.
5) The teams will begin the Championship Tournament with bonus inches based on their finish in the standings for the three qualifying tournaments based on the following table:
