2) The team that catches the longest fish at each qualifier receives 4 points. If there is a tie, the team that caught their fish first shall receive the points.

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.
