RULES AND REGULATION
1.
This is a team trail. Each angler must name his/her teammate at the
beginning of the year. All points will be awarded to the
team. At the end of the year, the top 25 teams in the
points will qualify for the Year End Championship. As
well, any team that won a tournament but happened to
finish outside of the Top 25, also qualifies for the
championship.
2.
Any team may substitute a partner twice in one year without penalty. The
substitute can’t be a guide or have ever guided on the
lake being fished. After two substitutions, the team can
still substitute with a 10 point penalty, or one angler
may fish alone.
