On the weekend of the two day final we will once again be splitting each lake into four sections of five anglers on both days who will be fishing for £80 per section (The sections will be paid out via default)
On each of the five qualifiers as well as the final there will also be an optional £20 Super Pool run by the anglers on the bank, in all of the qualifying rounds they will have 20 anglers fishing each reservoir consecutively with the top four anglers who catch the heaviest nets of fish on each water moving forward to fish the final on Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th September were a total of 40 anglers will compete fishing Anglezarke or Upper Rivington reservoir on the Saturday before moving onto the other reservoir on the Sunday were the winner will again be decided by the total weight of fish caught and not a points system.
The draw for for what lake you will be fishing on will take place the night before each match on Facebook Live from Adlington Angling Centre.
Then on the morning of the match if you draw on Anglezarke reservoir you will meet on the Back Lane car park at 9am but if you draw Upper Rivington you will meet on Horrobin Lane at 9am where the match officials will do the draw themselves before directing each angler to their home for the day.
The 'ALL IN' will be cried out at 10.30am and the match will continue until the 'ALL OUT' at 4pm where we will find out which lucky anglers have booked their golden tickets to the final.
As always all the weighing in will be done by two people only with NOBODY following the official's with the scales and all the results will be posted later on the Adlington Angling Centre page on Facebook for all to see.

If previous years are anything to go by be quick as these 200 tickets usually sell out very quickly so don't hesitate and get booking!
If your not lucky enough to get a golden ticket don't worry as I will also be putting names down on a reserve list as each year tickets always become available due to people not being able to make it.
If any of you tip fishing fans from the area want to come down to the reservoirs to watch the cream of the countries top feeder anglers compete over this great competition you are more than welcome to watch but please make sure you stay behind the walls at the top of each dam wall to give the anglers the space they need, it is also a great vantage point to see all the action as the anglers cross rods in battle.
Alternatively if you wish to enter the tournament tickets cost £35 and are non refundable which can only be bought from Adlington Angling Centre.
The one main change to ticket sales this year will be that if you manage to get through to the final it will be the anglers responsibility to sell any unwanted tickets on themselves but they must notify Andy Gibbs at the shop of any name changes for all the qualifiers where tickets have been sold on.
Lastly we would like to wish you all the best of luck with getting tickets and see you all soon back on the banks very soon!
