All confirmation emails have now been sent, please check your spam/junk folders.

Then in 5-10 working days your ticket & number will be emailed to you, with a link to respond and upload your ID pic.

Again we just want to thank you all, its very humbling when there is so much demand for tickets to this tournament, and very sad when people miss out. But every year as it gets closer to the comp anglers are unable to make it for what ever reason, so please make sure you put your name on the waiting list.
