π 3X9 CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFICATION
To qualify for Championship Weekend, an angler must have fished or registered for at least 13 of the 26 regular-season events.
Qualification is based on the individual angler, not on fishing with the same partner all season.
That means you may have fished different tournaments with different partners during the season. As long as you personally participated in or registered for at least 13 events, you are qualified for the Championship.
Your Championship partner must also meet the required qualification rules.
π₯ TEAM OF THE YEAR IS DIFFERENT
The Team of the Year race is based on the established team that competed together throughout the season.
Changing partners during the season may still allow you to qualify individually for the Championship, but those different combinations do not become one Team of the Year team.
Simple breakdown:
Championship Qualification:
13 of 26 events β qualification follows the individual angler.
Team of the Year:
Points follow the established team combination competing together during the season.
π£ 13 EVENTS GETS YOU TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
π THE SEASON-LONG TEAM COMPETES FOR TEAM OF THE YEAR.
