Update

After discussing with our board we have some updates-

⚠️ Motor Rule Update-Redfish World Championship ⚠️

In the interest of saving some anglers unnecessary expense when repowering for this event, and recognizing the negligible difference in performance between a 400hp and 500hp motor, we have increased the allowable limit to 500hp. No vessel shall exceed the horsepower limitations as set by the U.S. Coast Guard horsepower rating plate attached to the boat by the manufacturer.

This adjustment is final. We will not go above 500hp.

The tower boat rule stands, however, not only is there a picture of what is allowed and what is not allowed there is now also a complete definition of what a tower boat is defined as. If there Is still confusion on anyone's part, you can send us a picture and we will let you know if it conforms to our policy or not.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we continue to make this event fair, competitive, and accessible for all who may qualify.

We will be working to get contact info for the Power Pole series teams who have qualified for the 2026 RWC. Since the FRS and Power Pole 2025 seasons have completed we will start with those invites.
We will need a yes or no to the Invite by November 15th, 2025. If we do not hear back by that time we will take that as a no and move on to the next team and your Invite will be rescinded.
Please note a $500 deposit must be made between January 1st and January 15th 2026 to secure your spot in this coveted field.
Any deposits not made by this time, those Invites will then be rescinded and given to the next qualified team.

Please make sure you have read the rules completely to make sure your boat falls within the requirements and you're aware of all that this tournament entails.
