Scoring of events-

- Points awarded will be 100, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 91 for top 10. 85 pts for 11th on unless skunked. Skunked anglers will receive 75 points as long as they fish.

Series point system-
Anglers will track their 15 biggest fish during the course of the season to see what bonuses are given for the playoffs.
- Anglers must fish 6 of the 7 events to be eligible for the championship (Wade War). All anglers will make the NAPRA CUP (1st round)
-Bonuses given during the season: 1st place finish (+15) 2nd place (+9) 3rd place (+5) and 4th (+1)/ Big Bass (+2) and if you fish all 7 events you get a +10 bonus barring family emergency cleared by the CEO and President MUTUALLY.

- AOY and ROY points based on Total Inches and bonuses given through the NC
-The Wade War will be winner take all!
Playoff rules:
- Anglers must fish 6 events to be eligible for the playoffs including #7 UNLESS an emergency. If you can't fish #7 you will be placed in last place. It messes up points awarded for ROY, AOY, etc.
-Anglers may not prefish spots after Thursday at 12noon. If you feel you must prefish multiple days the competitiveness is taking over and this league may not be for you. NAPRA CEO Pete Ziehler pre-fishes often for the purpose of checking river conditions out.
- Final decision on moving/cancelling events will be made by the President and seconded by the CEO. If either feels the water or temperature warrants a move it will be posted by 6pm Saturday. With storms often rolling in Saturday night a move may happen at the spur of the moment. Be flexible and have phones on by 530am..
Conduct rules:
- Anglers must be ready for the morning meeting at 715. We will release anglers to fish about 728. We will fish ALL the same spot with a few possible alternate spots.
-No drugs, alcohol, etc. allowed before, during or after events. Failure to comply will result in a 2 event suspension.
-Anglers will not get in each others way or take spots that may hold fish in case the angler needs to move to score fish. Ask for permission to fish same areas. Failure to do so will result in a 20" deduction from your total.
-Anglers must fish the entire event and not leave barring a family emergency or illness. If you leave you will only receive the skunk total of 75 pts
-Failure to produce pictures of fish or cheating in the process will result in IMMEDIATE removal from the league and backpay of the value of prizes given to you. Reminder, if you want a Ranger Boat join the FLW
-Have fun! This is for fun!
UNWRITTEN RULE~
* This is fun first. If you wish to be a pain, please remove yourself prior to embarrassing your credibility as an angler.
