Points are awarded as such:

Participation in any event: 5 points
1st Place finish: 5 points
2nd Place finish: 3 points
3rd place finish: 2 points
'Big Fish' for the day: 2 points (awarded separately each day, in the event of a 2-day tourney)

One thing to keep in mind, in both points AND weights: just by showing up, you get points (and they add up, trust me -- I was surprised how high up I got, with no stellar finishes to speak of!), and those weights get up there, too, even if you only bring in a couple of pounds each time.

Also, if you're really after 'Angler of the Year' (for 'most weight'), you don't want to miss those 2-day Clear Lake events!

Everybody got their **SENKO's**??? I hear they're pretty hard to come by at the tackle shops up there! Let's go GET 'EM!!!
