Point System for Tournaments & other Awards
| First Place | 15 points |
| Second Place | 12 points |
| Third Place | 10 points |
| Fourth Place | 8 points |
| Fifth Place | 6 points |
*Any angler placing after fifth place will receive 4 points for competing in the tournament. Even if an angler doesn’t turn in any fish to weigh, that angler is still awarded the points. Tournament anglers must fish from the start of the tournament until the end to receive these “participation” points.
*An additional 2 points will be added to the anglers score for catching the biggest bass of the tournament*
*Cash prizes will also be awarded (cash amounts will be determined by the number of participants.)
Tournament Awards
| 1) | 1st Place Trophy |
| 2) | 2nd Place Trophy |
| 3) | 3rd Place Trophy |
| 4) | Cash prizes* |
Tournament awards are awarded to the top three anglers during a club tournament. The angler with the heaviest three fish total weight 
will receive the first place trophy. The angler that finishes the tournament competition with the second heaviest three fish total weight will receive the second place trophy. The angler that finishes the tournament competition with the third heaviest three fish total weight will receive the third place trophy.
*Cash prizes will also be awarded, but the amount will be determined by the number of participants during the club tournament. The number of participants will also determine how many places will receive cash prizes. The following guideline is a rule that was determined by the club members on July 22nd 2006:
- For every five participants in a club tournament there will be a place payout. For example if there are five participants in a club tournament only 1st place would receive a cash prize. If there are ten participants in a club tournament 1st and 2nd place anglers would receive a cash prize. If there were fifteen participants in a tournament 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place anglers would receive a cash prize and so on.
NOTE: Tournament entry fees are now $20. The club must pay the ND Game and Fish 10% of the total amount of tournament entry fees. Of the remaining 90% of the total amount of tournament entry fees 70% of it must be paid back to the anglers, this is also a ND Game and Fish law. (That also includes the $2 for the big bass cash pot, which is automatically taken out of the $20.) The remaining 20% of the total amount of tournament entry fees will go towards the club account.
