How to Qualify for Invitational Championship:

Point System for All WMTS™ Sanctioned Events

• Teams will receive points equal to the total inches of fish caught
• In addition, teams will receive points equal to the total number of team participating in each tournament on a descending scale.
  For example:
  1st place = 100% of teams participating (125 teams participating = 125 points)
  2nd place = 90%                        (125 teams participating = 112.5 points)
  3rd place = 80%                        (125 teams participating = 100 points)
  4th place = 70%                        (125 teams participating = 87.5 points)
  5th place = 60%                        (125 teams participating = 75 points)
  6th place = 59%(all places from 6th place and down will decrease 1% per place)
  
• Teams not registering a muskie will not place, thus will not receive any points.
• In the event that a two-day tournament doesn't have a full field, the percentages of first place on down remains the same, however the appropriate percentage will be multiplied by the number of participating teams.
  For example: 1st place with 120 participating teams = 120 points
  2nd place with 120 participating teams = 108 points
  3rd place with 120 participating teams = 96 points
  4th place with 120 participating teams = 84 points
  5th place with 120 participating teams = 72 points
  6th place with 120 participating teams = 70.80 points
  Example of continuing down to 34th place:
  34th place with 120 participating teams at 31% = 10.54 points
• Once teams are given an invitation to the Championship, they must advise the WMTS™ within TWO WEEKS of their intention to attend (or not). If the WMTS™ is not advised by the end of the two week period, the next team in line will be invited to replace the team who did not advise the WMTS™ of their intentions.
