NEW FOR 2015 –

STATE CHAMPIONS CROWNED AT EACH EVENT! Earn the “STATE CHAMPIONS” title!

  • All MWC event(s) will be designated as one or more “State Championship qualifying events” for the state(s) that the event is being held in.
  • For any state (Or Province) where MWC is NOT hosting an event in (for example Nebraska), the FIRST event on the schedule where (10) ten or more teams from a non-hosting state registers for an event will be designated as that states championship for that year and the highest finishing team from that state will be crowned as the 2015 State Champions. So talk to your buddies and sign up for an event!
  • In states where MWC hosts only one MWC event each year (for instance PA) the winners of that event earns a State Champions title for that year for that state regardless of where they live.
  • In states that MWC hosts 2 or more regular season MWC events in the SAME state, (for example MN, WI, MI) teams will be required to count scores for all events designated as hosted in that state to earn that state champions title.
  • No state champion can be crowned without a minimum of 10 teams participating from that state.
  • In the event of a MWC team whose anglers reside in two different states the state designation will follow the boat captain whose boat the team fishes from.
  • State Champions prizes will include at a minimum, Custom State Champions trophy’s, Custom State Champions decals for boat and truck, a Spot in the Cabela’s NTC, pictures up on the New State Champions wall of fame page on the website, and more State Champions only benefits that will be announced.

NEW FOR 2015 –
MWC WILDCARD EVENT:

  • MWC has designated (1) one late season events at Dubuque Iowa as a World Walleye Championship WILDCARD qualifier.
  • Teams must sign up and fish the regular season MWC event that the wildcard qualifier is attached to in order to enter the wildcard qualifier.
  • Additionally, teams MUST have fished at least two (2) other events during the season to be wildcard eligible, which would make the wildcard qualifier a team’s 3rd event of the season (minimum).
  • Yearly points standings DO apply to the event however, DO NOT apply to the wildcard qualifier.

There will be an additional wildcard entry fee of $200 per team a minimum of 80% of which will be added directly to the World Walleye Championship payout. There will be (1) one WWC spot allocated for each 10 Wildcard entries. For example: If 33 teams sign up for the wildcard qualifier, 3 teams will earn spots to the WWC and each qualified team adds $1,760.00 to the WWC payout or an additional $5,280 to the total WWC payout. (Verses a team fishing 3 regular events and qualifying for the WWC who puts $385.50 into the WWC payout.  The balance will go to help support the Team of the Year and State Champions prizes.
