General InformationThe D&R Championship is invite only! Teams that fished 3 of our regular season events will have the distinct privilege to enjoy world-class fishing on Houghton Lake in 2 days of competition. First place for this event will pay out over $10,000 as well as all of the rolled over contingencies from throughout the season. Entry fee for the event is $170 to teams who did not pre-pay. Take off positions will be drawn at random the morning of the event after a raffle is held for 1st and 2nd take offs as well as other prize packs from D&R Sports. On day 2 of the event, the top 30 teams will compete for the championship purse, the remaining field will be entered in a 2nd chance bracket where previous day weights are zeroed and the top 6 spots for day 2 weight only will get paid out.
