General Information

The D&R Championship is invite only! Teams that fished 4 of our regular season events will have the distinct privilege to enjoy world-class fishing on Hamlin 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.

Reminders

Tournament waters are closed to fishing and information for tournament participants starting at 6PM on Sunday Oct 5th until Friday Oct 10th at sunrise - this includes fishing, scanning/boating/scouting, having non-competitors scout the lake or soliciting information from any non-public source. Friday, Oct 10th will be the official practice day. Tournament waters are open from sunrise to 5pm. All navigable waters connected to Hamlin Lake are considered tournament waters. "Navigable water" will be defined as any legally accessible water an angler can access without physically leaving their boat to gain access. Tournament Directors reserve the right to amend these boundaries prior to the official practice day. All questions should be directed to them in regards to areas that may be in question.

All eligible teams will receive an invite via email. You must accept the invite and RSVP for the banquet to attend.
