To access how Performance Points are awarded to the Anglers, visit www.flwoutdoors.com, click on "Rules & Contingency Awards" in the "Tournament" main navigation dropdown.

    For each Angler a Player selects for a Pro Team, the Player will earn the same number of Performance Points the angler earns each actual 2013 FLW Tour Qualifying Tournament. Please note if an Angler is disqualified, or, if an Angler fails to catch any fish within the first three days of a particular Tournament, no Performance Points will be awarded to that Angler.

    In addition, if the Angler a Player selected to win the Tournament is the winner of that Tournament the Player earns 200 additional Bonus Points. A Player will also receive an additional 100 Bonus Points for each Angler the Player selected that is in the top ten finishes of the relevant Tournament.

    If you do not visit www.fantasyfishing.com and select a new Pro Team for the next Tournament, you shall receive zero points for that Tournament. If an Angler on your team is not registered for the relevant Tournament, you will receive zero Points for that Angler in that Tournament. If you do not select an Angler as the winner for that Tournament you will not be eligible for Bonus Points. Pro Team selections or changes must be received by Sponsor’s server within the Pro Team Selection Periods listed above. Sponsor's computer is the official clock for this Promotion. LIMIT ONE PRO TEAM/ENTRY PER PERSON/EMAIL ADDRESS PER GAME. Any attempt by any participant to select more than one Pro Team per game by using multiple/different email addresses, identities or other methods will disqualify that participant and void that participant's Pro Teams.

    In the event a Tournament is postponed and rescheduled, Sponsor will post notice on the Website as soon as practicable, and the timeframe to select or edit your Pro Team may be extended as posted by Sponsor at the Website. If, for any reason, a Tournament is cancelled and not rescheduled during the Promotion Period, that Tournament will be eliminated from this Promotion.
