The Hawg Hawlers Bass Club has adopted a point
system to determine the best angler of the year. The angler receiving the
highest number of points for the current year, will be designated the Hawg
Hawlers "Angler of the Year".
Angler of the Year Points - Tie Breaker
If at the end of the tournament year, two or more anglers have the same point
total, the tie will be broken by comparing the following categories, in
order, until the tie is broken: Creel Points, Attendance Points, 1st Place
Points, 2nd Place Points, etc.
Place Points (as noted below)
Since it is more of an accomplishment to finish first in a tournament with more
participants, a greater number of points should be awarded for winning a
tournament with a larger number of boats. Therefore, the number of place points
awarded in a tournament, will be determined by the number of places scheduled to
be paid in that tournament. The schedule below will specify the number of points
to be awarded, in accordance with the payout sheet. (note: Place points are
awarded to each angler of the team, they DO NOT double if an
angler is fishing alone).

Tournament - Tie Breaker: If two or more teams should register the same
weight for a tournament, and that weight would position those teams in a
"money place", the teams that are tied, will receive ALL OF THE POINTS FOR
THE HIGHEST POSITION TIED FOR. (note: they will split the total prize money
for the tied positions)
Creel Points (3 points per fish)
Each angler will receive 3 points for each legal fish weighed-in, to a
maximum of 15 points (5 fish) per day.
Short Fish Point Penalty (3 points
per fish)
Any angler that presents a
fish at weigh in, that is determined to be shorter than the minimum legal length
for that lake, will be assessed a penalty of 3 points against their Angler of
the Year points total. This penalty will be in addition to the 2 pound penalty
for the tournament. These penalties will be assessed for each short fish
presented. A Courtesy Bump Board will be available for use by club members at
all club tournaments. All participants are encouraged to verify that their fish
are of legal length prior to presenting them to the weigh in team.
Attendance Points (3 points per tournament)
Each angler will be awarded three points for each Hawg Hawlers club tournament in which they are a registered participant. (Qualifications: being present at a minimum of one pre-tournament meeting, with boat in the water).
BIG Bass Points (5 points for big bass
of weekend, 4 points for other day big bass)
Since the Big Bass competition is separate from the tournament competition, dead
fish tournament penalties WILL NOT be considered in the weight of fish for Big
Bass. The angler weighing in the heaviest bass, by weight, for each day of the
tournament (regardless of penalties), will be awarded 4 Big Bass points, in
addition to the creel point for the fish. The Big Bass of the weekend
will receive 1 additional point, for a total of 5 points. In the case of one-day
tournaments, 5 points will be awarded for Big Bass.
Tournament Director Points (3 points
per angler)
Due to the duties required, an angler fishing alone may NOT serve as Tournament
Director. Anglers must sign up and compete as a team (1 boat), to qualify for
Tournament Director Points. Each angler serving as a Tournament Director at a
scheduled Hawg Hawler Tournament will be awarded three points. Anglers may only
receive 3 (three) tournament director points per tournament season. To be
eligible to receive points for serving as tournament director, the anglers must
perform the following duties:
1) Pre-tournament:
a. Conduct livewell checks (starting 30 minutes prior to take off).
b. Distribute boat numbers.
c. Assist club officers as needed.
2) Take off:
a. Direct the take off.
b. Check for life jackets and kill switch compliance.
3) Weigh in:
a. Assist club Officers as needed.
