Welcome to the Official
website of Wisconsin Team Circuit (WTC).
2012 will be our 15th year of
organizing Bass tournaments and our 2nd
year of organizing ice fishing tournaments.
Our mission of WTC has not
changed over the past 15 years. When we
started WTC in 1998 our main mission was to
have each tournament become an event, rather
than just showing-up, fish, weigh-in your
fish, go home. Instead we wanted each
tournament to be more memorable and a
learning experience for both the novice
tournament and seasoned tournament anglers.
We try to host every WTC tournament
out of a private business on the tournament
lake rather than a boat ramp. This type of
venue allows the anglers to easily meet and
talk with each other. This has been a great
way for the anglers to make new friends,
share experiences and learn more about
tournament fishing and fishing in general.
2012 will be an exciting year
for WTC and the anglers who participate in
our tournaments.
In the
past we have held our qualifying bass
tournaments on lakes located mainly in west
central Wisconsin. In
the past couple of years, a number of small
tournaments have sprung up in this area,
which serve to
divide a tournament angler’s time. We
analyzed the overall tournament situation in
Wisconsin and came
to the conclusion that for Wisconsin Team
Circuit to remain a viable tournament
organization into the
future, changes needed to be made.
One of these changes is the
joining forces of Wisconsin Team Circuit and
National Bass Anglers Association (NBAA).
Without changing the structure of WTC,
joining forces with NBAA gives the WTC
anglers who want it, the chance to fish in
National Championships. WTC tournaments
will be part of the NBAA Weekend Series.
In 2012 our qualifying
tournaments will be divided into two
Divisions. What are now the Bill’s and
Bear’s Series tournaments will be combined
into the Northern
Ultimate Tour
Challenge (NBAA Black Bracket),
which will have 4 tournaments. We will also
be offering a
Southern Ultimate Tour Challenge (NBAA Blue
Bracket), which will also have 4
tournaments. Each Division will be limited
to 50, 2-man teams competing in each
tournament. These Divisional tournaments
will be qualifying tournaments for the
year-end championship, the
Wisconsin Bass
Classic-2012-Wisconsin State Championship.
By having the top bass anglers from
throughout Wisconsin, this event will truly
become a Wisconsin Team State Championship.
NBAA/WTC
anglers can also earn eligibility into the
NBAA Fall Classic, The NBAA National
Championship,
enter the race for NBAA National Point
Champion, and entry into Super Big Bass
drawings.
The Northern Division, Southern
Division and Wisconsin Bass Classic have
their own sections on this
website where you can get more specific
information on each of them. Additional
information is also
available on the entry form located on this
site.
In 2011 we began offering 4
ice fishing tournaments. Without an ice
fishing tournament circuit existing in
Wisconsin, this was a learning year for all
of us. Everyone had a great time at them,
so we are going to
offer these tournaments again in 2012. You
can learn more about this interesting
tournament format in
the Wisconsin Ice Fishing League section
located on this website. |
