The
Northern Ultimate Tour Challenge
consists of 4 bass tournaments.
These tournaments qualify for
participation in the year-end
tournament, the Wisconsin Bass
Classic, NBAA Fall Classic and NBAA
National Championship-Black Bracket.
These are 2-man team tournaments.
The entry fee for each of the 4
tournaments is $150.00 per team.
There is also an optional Big Bass
pot, which is $10.00 per team. 100%
of the Big Bass pot at each
tournament will be paid at the
ramp. 20% of the entry fees
received at each tournament will go
into the Wisconsin Bass Classic-2012
pot, to be paid to the Top 3
finishers in the Championship
Bracket at the Classic. More
specific information on the
structure and paybacks at the
Classic are explained in the
Wisconsin Bass Classic-2012 section
of this website.
Each participant in any of these
tournaments must have an annual WTC/NBAA
membership, which allows them to
participate in any WTC event for
2012, plus take advantage of any
discounts offered by WTC and NBAA
sponsors. An annual individual
membership is $20 which includes
membership into WTC and NBAA. An
annual family membership is $30,
which includes 2 memberships in WTC
and NBAA, and covers fathers,
mothers, sons, daughters, brothers
and sisters. The membership fees
can be submitted along with the
first entry form. Membership fees
can not be post-dated.
In addition to the
monies paid at each tournament,
every team participating in a
Northern Ultimate Tour Challenge
tournament will receive points.
These points will determine
Divisional Top Team honors, boat
positions at the Wisconsin Bass
Classic, NBAA Fall Classic and the
NBAA National Championship. The
National Points Champion is a total
of all points earned in NBAA
tournaments. Members will also be
eligible for the Super Big Bass
drawings.
The
point system is based on the number
of boats per tournament, and all
participating teams will earn
points. 10 points will be added to
the number of boats participating,
for the total number of points
available. For example, in a 40
boat tournament, first place would
receive 50 points, second place
would receive 49 points, third place
would receive 48 points and so on.
Those teams not catching a fish will
be awarded 10 points less than the
lowest placing team. Total points
will determine Divisional Top Team
of the Year, first day boat
positions at the Wisconsin Bass
Classic-2012, the NBAA Fall Classic,
and the NBAA National tournament.
The NBAA National Point Champion is
determined from a total of all
points earned in any NBAA
tournament.
Teams in the
Northern Ultimate Tour Challenge who
fish all 4 tournaments in this
Division will qualify for Wisconsin
Bass Classic-2012.
The team earning the
most points, after 4 tournaments,
will receive Top Team-2012 in this
Division. Top Team honors include a
personalized St Croix Avid rod for
each member, plus the Top Team will
be able to fish all the qualifying
tournaments in the Northern Division
in 2013 for free.
An
individual may fish alone at the
first tournament they enter, on
behalf of the team, but must declare
who their partner will be. An
individual may fish 1 tournament
alone in a Division, and accumulate
points on behalf of that team,
providing they fish at least 1 event
together. Each team is allowed 2
substitutions during the year,
providing the other original does
not fish that event, and points will
stay with the original team. Points
can not be transferred between
teams. Points accumulated in a
Division will remain in that
Division
Specific rules applying to Wisconsin
Team Circuit tournaments can be seen
in the WTC Entry Form section of
this website and the NBAA website at

This
website will be updated after each
event with pictures and results from
each tournament. Also, be sure to
