The assignment of anglers into Group A and Group B are done based on the Angler of Year standings.
The total weight of fish caught by these (10) anglers during the Tournament according to the official Bass Pro Tour rules (https://majorleaguefishing.com/circuits/bass-pro-tour/rules/) will determine a participant’s final score for the Game.
Eligible participants who enter their selections manually (not using the Use Last Selections feature) and accrue the most total weight (tie-breaker rules set forth below apply) in the Game may be declared a Game winner (subject to verification of qualification) and get the applicable Prize (as set forth in the prize section below), in accordance with these Official Rules.

On rare occasions, MLF may go back in the days and weeks following a Tournament and adjust weights for purposes of the Tournament. These potential weight adjustments WILL NOT have any bearing on the results of the Game.

You further agree to accept and abide by the rulings and the decisions of MLF regarding all questions of sportsmanship and fairness. If a participant does not comply with the sportsmanship and fairness rules as embodied in these Official Rules, or MLF determines (in MLF’s sole discretion) that a participant has acted in an unsportsmanlike or unfair manner, MLF reserves the right to disqualify the participant and/or remove that participant from the Game. All decisions by MLF in sportsmanship and fairness related matters will be final.
3. Prizes

Additionally, the first place finisher will receive a $150 Pure Fishing gift card and the second place finisher will receive a $100 Pure Fishing gift card.
Total ARV of all prizes is $2249.80.
Tiebreaker Rules
The twenty (20) eligible participants who accrue the most total weight during the Game Period will comprise the Top-20 Prize pool (“Top-20 Pool”).
Places one (1) through twenty (20) in the Top-20 Pool will be determined by descending order of total weight accrued during the Game Period. Participants finishing in one of the top 20 places in the Top-20 Pool will be declared Top-20 Winners.
In the event of a tie for one or more of the top 20 places in the Top-20 Pool, the participant(s), from amongst those tied participants, who correctly predicted or is closest to the correct total weight of scoreable fish the Tournament winner caught during the Championship Round (June 11, 2023) (“Tiebreaker Question”) will be declared the higher finisher in the Top-20 Pool (qualification rules apply).
If a tie remains, the eligible participant with the earliest Official Entry Time will be declared the higher finisher in the Top-20 Pool (qualification rules apply).
Please note: Any participant that fails to answer/predict the tie-breaker question(s), will not be eligible to participate in the tie-breaker.
Once a participant’s place has been determined, any remaining ties for the next place will be broken by using the tiebreaker process again with the remaining participants who are tied.
After all ties have been broken and all places in the Top-20 Pool have been determined, only participants finishing in one of the top 20 places in the Top-20 Pool will be declared Top-20 Winners. For the purposes of clarity, participants finishing in place 21 or lower in the Top-20 Pool (i.e. place 21, place 22, place 23, etc.) WILL NOT receive a Top-20 Prize.
Prize Notification
Each potential Top-20 Winner will be notified via email within thirty (30) days from the end of the Game Period.

Signing Up
Participants may sign up to the Game at any time, during the Game Period, by visiting the Major League Fishing 2023 Fantasy Game – TWI 5 page accessible at https://majorleaguefishing.com/fantasy-fishing/ (the “MLF Site”).
Entering the Game/Making Picks
In order to participate in the Game, participants must, during the Game Entry Period: (i) go to the MLF Site; (ii) if not already, register for and sign-up to your account; (iii) manually complete the entry form by predicting the ten (10) anglers who will catch the highest cumulative weight of scorable fish during the Tournament based on the criteria outlined below; (iv) answer the tie-breaker question(s) if any; and (v) hit the submit button to save your entry form (and answers) and accept the Official Rules. The time at which the participant completes these actions as determined by MLF will be considered the participant’s official entry time (‘Official Entry Time”).
You must make all selections manually. If you use the Use Last Selections feature, you will be ineligible to receive a prize for this Game.
PLEASE NOTE: You must hit the submit button every time you make a change to your answers, otherwise your new answer(s)/pick(s) will not override your previous pick(s). If you change your answers at any time during the Game Period, your Official Entry Time will update accordingly to match the most recent time you hit the submit button. On rare occasion there may be an angler who drops from the Tournament and/or is replaced by another angler. Administrator will use best efforts to communicate these change(s) within the Build My Teams portion of the Game and via email to participants who have picked the dropped angler. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the player to review their picks prior to the end of the Game Entry Period to determine if they would like to make any changes to their picks for any reason including dropped anglers and/or replacement anglers.
Though you do not need to answer every question presented (including the tie-breaker question(s) if any), if you end up in a tie and you have not entered and saved the tie-breaker prediction(s)/answer(s) if any, you will not be eligible for consideration, for the tie-break. We suggest you answer all questions for the Game. Administrator, at its sole discretion, will select the questions for the Game and list them on the MLF Site.
By entering the Game, you represent and warrant you are aware that a participant’s name may be displayed in full (first name and last name) or partial (first name and first initial of last name) format in certain instances within the Major League Fantasy Game. If you do not want your name to appear on Major League Fishing Fantasy Game pages, we suggest you go to your registration page and change your personal information within the “Options” tab; more specifically, the information you input in the “Your Name” area. The information you write into the “Your Name” area, is the information that will be displayed on the Major League Fishing Fantasy Game pages. We cannot ensure the security of any information you choose to make public in the Major League Fishing Fantasy Game pages, chat room, forum, or message board. Also, we cannot ensure that parties who have access to such publicly available information will respect your privacy. Please exercise caution when disclosing personal information in these areas.
Scoring
Each participant will choose five (5) anglers from Flight 1 and five anglers (5) from Flight 2 as defined at the time the Game opens. At least one (1) of the anglers selected in Flight 1 and at least one (1) of the anglers selected in Flight 2 MUST be ranked 40th or below in the Angler of the Year standings at the time the Game opens. The assignment of anglers into Flight 1 and Flight 2 are done based on the Angler of the Year standings.
The total weight of fish caught by these (10) anglers during the Tournament according to the official Tackle Warehouse Invitationals rules (https://majorleaguefishing.com/circuits/invitationals/rules/) will determine a participant’s final score for the Game.
Eligible participants who enter their selections manually (not using the Use Last Selections feature) and accrue the most total weight (tie-breaker rules set forth below apply) in the Game may be declared a Game winner (subject to verification of qualification) and get the applicable Prize (as set forth in the prize section below), in accordance with these Official Rules.
PLEASE NOTE: The final official weights as determined by MLF immediately following the completion of the Tournament will be the weights used to calculate total weight and ultimately prize winners for the Game. On rare occasions, MLF may go back in the days and weeks following a Tournament and adjust weights for purposes of the Tournament. These potential weight adjustments WILL NOT have any bearing on the results of the Game.
Deadlines
The end of the Game Entry Period is the official posted start time of the Tournament on June 17, 2023. MLF is the Official Timekeeper for this Game.
General Sportsmanship
By participating, you agree to abide by the general sportsmanship and fairness rules set forth in these rules and fantasy games in general. You further agree to accept and abide by the rulings and the decisions of MLF regarding all questions of sportsmanship and fairness. If a participant does not comply with the sportsmanship and fairness rules as embodied in these Official Rules, or MLF determines (in MLF’s sole discretion) that a participant has acted in an unsportsmanlike or unfair manner, MLF reserves the right to disqualify the participant and/or remove that participant from the Game. All decisions by MLF in sportsmanship and fairness related matters will be final.
3. Prizes
The twenty (20) eligible participants who accrue the most total weight during the Game Period will be declared Top-20 Prize Winners (“Top-20 Winners”) (qualification and tie-breaker rules apply).
The Prize consists of an Abu Garcia Vengeance Rod/Reel combo (ARV US$99.99) (the “Top-20 Prize”). Each Top-20 Winner will receive one (1) Top-20 Prize.
Additionally, the first place finisher will receive a $150 Pure Fishing gift card and the second place finisher will receive a $100 Pure Fishing gift card.
Total ARV of all prizes is $2249.80.
Tiebreaker Rules
The twenty (20) eligible participants who accrue the most total weight during the Game Period will comprise the Top-20 Prize pool (“Top-20 Pool”).
Places one (1) through twenty (20) in the Top-20 Pool will be determined by descending order of total weight accrued during the Game Period. Participants finishing in one of the top 20 places in the Top-20 Pool will be declared Top-20 Winners.
In the event of a tie for one or more of the top 20 places in the Top-20 Pool, the participant(s), from amongst those tied participants, who correctly predicted or is closest to the correct total weight of scoreable fish the Tournament winner caught during the Championship Round (June 19, 2023) (“Tiebreaker Question”) will be declared the higher finisher in the Top-20 Pool (qualification rules apply).
If a tie remains, the eligible participant with the earliest Official Entry Time will be declared the higher finisher in the Top-20 Pool (qualification rules apply).
Please note: Any participant that fails to answer/predict the tie-breaker question(s), will not be eligible to participate in the tie-breaker.
Once a participant’s place has been determined, any remaining ties for the next place will be broken by using the tiebreaker process again with the remaining participants who are tied.
After all ties have been broken and all places in the Top-20 Pool have been determined, only participants finishing in one of the top 20 places in the Top-20 Pool will be declared Top-20 Winners. For the purposes of clarity, participants finishing in place 21 or lower in the Top-20 Pool (i.e. place 21, place 22, place 23, etc.) WILL NOT receive a Top-20 Prize.
Prize Notification
Each potential Top-20 Winner will be notified via email within thirty (30) days from the end of the Game Period. Winner(s) may need to complete and submit to MLF an Affidavit of Eligibility and release (the “Affidavit”) and a W-9 tax form where applicable.

Tiebreaker Rules
The twenty (20) eligible participants who accrue the most points during the Game Period will comprise the Top-20 Prize pool (“Top-20 Pool”).

If two (2) or more eligible participants tie for the most points accrued during the Game Period, the participant(s), from amongst those tied participants, who correctly predicted or is closest to the correct number of anglers who recorded a one-day total weight (five bass limit) of 16 pounds or more during the Championship Round of the Tournament (June 11, 2023) (Question #6) (“Tiebreaker Question #1”) will be declared the higher finisher in the Top-20 Pool (qualification rules apply).

For the purposes of clarity, participants finishing in place 21 or lower in the Top-20 Pool (i.e. place 21, place 22, place 23, etc.) WILL NOT receive a Top-20 Prize.
