The points system will be used to determine which entrants qualify for the Championship and which angler receives the coveted "Angler Of the Year" award.

A top three finish in any NEIT tournament will qualify an entrant to an invitation to the Championship, regardless of total points. 

Points will only be awarded at the regular season qualifying events, not at the championship.

The "Angler Of the Year" (AOY) award will be awarded to the entrant with the most points at the end of the IFPA tournament season based on the top points from up to four tournaments. In the event of a points tie, the AOY will be presented to the entrant who has the highest place at the championship. In the event that one of the entrants in the tie is unable to fish in the championship, that entrant will forfeit their chance to win the AOY.

WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF REVISING THE POINTS SYSTEM, IT WILL BE ANNOUNCED SHORTLY
