“Hello All Competitors! The 2009 US National Fly Fishing Championships are quickly approaching. It has been determined that we will be qualifying the top 5 finishers from the following regionals; New Mexico, Michigan, Oregon, Montana and North Carolina. If one of the last two regionals does not occur, we will be utilizing either the 2008 Utah Regional and/or the 2008 Colorado Regional for an alternate team. This makes 5 regional teams, 4 Team USA Teams, 1 Canadian Team. The point system has been confirmed through June and is included in this email. Some modifications were performed due to re-evaluation of weighting previous events. The following multipliers were used for the points: All regional events were given their points with no multiplier. The 2007 National Championship, 2008 America Cup and 2008 Canadian National Championship were given a 1.5 multiplier. The 2008 and 2009 World Championships were given the most weight with a 5X multiplier. The 2009 National Championship will be given the weight of a 3X multiplier. As a reminder, there will be no points awarded for this year’s America Cup. Those that have qualified thus far should be receiving contact from the National Championship committee in regards to information and dates. I look forward to seeing everyone there!
Regards, Anthony Naranja”
