Since points are how you get invited to the Championship; thought I'd give you a snapshot in time. Of course, this moves and changes as we have more tournaments. But you can look at the East Division leaderboard, the Central division leaderboard and the Challenge Points leaderboard and see where YOU fit into this possible scenario. This does not mean that these teams are "in" the Championship. It only means that if the decision were being made today based on the points as of today, this is what it would be. If you like seeing stuff likee this tell me. If not, tell me so I don't waste my time posting things you guys don't care about. Wondering if this helps you see where you are at and if you need to pick up a 4th tournament or not, etc.
As of today there would be 7 teams from the East, 26 from the Central, 14 from the Challenge and 5 from Cabela's NTC. Don't have those names yet.

This post is a very good idea. I always want to know where I am in the standings. On the main web page the leader board seems to be missing a few teams. I would hate to see some anglers think they have made the Championship when they actually have not. It needs to be updated.
I checked the "leaderboard" and everything looks updated there. If yours hasn't updated you might want to hit "refresh" as it is pulling from your cache (which can happen).
I haven't updated what is "above" on this post before Devils Lake. But I hope everyone realizes that a "snap shot in time" is not being "in the championship." There are still two more qualifying tournaments in the season. Anything could happen. It gets exciting to watch I think. Good luck everyone.
