In the event of a tie (total points) in the top six points race for either 1st or 6th place, the tie will be broken by first evaluating the total weight of the fish caught by each individual (the heavier weight being the winner); if a tie remains then the total number of fish weighed in will be evaluated (the individual with the most fish being the winner). If this method fails to break the tie, an 8-hour fish-off will be conducted under the direction and supervision of the tournament director to break the tie. The top six team for the state tournament will be decided by order of point rankings at the end of the tournament year. Alternates will be determined by starting at seventh place and continuing in numerical order until the team is established. Boaters and non-boaters will be determined by order of ranking.
