We are very fortunate to be holding this event there. The PVA Grand National Championship will be similar in format to the BassMasters Classic , whereby anglers earn their way to the event. Only those that have earned the right by proving themselves on our national trail will be there. According to Geoff Hopkins, Associate Director of Sports and Recreation for PVA, With the help of the local PVA chapters and the state B.A.S.S. Federations across the nation, we have grown to a point that it is now time for a National Championship. In addition the previous years Trail Champion will also receive an invitation to come and defend their title Hopkins said.
Plans call for a cut tournament format to be used.
