Anglers will want to note that new for 2013 is a change to the BFL points system. Every angler participating in a tournament receives a minimum of 20 points, and every angler participating in a super tournament receives a minimum of 30 points. Anglers must earn weight credit to receive points (above the minimum) for their finish. This change rewards loyal anglers who fish all five tournaments in a division.
