Cabela’s 2009 NTC and MWC walleye tournaments
set for Devils Lake, N.D., July 25-26

SIDNEY, Neb. – Cabela’s 2009 National Team Championship (NTC) walleye tournament will be held in Devils Lake, North Dakota July 25-26, in conjunction with the Cabela’s Masters Walleye Circuit (MWC) West Division tournament.

“The first Cabela’s NTC was held along with the MWC and the partnership proved to be a great one,” said Chris Sprangers, Cabela’s marketing manager. “We’re really excited to have rekindled this business relationship for the 2009 Cabela’s NTC, the eighth edition of this event.”

The MWC is the longest-running professional walleye tournament circuit in the United States and provides a competitive platform for walleye anglers. The MWC office in Minnetonka, Minn. will handle tournament registration and correspondence with clubs and anglers for both the MWC and NTC. The 2009 MWC entry form will feature a method for entering into the NTC as well. Forms will be mailed in early December. The entry fee for the Cabela’s NTC is $300 per team and the entry fee for the Cabela’s MWC event is $800 per team. Membership is required to fish the MWC side and costs $40 per person.

The NTC, one of the most prestigious walleye tournaments in the country, is considered by many to be the pinnacle of competitive walleye fishing. Teams qualify for the NTC by accumulating points through competition in local tournaments organized by more than 50 sanctioned grass roots walleye clubs across the United States. The field size for the upcoming championship event is expected to be 200 to 225 teams.

Information regarding the 2010 NTC will be released early in 2009.

"The 2009 MWC entry form will feature a method for entering into the NTC as well."


Would the MWC'ers be able to fish the NTC without otherwise qualifying for it?

Wow, NTC information out this soon. Info to be released about the 2010 NTC. What more can we ask for. Run it with the MWC. Maybe ERIE in 2010.

That's how I read it also. Should be wrong tho.

I'm thinking, "No". I think what they mean is that out of those who qualified, they still need to officially enter.... I think that's what they are talking about.

Afterall, a person who qualified may not go for whatever reason, so they need to have all who qualified, and plan to go...enter. That way, they know who is and who isn't going, and if someone doesn't go, they can invite the next person in line.

That's how I read it. If it's a "quailifier", people cannot just enter it.

When they held the NTC in conjunction with the MWC at Mille Lacs years back, I believe that if a team was qualified for the NTC, and were also fishing the MWC tournament, their weight was recorded for both events at the same time.
Those of us who were fishing only the MWC that year, went across the same stage as the NTC'rs.
I can't recall how many flights there were that year, but I'm thinking it was 4 flights.

It was very well organized, so it didn't take that long to get everyone across the stage in a timely fashion.

At least that is my memory of it. :)
