There is a 2 day Classic at KY LAKE Sept. 24 & 25. For all divisions who's teams made 250pts in their division. Also, the division point champions compete for the title "USA BASSIN NATIONAL POINTS CHAMPION" the national points team will receive $500.

Sounds like to me this would be great for the weekend angler. Wish there was a division on lake Shelbyville. I think I'll check into the Central Illinois division that will be fishing Lake Clinton, IL.
