We have two rule changes, otherwise, everything else stays as is.  
The first rule change is that we are eliminating the “first-come, first-served” boat numbering.  We will draw boat numbers by random assignment.
The second rule change (based on club vote) is that the 2026-point circuit final standings will be based on a team’s best 3 events.  In other words, if a team fishes all 4 events, they can “drop” their lowest finish.  
 
To participate in any NJBF events, you must be a NJBF member.  Interested but not a member, contact Secretary Nick Angiulo at nickangiulo@verizon.net for more information.
