Snickers still top sponsor team on FLW Tour
Team Lawry's No. 1 at Beaver Lake, advances a whopping four places in overall standings
Team Lawry’s proved that it is much more than a flavor of the week during the Wal-Mart FLW Tour’s Beaver Lake tournament held in mid-April. Team Lawry’s rubbed salt in the wounds of the rest of the sponsor teams competing in the 2003 FLW Tour, surpassing its closest competitor by a commanding 14 points in the teams points race.
Despite Team Lawry’s tremendous effort at the FLW Tour’s fourth stop of the season, Team Snickers managed to reel in enough points at Beaver Lake to stay on top of the overall standings list, a position it has held consistently since the beginning of the season. Team Skippy constitutes the next spiciest success story among sponsor teams competing on the FLW Tour, having earned second-place honors coming off of a disappointing 11th-place finish at the prior tournament.
Points in the 2003 sponsor-team race will be earned during the FLW Tour’s six qualifying events and monitored throughout the season.
Team Stanley, having returned to second place in the overall standings, is again hot on the heels of the Snickers crew with only a 1.25-point buffer separating them.
Anglers representing sponsor teams will mix it up with the rest of the pro field during the next FLW Tour event scheduled to take place May 14-17 on Kentucky Lake.
Current overall standings include results from the first four FLW Tour events that have taken place so far this season. Sponsor-team standings are based on the average number of points earned by the anglers fishing for any given team as assigned in the FLW Tour’s Angler of the Year competition:
1. Snickers – 534.5 points
2. Stanley – 533.25
3. Castrol – 485.5
4. Lawry’s – 484
5. Fujifilm – 477
6. Kellogg’s – 459.6
7. Banana Boat – 447
8. Hellmann’s – 401
9. 7 Up – 398.67
10. Land O’Lakes – 372
11. Skippy – 355
12. Lipton Sides – 164
Each of the dozen sponsor teams competed in the most recent FLW Tour tournament, which took place April 9-12 on Beaver Lake, and results from that event have been tallied:
1. Lawry’s
2. Skippy
3. Stanley
4. Banana Boat
5. Land O’Lakes
6. Fujifilm
7. Snickers
8. Kellogg’s
9. 7 Up
10. Castrol
11. Hellmann’s
12. Lipton Sides
Standout performances from the last tournament among anglers on sponsored teams include Team Lawry’s Jim Moynagh of Carver, Minn., who netted a fourth-place finish, and Team Stanley’s Scott Martin of Clewiston, Fla., who earned an eighth-place finish.
