FLW announced today the 2016 Rayovac FLW Series schedule, which will consist of three events in each of the five divisions: Central, Northern, Southeastern, Southwestern and Western. The former Texas Division has been renamed the Southwestern Division and will feature stops in Oklahoma and Texas.
The 2016 no-entry-fee Rayovac FLW Series Championship will be held on Table Rock Lake in Kimberling City, Mo.
The top 40 pros and co-anglers in the final point standings in each division after three qualifying tournaments will advance to the 2016 Rayovac FLW Series Championship, provided they fished all three qualifiers in a division.
The highest-finishing pro from each of the five regular Rayovac FLW Series divisions plus the new International Division based on final results at the 2016 Rayovac FLW Series Championship will qualify for the 2017 Forrest Wood Cup. Also, the top five overall finishers at the 2016 Championship who have not already qualified as their division representative will qualify for the 2017 Cup, for a total of 11 Rayovac FLW Series pros advancing to the 2017 Forrest Wood Cup.
Complete rules and entry dates will be announced soon.
