Dear CBC Finalist,

Congratulations for qualifying for the first ever CBC State Championship finals at Clear Lake on August 12th and 13th at Red Bud Park.  You've made it through the locals and the regionals and that is something to be very proud of.  Along with your invitation to the State Championship you have qualified to begin the 2011 campain at the Regional level instead of the local level.  You will still need to pay the $118 entry but, your quest for the 2011 State Championship will be one step shorter than this season.

In this email, you will find the following information:
- Schedule of Events at Clear Lake
- A confirmation request regarding attendance
- A special offer for a net that we believe can be particulary effective for fishing solo.
- Accomodations for Clear Lake information

The City of Clear Lake is going to step up patrol of the park and areas around the hotels for us for the tournament dates. We should have no problems but, always lock everything and bring the important stuff into your rooms at night! 

Lastly - Team Signups - Don't miss out
The sign-ups for the Team event have been going well with several of the lake close to full.  Don't  miss out on your chance to win another great CBC event! Remember for the team events 30 boats is the maximum per local. There are 8 locals and no regionals. That's right, finish in the top 6 at the local and you move directly to the state championship which will be held on a great body of water mid-state.  In order to keep the playing field as fair as possible we are not announcing that lake until January 2011.  Yes, limits will be had by the majority of the field and lunkers live there too!  We enjoy putting our anglers to the test to get to the CBC championship but, we do believe the State Championship should be good fishing, and it will be!

We will be announcing the modified payback (according to the entries) this week.

Thanks and see you soon,
