The Fort Frances Canadian Bass Championship is adopting a new format for 2011.
It includes dividing the 120-teams on the final day into three fields based on total catches from the first two days. Weights are then wiped clean with winners determined in each field based on catches in the final day.
In a four-page release outlining the format, newly-elected president Gord Watson said it's based on angler input and gives all anglers an opportunity to earn money with more prizes awarded each day.
The championship is also capping the teams at 120.
