FIRST TBF DREAM TEAM RALLY SET FOR LAKE HAMILTON, IND. MAY 6

Ponca City, Okla.(Feb 22, 2012) — The Bass Federation’s brand new Dream Team Rally team tournament trail is excited to announce the first TBF Club to schedule and host an event.  Cedar Creek

Bassmasters, club # 10890, of the Indiana Bass Federation was the first to register their event of TBF’s new and widely talked about Dream Team tournament Rally events.  Their rally will be held on Lake Hamilton, in Hamilton, Ind., on May 6.  The Dream Team Rally event is open to ALL TBF members, and  Lake Hamilton is located right in the northeast corner of Indiana; a short drive for both Ohio and Michigan TBF members.  Interested teams can go online at bassfederation.com; Dream Team; to enter, the tourney # is 1022.  ALL interested TBF clubs and state federations can also go online and register to host their own event of their choosing today! 

Cedar Creek Bassmaster’s President, Michael Combs, from Garrett, Ind., registered the event and is eager to host the first TBF Dream Team Rally.  "When we learned we could fish a local lake and earn a berth into TBF’s Dream Team National Championship Rally to fish for a fully-rigged Ranger boat, our club could not pass the opportunity up!” Combs said.  “The support TBF is providing with travel, boat gas and lodging compensation is giving all nationally qualified teams a week’s paid vacation! ”

“Think about it, even if there are 50 or 75 Dream Team Rallies in the US this year when it comes championship time those 50 or 75 qualified teams not only get a “paid” vacation but also get to compete for a new Ranger boat plus a national pile of cash and other prizes!”  TBF President, Robert Cartlidge, said.  “The odds don’t get much better than that! The more Dream Team events held the bigger the payout, and it all goes back to the members!”

TBF Dream Team Rallies are designed to fill a void not only in the federation, but also the fishing industry to give anglers exactly what they’ve been craving.  Fish no-hassle events close to home; fish with who you want, when you want, where you want.  All Dream Team Rally event payouts and advancements are based on 25 boats.  For every 25th team, one team advances with paid entry fees to the 2013 Dream Team National Championship Rally, with travel, hotel and boat gas stipends and the chance to win big time “dream” prizes and payouts at a “dream” vacation event.  Payouts will be big and deep to the field, and the national team champions will walk away with a Ranger Boat Dream Rig!  Register to host an event anywhere in the US anytime in 2012, or sign up to compete in the first Dream Team Rally on Hamilton Lake, in Hamilton, Ind., or both!  There’s no limit on how many Dream Team Rallies members can host or fish; so get started now!
