The current standings for the Australia Team to compete in the Hobie Fishing World Championship have been released. All indications are that to sit near the top of the point score table, consistency over a number of events is rewarded above all else.

While no angler so far has competed in the prescribed minimum of three qualifying tournaments, the six anglers to represent Australia at the 2016 Hobie Fishing World Championship are getting closer to be named with just two qualifying tournaments to be completed.

167 individual anglers have competed in the first three worlds qualifying rounds with 70 competing in two qualifiers. If any of those 70 anglers compete in either the Lowrance Scamander round in Tasmania or the Hogs Breath Café round on Wallis Lake in Forster, New South Wales they will have a chance to represent Australia. The remaining 97 anglers from the original 167 will need to compete in both of these rounds to be considered for the Aussie team.

As event registrations for the April 22 and 23 Tasmanian round stand at the time of writing this article, 19 of the anglers will have reached the 3 tournament worlds qualifying minimum. They will be in the mix for team selection based on the total of the three rounds that they have participated in. If these anglers (and others who have yet to enter) participate in the final qualifying round in Forster, and obtain a higher point score than any of their three previous rounds, that score will be an upgrade and they will drop their lowest score. Only an angler’s best three finishing point scores are accumulated to reach a final tally.

Any angler currently sitting in a lower position on the leaderboard still has a massive opportunity to leap up the table as those above them fail to upgrade their scores. With two events remaining any angler who finishes with three solid scores in their bag could end up wearing the green and gold in 2016.
