The 2015 D&R Sports Center Tournament Series offers numerous ways to win money and prizes in its new circuit offering a purse worth more than $120,000.

The total purse exceeds entry fees paid by contestants, with the total amount dependent upon number of entries.

The schedule for the qualify events include: The Shimano/G. Loomis Charlevoix Shootout on June 6; The Minn Kota/Talon Muskegon Lake Challenge June 27; The Nitro/Mercury Grand River Grind July 25; and the Humminbird Muskegon Clash Aug. 22.

Each event also qualifies anglers for the Atlas Award, Toyota Bonus Bucks, Tracker Boat and Leer Cover bonus award programs. In addition, the top four teams will advance to the Bassmaster Team Championship on Lake Guntersville, Ala. next December.

There is a one-time membership of $40 per person while tournament entry fees are $150 per team. Teams that fish all four qualifiers earn berths in the two-day championship on Sept. 18-20. Location of the championship will be determined later.

Prize money in qualifying events, based on a 100-boat field, will be $11,600 cash plus bonuses and incentives offered in drawings to anglers who use qualifying products. Regular season events offer up to $2,400 to winners with cash payouts to 20th place.

Prize money in the championship (also based upon full fields in qualifying events) will be $31,420 plus bonuses and incentives. First place is a fully-rigged Tracker Pro Team 175 TXW. Cash will be paid to second through 20th place.

In addition, those finishing in the bottom half of the championship after the first day can compete in a second chance event for a $7,700 purse the next day.
