DREAM TEAM RIVER RUMBLE SET FOR OHIO RIVER, GALLIPOLIS POOL, OCTOBER 13

Ponca City, Okla. (May, 10 2012) — The Bass Federation’s brand new Dream Team Rally tournament trail is excited to announce the Gallipolis Bass Busters, club # 3905, and the Ohio Bass Federation is scheduled to host its first TBF Dream Team Rally event.  The event is scheduled for October 13 on the Ohio River, Gallipolis Pool at the Gallipolis City ramp in Gallipolis, Ohio.  The Ohio River Rumble is open to ALL teams, all TBF members and state federations are welcome to attend.  Interested teams can go online at bassfederation.com; Dream Team; to enter, the tourney # is 1023.  ALL interested TBF clubs and state federations can go online and register to host their own event today! 

“The Gallipolis Bass Busters and the Ohio Bass Federation are very proud to host a Dream Team Rally event,” Dream Team River Rumble Coordinator, Shawn Hawks, said.  “We are opening this event to any TBF team or non-TBF team who would like to join, and who loves to fish the Ohio River!  We are hoping to reach the magic 25 teams, but would be ecstatic for 50 or more.  We would also love to see teams from neighboring states like West Virginia and Kentucky.  We look forward to this exciting team event, with not much out of pocket expense, and to advancing a team directly to a national tournament!

“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!
