Match Fishing Clubs
A match fishing club consisting of at least 10 active members and conducting at least 5 matches/events a year, will elect the following to the board each year:
2 voting representatives, 1 observer

Match Fishing Teams
Anglers who form a 4-person team to participate in the U.S. Team Championships will qualify to send the following representatives to the AMFA Board:
