Co angler registration question

I see where people link up for tourneys.
Is it required or is it a better chance of getting in?

I am wanting to fish BFL Cowboy and possibly Ram opens as a co and was asking if it would be better or at least try to find someone to link up with.

I have a few other questions but I can't remember them right now.

Thanks again guys

As for the Ram open Texas east div., linking guarantee you to fish, but so far, been more boaters, than co's. If your serious about jumping in, just call ABA, a couple days before the registration deadline, and ask the ratio, if boater heavy, then shouldn't be a problem.

Yes sir thanks for the info
