The
American Match Fishing Association was formed in 2006 in order to:
-
Promote
and develop the sport of match fishing in the United States.
-
Organize
major match fishing events: AMFA League, US Open, US Team
Championships, and more.
-
Discuss
and develop appropriate rules for major match fishing events.
- Set
guidelines for conduct at events (professional and courteous
behavior).
-
Identify and develop fishing venues for major events.
- Develop
new anglers to represent the United States in the future Match
Fishing World Championships events (CIPS/FIPS).
Any interested angler is
eligible for the AMFA Board. The criteria for joining the AMFA Board
is as follows:
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:
1 voting
representative, 1 observer
Thus, there are two viable
options for anglers to gain a voice in the AMFA decision-making
process.

AMFA Board Selection process and any other AMFA matters may be
