New Canadian vs. U.S. teams prizes added to this year's RRWT

In the tradition of good border town rivalries, the RRWT committee has introduced a new Canada versus the United States prize this year!
RRWT committee member Brent Anderson said that they were looking for something new this year and saw something along the Canada vs. U.S. prizes at the Kenora Bass International.
How it will work at the RRWT is that from each of the three flights a Canadian and an American team will be randomly drawn. Their respective weights will be used against one another to determine the winner of $250.
Then all three Canadian and all three American teams' weights will be totalled up to determine which country wins the challenge. The three teams comprising the top country will then share a $300 prize!
Then all teams from the winning country will be thrown into a hat and one team will be drawn to win a $500 prize!
The rest of the tournament prizes are as follows:
1st: $15,000
2nd: $7,500
3rd: $3,750
