A formal protest was brought to the committee today. After a complete review and investigation we found that boat 34, Dennis Wintle and Luc Wittig, were unintentionally in violation of rule 4 and 24. This has resulted in declaring new winners of the 2026 Red Lake Fall Classic. Congratulations go out to team number 45, Ryan Sawchuk and Kodi Kahoot.

We understand that this is going to restructure our top 25 winners and some of the specialty prizes. We will be reaching out to the top 25 teams that have been affected by any changes or any of the specialty prize winners to collect and redistribute prizes tomorrow.

Thank you all for understanding this difficult situation and having patience with the committee as we navigate through this.
