saltwater bass series

something new for 2021

IMPORTANT TO KNOW FOR EVERY EVENT

Weigh in locations may change so keep an up to the moment "eye" on the schedule above prior to each event

Masters Division will start 15 minutes BEFORE and come in 1/2 hour AFTER the Rookie/Family teams.

Masters Division event times will be 6 a.m. until 3 p.m. > 9 hours

Rookie /Family Division event times will be 6:15 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. > 8.25 hours

The reason for this is to make for a safer start and to avoid any possible jam at weigh in. Assistant tournament directors will handle all the teams fish to be weighed by the weigh master. Pictures will be taken away from the weigh in site

The 2021 2 day Championship will be exempt from this

** If a team wins any event in their respective Division, they will automatically qualify for and earn a spot in the Year End Championship. These winning teams must also fish or "buy-in" the minimum of 4 events total. These "winning" spots will not take away from the 15 / 12 point earned spots. Remember ties in Year End Points count as one spot

*Due to the uncertain COVID mandates, some events may become "NON GATHERING' events where check in will be done under COVID safety precautions by pre-registration(s) as well as on-the-water weigh ins with no post tournament gathering. plaques and winnings will be distributed after the event(s). Social media and W.O.N. tournament recognitions will still be in effect as well as commitment to sponsor involvement(s) to continue the activity and interest by many involved and or watching the Series in 2021. Thank you for your understanding, the SBS will do everything possible to run "regular" gathering events.....as this is what we do as a tournament fishing FAMILY
