OCdockskipper Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 Looking at some of his scores, maybe the person in last place should just make Indiana Finesse's picks for him ... With that comment, I believe I have just Karma'd myself into pulling up the rear next year. 1 Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted September 19, 2017 Super User Posted September 19, 2017 Who else is watching the Bracket Shootout today? And can anyone explain why Steve Kennedy is in this? He won Dardanelle back in June. Quote

A win doesn't punch your ticket to the classic with the exception of I think winning the classic and Bassfest I think. Quote
OCdockskipper Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 About 3 years ago, the Elite series changed their rules so that it is no longer "win & you are in" the Classic. That is why Rick Clunn and others who won in 2016 weren't in the last Classic and why John Murray & Timmy Horton aren't in the upcoming Classic. Winning an Open event, assuming you fish all 3 of a regions events, does still qualify you. Quote

With that comment, I believe I have just Karma'd myself into pulling up the rear next year. Yeah, I had some pretty bad bombs, especially at Okeechobee.. Still got 16th in the group I think, and I was in the upper 80s percentile in the first account before I forgot that password. Don't know what my percentile ended up being, if you add up all the scores from various accounts. Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted September 19, 2017 Super User Posted September 19, 2017 Interesting... You can win an Elite event and not get in, but winning an open does get you in... 1 Quote

OCdockskipper Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 From what I understand, quite a few Elite anglers wanted the change. The Classic competitors are supposed to be the best anglers from the previous year with a couple of amatuers or non-Elites mixed in (for what is a once in a lifetime experience for most in the latter group). If someone wins an Elite event and still ends up ranked in 70th place for the year, many anglers consider that win a fluke and not worthy of qualifying for the Classic. The Opens are 9 shots a year against very large local fields, which may be tougher to do than finishing 37th in the Elites for the year. The Classic qualifiers from Bass Nation & the College series have quite a gauntlet to run to make it. Quote

SWVABass Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 i hope Adrian can find away to pull it out today. I like his style. All four on the other side I could pull for though. Quote

IndianaFinesse Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 I'm in again, and this time around I'll write my password down on a piece of paper in the back of my Bible or something so I don't forget or lose it 3 times like last year 1 Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted January 8, 2018 Super User Posted January 8, 2018 Exactly one month until the first event on Lake Martin. Should we start a 2018 Fantasty Fishing thread? Looks like they haven't opened up the fantasy fishing registration yet on the Bassmaster website. Quote

I'm good with either starting a 2018 thread or keep this one going. I wish they would pin this to keep it at the top and maybe bring some more interest to it. The more I think about it maybe doing a 2018 one might be better so any new comers don't think that they can't get in? Just thinking out loud. Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted January 8, 2018 Super User Posted January 8, 2018 Let's keep this one going. I can't freaking wait! Quote
