The Southern
Ultimate Tour Challenge consists of 4 bass
tournaments. These tournaments qualify for
participation in the year-end tournament,
the Wisconsin Bass Classic, NBAA Fall
Classic and NBAA National Championship-Blue
Bracket. These are 2-man team tournaments.
The entry fee for each of the 4 tournaments
is $150.00 per team. There is also an
optional Big Bass pot, which is $10.00 per
team. 100% of the Big Bass pot at each
tournament will be paid at the ramp. 20% of
the entry fees received at each tournament
will go into the Wisconsin Bass Classic-2012
pot, to be paid to the Top 3 finishers in
the Championship Bracket at the Classic.
More specific information on the structure
and paybacks at the Classic are explained in
the Wisconsin Bass Classic-2012 section of
this website.
Each participant in any of these tournaments
must have an annual WTC/NBAA membership,
which allows them to participate in any WTC
event for 2012, plus take advantage of any
discounts offered by WTC and NBAA sponsors.
An annual individual membership is $20 which
includes membership into WTC and NBAA. An
annual family membership is $30, which
includes 2 memberships in WTC and NBAA, and
covers fathers, mothers, sons, daughters,
brothers and sisters. The membership fees
can be submitted along with the first entry
form. Membership fees can not be
post-dated.
In
addition to the monies paid at each
tournament, every team participating in a
Southern Ultimate Tour Challenge tournament
will receive points. These points will
determine Divisional Top Team honors, boat
positions at the Wisconsin Bass Classic,
NBAA Fall Classic and the NBAA National
Championship. The National Points Champion
is a total of all points earned in NBAA
tournaments. Members will be eligible for
the Super Big Bass drawings.
The point
system is based on the number of boats per
tournament, and all participating teams will
earn points. 10 points will be added to the
number of boats participating, for the total
number of points available. For example, in
a 40 boat tournament, first place would
receive 50 points, second place would
receive 49 points, third place would receive
48 points and so on. Those teams not
catching a fish will be awarded 10 points
less than the lowest placing team. Points
will be used to determine Divisional Top
Team of the Year, first day boat position at
the Wisconsin Bass Classic-2012, the NBAA
Fall Classic, the NBAA National tournament,
and National Point Champion.
Teams in the Southern Ultimate Tour
Challenge who fish all 4 tournaments within
the Division will qualify for Wisconsin Bass
Classic-2012.
The
team earning the most points, after 4
tournaments, will receive Top Team-2012 in
this Division. Top Team honors include a
personalized St Croix Avid rod for each
member, plus the Top Team will be able to
fish all the qualifying tournaments in the
Southern Division in 2013 for free.
An individual
may fish alone at the first tournament they
enter, on behalf of the team, but must
declare who their partner will be. An
individual may fish 1 tournament lone in a
Division, and accumulate points on behalf of
that team, providing they fish at least 1
event together. Each team is allowed 2
substitutions during the year, providing the
other original does not fish that event, and
points will stay with the original team.
Points can not be transferred between
teams. Points accumulated in a Division
will remain in that Division
Specific rules
applying to Wisconsin Team Circuit
tournaments can be seen in the WTC Entry
Form section of this website and the NBAA
