Welcome to the West Division of tournaments under Wisconsin Team Circuit.  The West Division consists of 4 bass tournaments, plus a year-end Wisconsin Bass Classic.  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.  25% of the entry fees received at each tournament will go into the Wisconsin Bass Classic-2009 pot, to be paid to the Top 3 finishers, plus Big Bass, at the Classic.  There will also be a $150.00 optional side pot at the Classic that will pay 100% to those competitors in it, beginning at 4^th Place.   

Entry fee into Wisconsin Bass Classic-2009 is free to the qualifiers.  Teams will qualify for Classic-2009 based on a points-format.  Points will be awarded every team participating in any of the Invitationals.  These points are based on a combination of how the team placed in the event plus their total weight in that event, ie. 1^st Place=100 points, plus weight, 2^nd Place=99 points, plus weight, 3^rd Place=98 points, plus weight, etc.  A minimum of 50 points will be awarded each team participating in the tournament.  All teams earning a total of 300 points will automatically qualify for Wisconsin Bass Classic-2009.  A minimum of 30 teams will be eligible to attend Wisconsin Bass Classic-2009 from the West Division.  The total accumulated points will also determine boat position on the first tournament day of Classic-2009.  

An individual may fish alone at the first tournament they enter, on behalf of the team, but must declare who their partner will be by the second tournament.  A partner may fish 2 events alone in a Division, and accumulate points on behalf of that team, providing they fish at least 2 events together.  If an individual fishes an event with someone other than his declared partner, this will be considered a new team and points awarded will stay with the new 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.  These rules apply to both Divisions of tournaments within Wisconsin Team Circuit

This website will be updated after each event with pictures and results from each tournament.  Also, be sure to check out the Sponsor Links section of this site.
