TBF NATIONAL SEMI-FINAL SEASON IN FULL SWING
Opportunities abound for grassroots anglers to advance to national tournaments
The Bass Federation ( TBF ) is gearing up for an extremely busy National Semi-Finals season this fall for 22 districts across the country . These Semi- Finals are close-to-home tournament opportunities that are held within a 500-mile radius of every corner of the contiguous United States , so they ’ re accessible to anglers from coast to coast and border to border .
“ These Semi-Finals allow grassroots anglers to fish close to home while qualifying for some of the
biggest tournaments in competitive bass fishing in TBF and MLF ,” said TBF president Robert Cartildge . “ No matter where they live , anglers need to travel only as far as the state next door to compete in a Semi-Finals [ event ] and set them up for a chance to make it to the National Championship .”
THE FRAMEWORK
The Bass Federation National Semi-Finals offer 100 percent payback to both boaters and coanglers , plus the opportunity to earn additional prizes . One boater and one co-angler from each state advances out of Semi- Finals , but more can advance from each state depending on the size of the state ’ s TBF membership base .
One additional boater and coangler can advance from each state for every 40-boat milestone hit by the membership . Forty members sends one extra boater and co-angler to the National Championship , 80 gets two extra boaters and co-anglers , etc .
