5. PROMOTION DEFINITIONS

• “Tour” shall refer to the Bassmaster Tournament Trail.
• “Tournament” shall refer to one of the ten (10) fishing tournaments consisting of nine (9) Bassmaster Elite Series tournaments plus the Bassmaster Classic tournament.
• “Entrant” or “Player” shall refer to a person who has entered the Promotion in compliance with these Official Rules.
• “Angler” or “Professional” shall refer to a real person who participates in the Tour or a Tournament upon which the Promotion is based.
• “Team” or “Roster” shall refer to a team of exactly five (5) Professionals chosen by a given Entrant for a particular Tournament.
• “Season Ranking” shall refer to the cumulative results of the Promotion based on all Tournaments to date.
• “Catch” shall refer to the total fish caught by a Professional and submitted by him for weigh-in on a given day of a Tournament.

6. HOW TO PLAY: a. General. The objective of the Promotion is to accumulate the most points (see “Scoring” below) over the course of each Tournament listed below.

b. Entry. You may enter the Promotion by first logging in to your Fantasy Fishing Account with your username and password during the Promotion Period and completing the entry by clicking on the “Create Team” button.

c. Select Your Anglers. For each Tournament, you must select five (5) Anglers to form a complete Roster per the Tournament schedule below (an “Entry”). All Rosters are divided into five (5) angler groupings, each a “Group”.

• Group A – select one (1) Angler.
• Group B – select one (1) Angler.
• Group C – select one (1) Angler.
• Group D – select one (1) Angler.
• Group E – select one (1) Angler.

Rosters may be changed at will without penalty prior to each event’s “Locktime” as defined in the chart below.  An angler’s group designation may change for each event of the Promotion.

d. Scoring. Each Player will have points added or deducted based on his or her selected Team members’ performance and the results of the Bonus Points Question, as described below. Standings are determined by a system that awards points based on final standings in each Bassmaster Elite Series event. The Players also will earn points for the 2024 Academy Sports + Outdoors Bassmaster Classic event based on a similar but modified scoring system as there are fewer anglers competing.

The system awards 300 points to the winner of each Tournament, with a five-point decrease per position through fifth place, which receives 280 points. There is a four-point decrease from sixth (276) to 10^th place (260), and a three-point decrease per position from 11th place (257) to 15^th place (245), and a two-point decrease per position from 16th place through the rest of the field. Anglers who finish in a tie receive points based on a formula that adds the points of the affected positions and divides the total by the number of anglers tied for the position. The resulting number represents the number of points awarded to each angler in a tie.  An angler must weigh a legal fish to register points, and those who do not are not awarded points for the tournament.

For each day they lead a tournament, five bonus points are added to an angler’s total, including the final day. Anglers who do not catch any fish in a tournament do not receive points.

Forty (40) bonus points will be added to the angler’s total who catches the heaviest fish of each tournament.

A ‘Big Bag’ bonus of forty (40) bonus points will be added to the angler’s total who has the highest 1-day total weight of each tournament.

Season Rankings are cumulative of all Elite Series events, from Elite Series tournament #1, Toledo Bend Reservoir, through Elite Series tournament #9, St. Lawrence River, and the 2024 Academy Sports + Outdoors Bassmaster Classic (the “Bassmaster Classic”).

In the event a tournament is cancelled for reasons beyond the control of the Sponsor, there will not be Individual Event Prize Winners for the applicable tournament.

e. Bonus Points Question. Players will be given the opportunity to guess the Tournament’s winning weight during the entry process and prior to each Tournament’s Locktime (the “Bonus Points Question”). Answering the Bonus Points Question is optional. If a Player correctly guesses the applicable Tournament’s winning weight, he/she will receive 40 bonus points towards his/her Tournament score.

f. Locktime. All Roster changes must be completed by 6:00 a.m ET on the first day of each event, as shown in the chart above. Selections submitted after Locktime are considered invalid. If a Player has not set his or her Team by Locktime, the Player’s Roster will be left blank, and zero points will be awarded for that tournament.

g. Tiebreaker: Players will be given the opportunity to answer one (1) tie-breaker question during the entry process (Tiebreaker #1 below). Answering the tie-breaker question is optional. If a player chooses not to answer the tie-breaker question, he/she will be given a score of zero (0) for Tiebreaker #1 below.

In the event of a tie, the pool of tied players will be reduced until only one (1) potential winner for each prize remains by applying the tie-breaker rules below in the order listed. In all cases, an entry that does not win a tiebreaker is eliminated from consideration.

Tournament and Season Tiebreakers:

For both the Tournament and Season prizes, the tiebreakers will be:

• • Tiebreaker #1: Closest to total weight of submitted fish for the official weigh-in by the winning angler, in pounds and ounces.

• • Tiebreaker #2: Highest total number of fish submitted for the official weigh-in by the anglers selected in the entrant’s roster.

• • Tiebreaker #3: Highest total weight of submitted fish for the official weigh-in by the anglers selected in the entrant’s roster.

• • Tiebreaker #4: The entrant whose date of entry creation was recorded in the system the earliest

h. Umpires and referees. The decisions of the officials responsible for officiating each Tournament shall be final and legally binding regarding the outcome and scoring of each event.

THERE IS A LIMIT ONE (1) ENTRY PER PERSON PER TOURNAMENT (REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF EMAIL ADDRESSES OR REGISTERED FANTASY FISHING ACCOUNTS). If more than (1) entry is received per person or e-mail address per tournament, that person will be disqualified and not be eligible to win a prize.
