Looks like about half in Top 10 are already BPT anglers. Wonder if they go down the list to move someone up to BPT if a current BPT angler is still BPT qualified without the TWPC qualification? Neal is easily qualified through BPT points to remain in the BPT next year. With the current open BPT spots as well as the supposed cuts that will take place when season is over I am curious as to if they go down the TWPC AOY list to fill them.

I hope Jimmy Washam gets in. He also won AOY in the Toyota Series this year. I stumbled across his YouTube channel and really enjoy it.

McClelland may have needed the Pro Circuit to stay on the BPT.

For sure some of these guys seem to do better in a 5 fish format.

He will. They don't work down the list Neal is your Pro circuit AOY, its kinda odd, they maybe should limit how many event the Pro tour guys can fish like Nascar does with Xfinity series.

How do you know they do not work down the list?

I think that the 10 that qualify for BPT next year are the highest Circuit regulars averaged over the last 2 seasons, if a BPT fishing the circuit is on that list they will skip to the next eligible circuit angler. I suppose if McLelland is in the bottom 10 of BPT but top 10 of Pro circuit he can use that to re-qualify, in essence he replaces himself.

Who's the top 10 that make it to BPT next year, Ron Nelson for sure, I think Shuffield probably too, Jim Tutt said on stage he thought he would just miss it.

They listed the Title championship roster on the MLF website, I think these are the ones that qualify for 2022 Bass Pro Tour
Ron Nelson
Spencer Shuffield
Grae Buck
Matt Becker
Dylan Hays
Cole Floyd
Dakota Ebare
Jeremy Lawyer
Matthew Stefan
Joshua Weaver

I guess they are only taking the top 10 from this year, if I was Shuffield, Buck, Becker, Stefan and Weaver I would be pizzed, they said in 2018 it was supposed to be 2 year average to qualify in 2022. MLF moves the goal posts again.

Wow this is BS they changed the rules again http://www.bassfan.com/docktalk_article/22061/5-pro-circuit-anglers-get-bpt-invitations#.YSzvHOd7mUl

The more I'm looking at this it kinda forces the BPT guys hand in the future in having to fish the Pro circuit also to try and lock out the top 10 AOY there and preserve their BPT spots. The way this is there really won't be any BPT anglers cut this year, well they would cut one but that's if nobody leaves BPT which I think is unlikely.

Duckett probably changed the rules to keep himself on tour.

I ran the 3 year average and posted this in the TWPC Title thread, Duckett was still safe but a bomb at the last event coming up might have put him in a cut, now Elias is probably they only one they will cut...

here are the BPT guys in danger of being cut, Elias(cut), Lambert(probably cut), Hawk(probably cut), McClelland(TBD), Grigsby(TBD), Crochet(TBD), Jordan(bubble), Biffle(TBD), Duckett(TBD), Horton(TBD).

They were already 4 spots open due to them never filling the guys that went back to BASS plus Ike. They added Cox. In essence they only have to cut 1 current BPT pro. I would think a couple if not more will leave on their own so they probably will.not have to cut anyone.
