Are these rules listed anywhere? Who made the Bassmasters out of the southern opens? https://www.bassmaster.com/standings/?view=520 BTL guys don't even seem to know... https://youtu.be/udlMgslKhc4?t=393

The over all list & centrals aren’t done yet. The southern & northern are. Lots up in the air still with double qualifiers

If someone double qualifies through a division and overall AOY division then their invite comes from tbat regular division and they go down the list of next up on the overall division.

There is still one spot up for grabs in the Southern division as tgat guy made the Top 10 vut and is a couple of points behind the guy in 3rd that did not make the cut.

So with New already being Elite qualified they move down to 4th in opens overall AOY?

Yes.

And Poche's invite will come from the Northern's. Looking like Gaston's could come from the Centrals. And Gallant's from the Southern's.

So 4-5-6 from the Overall AOY would get the invites

Wait, so they would only take 2 guys from the southern division, are the rules seriously not posted anywhere?

I'm wrong.

Luke Dunkin posted on his Instagram that since Bryan New won the Southern's & he's already an Elite angler, 2-3-4 gets the invite. Bryant Smith, Coop Gallant & Joey Cifuentes

The rules are posted on Bassmasters website. Pretty simple to find but asking others to do the work is easier I guess.

Who qualifies for the 2023 Elite Series from the 2022 Bassmaster Opens Series?
• The Top 3 pros in final points from each of the three 2022 Bassmaster Opens Divisions (Southern, Central and Northern) that are not already 2023 Elite Series qualified through the 2022 Bassmaster Elite Series AOY average.
• The Top 3 pros in final overall AOY points from all nine (9) 2022 Bassmaster Opens that are not already 2023 Elite Series qualified through the 2022 Bassmaster Elite Series AOY average or an individual Opens Series final points standings.
• Any Opens angler who qualifies in multiple Opens Divisions–the 2023 Elite Series berth will come from the Open Division of highest finish and they will be removed from the other Open Division. In the event of a tie for points position, the weight from full field days will be used. The vacated spot(s) will result in additional Opens Division angler(s) being invited from the vacated Open Division spot(s).
• If an angler qualifies in the Top 3 pros in the overall AOY and a Division, the berth will come from the Division and an additional spot awarded to the overall AOY.
• If a 2022 Opens angler invited to the 2023 Bassmaster Elite Series declines the invitation, that spot in the 2023 Bassmaster Elite Series field goes back to the 2022 Bassmaster Elite Series AOY average.
• B.A.S.S. reserves the right to work down respective Opens points standings.

Please post a link, I looked and couldn't find it. THEIR NEW WEBSITE SUCKS!

Took me less than 15 seconds to find. Love the new site.

Overall - Cole Sands, Logan Parks, John Soukup (1 event left)
Norther - Alex Wetherell, Kyoya Fujita, Keith Poche
Southern - Bryant Smith, Cooper Gallant, Joey Cifuentes
Central - David Gaton, Jimmy Washam, Todd Risinger (1 event left)

Only 27 points separate 3rd & 11th in the Centrals. Might be a shootout to see who gets the spots from the Centrals
