SMDH the tour and cups are both MLF format. Anybody see them on Belton today?
I think you're shaking your head too fast. Let me try to help. Here's the BPT format:
Day 1: Qualifying Round, Group A
Forty anglers compete and advance
Total weight carries to Qualifying Round Day 3
Day 2: Qualifying Round, Group B
Forty anglers compete and advance
Total weight carries to Qualifying Round Day 4
Day 3: Qualifying Round, Group A
Forty anglers compete
Day 1 + Day 3 = total weight
Anglers who finish in 2nd-20th place advance to Knockout Round (Day 5)
Winner advances straight to Championship Round (Day 6)
Bottom 20 anglers are eliminated
Day 4: Qualifying Round, Group B
Forty anglers compete
Day 2 + Day 4 = total weight
Anglers who finish in 2ndâ 20th place advance to Knockout Round (Day 5)
Winner advances to Championship Round (Day 6)
Bottom 20 anglers are eliminated
Day 5: Knockout Round
Thirty-eight anglers compete
Zero weight to start
Top 8 anglers advance to Championship Round
Bottom 30 anglers are eliminated
Day 6: Championship Round
Ten anglers compete
Zero weight to start
Highest total weight wins
Here' are the MLF Cups which keep the format of the original show, completely different from the Live BPT event format. Four MLF Cup events will be shot in the dark and produced for television. Each MLF Cup event will result in six, two-hour television shows that will air on the Outdoor Channel. Thirty anglers will compete in each MLF Cup event, based on the points they accumulate during MLF Bass Pro Tour events.
Challenge Cup
Heritage Cup
Patriot Cup
Summit Cup
Days 1-3 = Elimination Round 1-3
10 different anglers will compete each day to catch the highest weight
The Top 6 anglers with the highest weight daily move on to Sudden Death
Day 4-5 = Sudden Death Round 1 & 2
Anglers race to a pre-determined Target Weight
The first 4 anglers to hit the target weight daily move on to the Championship Round
Day 6 = Championship Round
Eight anglers compete to catch the highest weight
At the end of the day, the angler with the most weight wins the Cup event
The Top 3 anglers in each MLF Cup event earn a spot in the General Tire World Championship
If it's still confusing after this consult the MLF website or contact Big O for a more detailed explanation.
