• 70% of each entry fee is paid back to the anglers the day of the tournament.
• 15% is escrowed into a fund to help pay for the boats they give away during the Classic Tournaments
• 10% is payed to the Divisional Tournament Director
• 5% to USA BASSIN (administration fee)

There has been some discussion about this trail where I live. USABASSIN is a national trail. Some guys around here fished it last year and made it to the regional, then there was a huge debate over who is allowed to compete in the Classic. No one from our division ended up fishing it and a lot of guys were upset. I'm sure the Chattanooga Division is ran a lot better, but be aware of all the rules before you go wasting your money on 5 tournaments thinking you have a shot at the classic and then be told you can't fish it.

Before you blast us like that you might want to find out the correct info. Everyone has a chance to make it as long as you/they have accumulated 250 points in your/their division, then you can fish in any and as many regional's as you need to qualify to make it to the classic, we take 40% of each regional field to the classic, plus we have a second chance classic tournament that allows anyone that does not make it to the main classic to be able fish for money also. If the guys from your division didn't fish it was either their own reasons or they didn't qualify for the classic. I am sure that you can see that with 5000+ members it would be hard to have all of them in a classic tournament. No one has ever told anyone they couldn't fish unless the director of your division didn't do his job correctly and pass out all of the information correctly to its members. If you have any questions feel free to PM myself and I will answer those for you or I will get the answer for you asap. THANKS!

I have fished USA the last 3 years and would like to say that Josh Poe (Chattanooga Director) has always made sure that things are in good standings for the fishermen of his division. We have also won the Regional in the past and the national level was always very fair to us as well. I have all the confidence in Josh Poe and the USA organization and do recommend giving it a try. Thanks Josh for all you do for us.

David Erwin.
