You CAN fish all 6 of the events in any one region, only the best 3 can be counted for Traveler’s points. The top 50 teams, plus ties, will qualify for that seasons "American Bass Team Classic Fishoff"! Example: If you fish 7 different "American Bass Team Tournaments" in the South Division during a season and your best finishes were 2 events in the So Cal Region, 1 event in the Inland Empire Region and 1 event in the San Diego Region and 1 event in the Nevada Region, those would be the points totaled up for your "American Bass Travelers" region total. You will still keep your points in each region also. The "Anglers of the Year" for Travelers will be determined by the most total points from 5 events. There are separate "Travelers" Regions for the North, Northwest and South Divisions.
