Got questions about the CA Bass Federation and TBF alliance?

[Brian D.]

Well now is the perfect opportunity to ask them. As part of our ongoing communications effort to all Federation members, Gary Bradford, President of CA Bass Federation will address each and every question. Simply list them in this thread and I will create a summary that I will post on this Web site and on the Federation site. I will have this topic pinned at the top for all to see. Don't be shy, I'd like to present this list to Gary by Thursday.

Also, Gary had agreed to work with Tony and create one of those new fangled POD casts. Should be interesting!

I have one.....I know we are now part of F.L.W. Outdoors now.So I have 2 or 3 questions about this....
I would like to know if this years state team is trying to qualify for a chance to fish the 2006 F.L.W. Championship and also the 2006 All American or are the trying to qualify for the 2007 F.L.W. Championship and All American?
Also...since the F.L.W. Championship is held in mid summer and the All American is held in mid to late spring are there going to be any changes to when our State classic is held and also when the western regionals are held and also the Federation Championship is held?
I would also like to know how the money that has been offered to each state would be distributed in this state? Would some of it go to paying the way for our state team that way some money could be put back into tournament payouts and making it a little more atractive for people to come and fish with the Fed? Becauseright now with not having as many tournaments and this state taking money from the tournaments to help fund the travel for our state team and other programs that the Fed has it leaves very little for tournament payouts.

Thank You in advance Gary,

I asked this one earlier but no response, with the Bassfan/FLW alliance with the TBF, is FLW the only vehicle the pros will be recognized or will BASS recognize them? In other words can they transition to BASS as well?

1 follow up question.
Since the Bassfan weekend warrior tournament is held in the summer are there going to be dates of tournaments changed.... like the state finals the western divisionals and the Fed. finals.....that way the Fed. is able to send the qualifier to that tournament.
