With the end of the Bassmaster Classic regular season, Classic berths have been awarded to the Top 37 Elite Series pros. The Top 36 each year are guaranteed a spot, but since defending champ Skeet Reese double-qualified, BASS went down to 37th in the points.
It gets a little sticky there, because there's a three-way tie for 37th. The tiebreaker is total weight caught during full-field days, and Jami Fralick won out over Matt Reed and Mark Tucker.
Tucker and Reed might still make the Classic, because pros often double-qualify via the Bassmaster Opens, which means BASS could move further down the Elite Series points.
So who moved into the Classic by virtue of their Oneida finish? Here's a look at who moved in, as well as who fell out.
Moved In
> Jason Quinn (55th to 35th, 5th at Oneida)
> Dean Rojas (44th to 19th, 3rd at Oneida)
> Billy McCaghren (38th to 27th, 25th at Oneida)
> Denny Brauer (40th to 32nd, 41st at Oneida)
> Terry Butcher (50th to 35th, 10th at Oneida)
Fell Out
> Matt Reed (37th to 37th-place tie, 70th at Oneida)
> Mark Tucker (29th to 37th, 84th at Oneida)
> Fred Roumbanis (30th to 41st, 86th at Oneida)
> Bradley Hallman (33rd to 44th, 97th at Oneida)
> Davy Hite (36th to 47th, 88th at Oneida)
Some other notable pros who failed to qualify for the next Classic include Tim Horton, Edwin Evers, Terry Scroggins, Rick Clunn and Mark Davis, although Evers is 6th in the Central Opens with two events left and Scroggins leads the Southern Opens with one left.
