OVERVIEW — LIKBF Members can put their skills to the test against other kayak bass anglers on the tournament level. LIKBF Elite Series Tournaments are qualifying events for the LIKBF Tournament Of Champions & KBF National Championship! 

In order to compete in our Elite Series Tournament's, you must become an LIKBF Member. As a Kayak Bass Fishing partner club, you can use any one of our club tournaments as a qualification tournament to compete in the Kayak Bass Fishing National Championship. If you are new to the LIKBF club, you may compete in any one of our Open Tournaments as a Guest. If you wish to compete in an LIKBF Elite Series tournament as your first Tournament, than you must pay club dues prior to the event. LIKBF hosts an OPEN Tournament prior to the Elite Series Trail, which is open to anyone and does not require membership. This is recommended that you participate in first as it will count as your guest tournament, and you also will have the opportunity to win a free membership for that year!

Entry Fee's for our Elite Series Tournaments range from $50-75 depending on location tournament type and ramp fee's if applicable. Membership fee for LIKBF is $100 annually. 

Elite Series Tournament Payouts depend on the percentage of anglers that sign up. LIKBF takes 20% of total registrations and the rest is put into the prize pool. 
IE: If 10 Anglers sign up, only 1st will be paid, 11-19 First, Second and Third, will be paid, 20 or more, 1st threw 5th will be paid. 

LIKBF Angler of the Year Points will be awarded according to performance to every LIKBF Member who registers to compete in Elite Series Tournaments. First Place earns 100 AOY Points, Second place 99, Third 98, and so on, dropping by 1 point with each step down in rank. This goes down to everyone who caught and submitted a fish. If you happen to not submit fish, you will be awarded 50 points for the event for participation. At the end of the season your Angler of the Year stats will be totaled of your best 5 Tournaments and you will drop your two lowest. (7 Tournaments Total)
