BASS will have another ESPN Outdoors Bassmaster Series event on July 16 lauching from Dubuque. I saw a lot of people mention being out of the running for the BFL regional. If you find yourself in this situation there you still have the ability to fish the Bassmaster Weekend Series and qualify for the regional and possibly find your path to the Bassmaster Classic.
Due to the smaller fields and the fact that a good deal of those on the standings wil not fish all events it is possible to start fishing mid season and still qualify for the regional as they will take the top 30 from each division. This is a unique opportunity that will probably not repeat next years as the field grow.
Must register by 7-6 to miss late fee and if you need help finding a person to link with contact Director Tom Holder at BASS and he will help you. The personal service you get from him is outstanding.
If you want my impression of how things are going with the series and my impression of the service from BASS give me a call.
