READ AND AGREE TO COMPLY WITH ALL KBF COMPETITION RULES BEFORE REGISTERING.

KBF Competition Rules are located on the May 2017  KBF State Challenge Event Page. Information below is provided for your convenience. If discrepancies exist between this page and KBF Competition Rules, the Rules take precedence. Read them. Understand them. Compete by them.

Eligibility: Only KBF Members with a fishing license permitting them to fish in the waters of this state are eligible to compete in this KBF State Challenge.

The minimum number of registrants for this event to qualify as a KBF State Challenge is 10. If fewer register, KBF will merge this with one or more other state(s) having similar black bass characteristics until the ten-registrant threshold is met. Once merged, states remain so for the remainder of the series.

Entry Fee: $21, of which $15 goes into the prize purse

Registration Deadline & Identifier Release: 8 p.m. the evening before start of competition

Prizes: Places paid and amounts are determined by  the number of registrants. Monetary prizes are distributed to winners by PayPal Funds Transfer. Competitors who win $600 or more per calendar year must provide KBF with a W-9 form prior to payout.

KBF BONUS BUCKS: Starting with as few as 20 registrants, bonuses will be paid out to one, two, or three KBF Members participating in this contingency awards program.

KBF AOY Points: Because one must be a KBF Member to compete in this Challenge, each registrant earns KBF AOY points at this event. First place receives 100 Points, and then points decrease with each step down in rank to a minimum 20 for active participants (those who upload even a single photo for scoring). Registrants who do not upload a photo receive 10 Registration Points. 

KBF-NC Qualification: 5% of competitors, minimum one, will be awarded 2018 KBF-NC qualifying slots. If a KBF Member earning a slot has already qualified, then the slot rolls to the top eligible alternate.
