   BassFan Rookie of the Year Race
ARCHIVES:
3/30/2004
Bassmaster Tour Rookies Finished





The compressed Bassmaster Tour season is now over, so BASS rookies are done as far as the cross-tour BassFan Rookie of the Year Race goes.

Though no BASS rookies had a stellar season, Mark Shepard of LaBelle, Fla. had the best and is now 10th. He has the only chance of beating FLW Tour rookies, who are only halfway through their regular season (only regular-season events are counted in the BassFan Rookie Race).

Several FLW rookies have been fishing much better than their BASS counterparts, notably Rookie Race leader Glenn Browne of Ocala, Fla. If they keep it up, this will be the first year that an FLW rookie wins the BassFan Rookie of the Year Award.

> Note: The BassFan Rookie Race only accepts true rookies, meaning those who have never fished the boater side of a tour event prior to the current season.

About the ROY Race
The BassFan Rookie of the Year Race/Award recognizes the best rookie in all of tour-level professional fishing for the current year or season. Unlike the league rookie races, only true rookies are eligible: To qualify as a rookie for the BassFan race, a tour angler cannot have fished the pro (boater) side of any Bassmaster or FLW tour/series-level event before.

  • BassFan Rookie of the Year Race points are calculated using a methodology loosely similar to the BassFan World Rankings (points based on finish with bonuses given for winning and finishing high). Only regular-season events count. Championships do not.
     
  • The BassFan Rookie of the Year Race was created in 2002 as the first rookie race in professional bass fishing. Like Rookie of the Year awards in all sports, it recognizes top-performing newcomers to the professional ranks.
