Farley Still On Top

Georgia FLW Series rookie Tim Farley didn't fish last week's Kentucky Lake FLW Tour event, but he still remains at the top of the BassFan Rookie of the Year (ROY) Race.

In fact, the Top 8 in the standings don't change, and no rookie who fishes the FLW Tour – whose schedule is most complete of all the tour/series-level events – is in the Top 17 of the ROY standings.

Pennsylvania FLW Tour-FLW Series rookie Jason Knapp is 18th in the standings and he moves up two spots to get there despite a mediocre finish (80th) at Kentucky Lake.

Louisiana's Kevin Lasyone moves up a big 10 places to 19th, after a 31st at Kentucky Lake, his second-best finish on the FLW Tour so far.

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.
