National Tournament Qualification

The Minnesota Junior B.A.S.S. Nation High School State Tournament will automatically qualify the Champion and Runner-Up team for the 2024 B.A.S.S. High School National Championship. If either team cannot attend the National Championship, their position will not be substituted by another Minnesota team. There may be additional teams granted to Minnesota from B.A.S.S. at a later date.

This will be covered at the Friday meeting:

If you're staying at Cragun's Resort, you can utilize their launch access and park on the resort grounds.

If you're staying at another resort on Gull Lake, and they have an access it's likely you'll do that same thing but at that resort.

If you're not staying at Cragun's or another resort, you'll need to utilize one of the public accesses on tournament day.

All anglers, boat captains, coaches and commissioners are in control of enforcing the rules.

Please report any witnessed violations to the boat captain or coach who will then report them to the Conference Commissioner in charge of the event.
