I've been watching the Falcon Tourney wiegh in on Bassmaster.com. I'm confused at how the "brackets" work for qualifying to fish the next day. This is how I understand it on a 3 day tourney

Day 1...everyone fishes...top 50 fish day 2

Day 2...Top 12 advance to day 3

Is this how it is?

If so then why am I watching the day 2 weigh in seeing things like "angler x" needs 1-15 for the cut. After weigh in,"angler x" is sitting in 22nd place and weighed in 20-6.

If he needed 1-15 for the cut and is now in 22nd place after weighing in 20-6 and if only the top 12 fish on day 3...see how its confusing?

Can someone straighten me out on this?

Its a 4 day tournement I think everyone fishes day 1 and 2

Top 50 fish day 3

Top 12 fish day 4

See what I'm sayin though..."angler x" needs 1-15 to make the cut (top 12) he weighs in 20-6... (which is way more than needed to make the cut) but ends up in 22nd place after he weighs in...so...how does that make sense? Or am I just not understanding things...please clarify.

And then to add to that there were some anglers that needed 0-0 to make the cut. Did that mean there's no way they could make the cut or that even without wieghing in they had enough to make the cut?

When they say someone needs 1.5 to make the top 12 and they weigh in more than that, they are temporarily in the top 12.  Then the rest of the anglers weigh in and by having more weight it pushes that angler out of the top 12..

Its a 4 day tournement I think everyone fishes day 1 and 2

Top 50 fish day 3

Top 12 fish day 4

This is correct.
