I explaioned all this over and over last year when I went to state. Here ya go in short form.

To go to the state tournament:
Be in the top 14 in your region to advance

State Classic is at Clear Lake. This event has all the top 14 anglers from all 7 regions. top 12 advance to the western divisionals and are the California State Team.

The State Classic is an awesome experience and I really hope CZ and myself can be there. CZ is currently in 11th with 2 events left.

If any of us are lucky enough to make the state team we can explain more then. For now you'll have to look it up yourself at www.californiabass.org
