     Every year, the 110 Elite Series Angler field competes for various positions in the standings. Angler of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Bassmaster Classic cut, and even the top 87 cut to re-qualify for next years Elite series. So every year there are a number of anglers who drop-out or loose their seat and have to regain their qualification the following year.
