It is a complex issue and one most chapters or even state Federations do not fully understand. We have no present concept on how the TBF will structure the events. There are a great deal of issues for the TBF to conquer first. Presently You, yourself can have those TBF events sanctioned individually on your own serial number. It is a simple process and once the event is sanctioned it is sanctioned for all BCB owners who fish the event. Not just for yourself. That is why the listing is kept here for the BCB owners to follow those events which are not sanctioned. The TBF and BFL are totally different tournament concepts also. As are BASS under the Federation or Federation Nation and TBF. The BASS Federation has been in existence since the early 1970s. TBF has directorship and staff, which is presently volunteer. BASS has a full staff of hired individuals to manage and function the Federation within its office in FL.If the TBF oprganizes a format, lasts politically and financially through the tumultuous first full season, satisfies the present requirements of debt for functioning with a staff and more, we will consider sanctioning those state championships. The TBF has lots of hurdles to overcome which have not even been considered or discussed. Until then, you are welcome to sanction the events which the rules allow you to…Thanks,BCB
