The accumulative total of points scored for both the best 7 qualifying events and the total points earned during the 2-day EBASS Classic, will determine the EBASS Team of the Year, as well as the teams to qualify for the annual SABAA Team Championships (Super Finals).

A number of the top teams each affiliated Team Tournament Trails, will qualify to compete in the SABAA Teams Championships (the number of qualifying teams for each trail, will be determined on a proportional basis = 20% of all the registered teams competing in each trail). The teams who made it into the final, will compete over 2 days for the SA Team Champions title, the best Team Trail in SA (“interprovincial”) as well as for 4 slots to the USA BASSMASTER TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS.
