BASS has adjusted its qualifying berths with the addition of the Northern Open division, which will visit Maryland's Chesapeake Bay, New York's Lake Champlain and Ohio's Lake Erie. As in past years, the Open format will provide direct qualifying avenues into the Bassmaster Elite Series and the Bassmaster Classic.

In 2009, the top two pro competitors from each of three divisions will advance to the Bassmaster Classic and the top seven pro anglers to the Bassmaster Elite Series. The points system for the Opens that will determine Elite Series and Classic qualifiers will mirror the Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year standings used in the Elite Series.
