Ted has dropped the number of tournaments to 4 to qualify for the classic to account for the drop down to 7 tournaments overall. But he will reward the teams that fish more than 4 by including any teams best 6 finishes to help improve their qualifying. Truthfully if you fish 4, it is a safe bet that you will qualify for the classic. Yes the Classic is on Balsam Sept 12 and 13.

Hope this helps to clarify.
