2008 FBA PRO TOUR Friday, 09-May-2025
2008 FBA PRO TOUR

Current Points Standings | Current Points per event
Revised 6-Nov-2007

FBA Pro Tour The FBA PRO TOUR is a points chase across the entire year of FBA Pro Tour Events. Competitors earn points at each event based on a multitude of factors. The most important factor being how well they did at the event. Competitors gain points from each competition no matter how well or poorly they place. The only points that count toward the PRO TOUR however are those earned in the OPEN division and PRO division of a competition. Amateur, Advanced, and Tandem points will not be calculated into the PRO TOUR standings for any competitor.

For 2008 there will be two separate tours. The FBA PRO TOUR North America, which will include events in North America and the Caribbean, and the FBA PRO TOUR World, which will include events from the rest of the world. Each tour will have their own prizes, trophies, and champions. The competitor from either tour with the most points will have an additional title of GLOBAL CHAMPION.

The PRO TOUR Champions will be announced after the last event of the year, but the awards ceremony will be held at the annual FBA Awards during the LEGENDS of BARTENDING event in Las Vegas every spring.

The FBA PRO TOUR is funded entirely by the events contributing to the point accumulation. Due to overwhelming interest in both tours, the Pro Tour fee will be a flat rate of USD$500 for all events no matter the level. Top competitors will be rewarded with trophies, FBA Premium Memberships and even custom Pro Tour jerseys. As the Pro Tour continues to grow and add events, we plan to secure an overall tour sponsor, which will help increase the rewards for the top competitors.

Calculating the PRO TOUR points:

Each FBA Sanctioned event has a Tour Level. Many of the points in this calculation are multiplied by this Tour Level. The Tour Level weights large events like LEGENDS and QUEST over smaller events like BEST in the WEST and PINNACLE.

There are four type of points to be awarded:
  • Final Points
  • Finalist Bonus Points
  • Qualifying Points
  • Show Up Points
FINALS POINTS Points are earned for overall placement in the finals. Each place earns points on a sliding scale:

2008 PRO TOUR FINALS POINTS BREAKDOWN

1 100 200 300 400 500 600

10 10 20 30 40 50 60
11 5 10 15 20 25 30


FINALIST BONUS
Competitors who make the finals get a "FINALIST BONUS" instead of qualifying points.

50 points x Tour Level

2008 PRO TOUR FINALIST BONUS
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5 Level 6
50 100 150 200 250 300


QUALIFYING POINTS
ONLY LEVEL 2 AND HIGHER EVENTS RECEIVE QUALIFYING POINTS
ONLY COMPETITORS THAT DO NOT MAKE THE FINALS RECEIVE QUALIFYING POINTS
Points are earned for overall placement in the qualifiers of an event. Only level 2 and higher events will award qualifying points. Qualifying points will be a sliding scale based on the Tour Level and the Finalist Bonus. The top scoring competitor to not make the finals will receive 20 points less than the Finalist Bonus for that event. Each competitor under that will receive 5 points less than the competitor in front of them.

Competitors can earn significant points for qualifying well. The bigger the event, the more points they can earn.
