 WBS Billfishing World Tour
The format of the WBS Billfising World Tour is all-release to support the conservation of the pelagic species. We are limited to 32 of billfishing's most prestigious tournaments in seven worldwide regions.

The WBS World Tour is fished by over 30,000 anglers. Anglers earn points at each of these events based on participation, billfish catch and overall tournament finish. Each WBS Anglers' Club Member who enters a WBS-sanctioned event will earn 50 participation points. Anglers also earn catch points based on the species of billfish caught-released blue marlin or black marlin earn 400 points; released swordfish earn 250 points; released white marlin or striped marlin earn 125 points; and released sailfish or spearfish earn 75 points.

For each tournament that an angler fishes outside his/her home division, an additional fifty (50) Participation Points will assigned within the division in which an angler has accrued the highest point total. Refer to the Rules for details.

The Top Angler from each of the WBS-sanctioned tournaments will receive an invitation to the Grand Championship. Also invited are the Region winners, the Region Qualitiers-top twenty anglers in each of the seven regions (Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Gulf Coast, Caribbean, Pacific, Treasure Coast, and South Pacific), the Past WBS Grand Champions and the top four finalist from the previous Grand Championship.
