Icebreaker Elite Series 2027 TOUR CARDS

• The Top 20 Teams in the 2026 IES Points Standings after the three Qualifying Events automatically earn their Tour Cards for 2027 (eligible to enter the Icebreaker Elite Series).
• The Top 15 Teams* in the 2026 B-Side Open final standings earn Tour Cards for 2027.
• 2026 Icebreaker Elite Series teams who are eligible to compete in the B-Side Open may elect to compete with a new partner for the purpose of the new team qualifying for a 2027 Tour Card. The new partner would be required to pay an entry fee for their half ($150).
• A waiting list, determined by the B-Side Open final standings, will be utilized to replace declined Tour Cards or to grant an increased number of teams for 2027 (example: 16^th place Team in the 2026 B-Side Open will be approached first to accept a 2027 Tour Card in the event that there is an opening).
• Tour Cards are awarded to Teams and not individual anglers. In the event of a split between team members only one Tour Card remains eligible. Should an amicable solution not be possible between both parties, the Tour Card will be forfeited.
