American Bass Anglers announced today the launch of a new era in Team Bass Tournaments with a 100% plus payout at every event. With a full field of 200 teams, events will payout $60,000 in cash and prizes. First place at each event will be a new 2015 Triton Boat with a Mercury Outboard, MotorGuide Trolling Motor fully rigged with sponsor product valued at over 20,000 and is guaranteed.
The 100% Plus Team Tour will offer 2 divisions for 2015, one located in North Alabama and the other in Tennessee/Kentucky. The North Alabama division will hold 5 events to be held on Guntersville and Wheeler Lake. The Tennessee/Kentucky division will hold 5 events to be held on Kentucky Lake out of Paris Tennessee and Old Hickory Lake out of Hendersonville Tennessee.
Points will be awarded at each event and the top 5 from each of the two divisions will advance directly to the Ray Scott Championship.

Their partners will compete as a co-angler and fish for first place prize valued at over $50,000.
