Data source

Results are pulled from Bassmaster's public WordPress REST API (/wp-json/bassmaster/v1/ and /wp-json/data/v1/). No API key or account required. Data is publicly accessible.

Notes

• Not all tournaments have complete payout data; missing values default to 0
• Daily standings are available for most Elite and Opens events; some smaller series only have final standings
• The seriesFilter array uses Bassmaster's internal series slugs — check the results URL on bassmaster.com if a series slug isn't working as expected
