How soon are the results posted on the Joe Bass website?

The simple answer is as quick as possible. Sometimes however they may be delayed because all of the Joe Bass Tournament Directors have jobs. That’s right Bob, Rusty, Bud, Ed and Timmy all have to go to work most Monday mornings which may slow down the posting process. We do realize that everyone wants to see where they finished and the standings so we make every effort to get them up as fast as possible.
