Question: Can I qualify for the Classic event with a partner and then choose another partner to fish the Classic with?

Answer: No. You can fish with the partner of your choice at any 1 day event.

If either of you cannot make the classic event then the one entering the classic must fish it alone. If you have a regular partner and they cannot fish a 1 day event with you and you want them to qualify to fish the classic event with you then you must list them as your partner on the voucher for that tournament as your partner and you must fish that tournament alone. Then the results will be that you can take that partner and only that partner to the classic.
