The World Billfish Series is dedicated to promoting a lifestyle committed to sportsmanship, healthy competition and marine conservation through "The World's Richest Bluewater Fishing Events." The WBS works to promote the virtues of true sportsmanship and global marine conservation as ambassadors of big-game fishing.

 WBS Anglers Club
A membership-based organization for billfishing enthusiasts - any angler who participates in any WBS-sanctioned tournament during the year becomes a competition member during that calendar year and qualifies to earn WBS points. For an additional $25 per year, each member will receive six bi-monthly issues of Billfishing, The Official Publication of the World Billfish Series, and many other membership benefits including the opportunity to participate in exotic travel promotions, and discounted merchandise and services. (See the membership page for more information on the WBS Anglers Club.)

 WBS World Tour
Comprised of 60+ of billfishing's most prestigious tournaments in eight worldwide divisions, the WBS World Tour is fished by over 30,000 anglers. Anglers earn points at each of these events based on participation, billfish catch and overall tournament finish. Each angler who enters a WBS-sanctioned event will earn 50 participation points. Anglers also earn catch points based on the species of billfish caught-released blue marlin or black marlin earn 400 points; released swordfish earn 250 points; released white marlin or striped marlin earn 125 points; and released sailfish or spearfish earn 75 points; in addition, a qualifying weighed billfish earns one point per pound. For each tournament that an angler fishes outside his/her division, an additional fifty (50) Participation Points will assigned within the division in which an angler has accrued the highest point total. Refer to the Rules for details.

The top ten anglers in each of the eight divisions (Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Gulf Coast, Caribbean, Pacific,Treasure Coast, Mexico and South Pacific) will receive an invitation to the WBS Grand Championships. In addition, the Top Angler from each of the WBS-sanctioned tournaments will receive an invitation to the Grand Championships along with the Past World Champions.
