Updated June 16, 2009
Tournament awards are based on Entry Fees. Of the amount allocated to awards, sixty percent (60%) goes to billfish awards and 40% goes to gamefish awards (split evenly between the three gamefish species).
The amount allocated to tournament awards is split 50/30/20 between the three heaviest fish in each species category (blue marlin, dolphin, tuna & wahoo). If only two qualifying fish are caught in a category, the split is 60/40 and if only one qualifying fish is caught, the winner takes all. If there are no winners in an entire species category, the cash allocated for that species rolls evenly into the remaining species categories.
The amount allocated to release awards is split 50/30/20 between the three teams accumulating the most release points. If only two teams qualify in this division, the split is 60/40 and if only one team qualifies, the winner takes all. You must be entered to win.
The amount allocated to crew awards is split 50/30/20 between the top three crews accumulating the most total weight and release points. If only two crews qualify in this division, the split is 60/40 and if only one crew qualifies, the winner takes all. You must be entered to win.
The amount allocated to jackpot awards is split 60/25/15 between the three heaviest fish, or three teams with the most release points, in that jackpot category. You must be entered in the jackpot category to win. If there are only two qualifying winners the split is 65/35 and if there is only one qualifying winner, the winner takes all.
Trophies, plaques, and/or merchandise are awarded in the following categories:
Top Overall Release Team (Perpetual Trophy) — Awarded to the team that accumulates the most release points. You do not have to be entered in the cash Release Division to be eligible for this award, but must submit a Billfish Scorecard. The winning team’s name is inscribed on the “Magnificent Blue” Perpetual Trophy sculpted by Chris Barela and donated by Galati Yacht Sales/Viking Yachts. The “Magnificent Blue” is on permanent display in the lobby of the Grand Sandestin.
