OPTIONAL DAILY BILLFISH RELEASE JACKPOT 90-PERCENT PAYBACK

The optional daily billfish release jackpot fee is $2,000. The daily billfish-release jackpot covers both days of fishing. The daily billfish-release prize consists of one-half of the total available jackpot money. If no billfish are released on an individual day, the jackpot rolls over to the next day. If on the final day of fishing no billfish are released, then the final-day jackpot money goes to the previous day's winner. Only teams entered in the daily billfish-release jackpot will be eligible for these cash awards.

 

OPTIONAL OVERLL BILLFISH RELEASE POINTS JACKPOT 90-PERCENT PAYBACK

The optional overall billfish-release-points jackpot fee is $2,000. The top three billfish-release point teams entered in the jackpot will split the pot accordingly:

  • First-Place Overall Release Points-- 50 percent
  • Second-Place Overall Release Points-- 30 percent 
  • Third-Place Overall Release Points-- 20 percent

 

Only teams entered in the overall billfish-release-points jackpot will be eligible for these cash awards.

 

PRIZE DISBURSEMENT

Any team receiving cash awards must fill out a prize-disbursement form prior to receiving any funds or prizes. Each registered team representative is in control of any winnings and must sign this form. All winnings will be sent to the winners once all funds have cleared the bank. All winners and entrants of this tournament may be subject to a polygraph test at the tournament committee's discretion. If a participant refuses to submit to a polygraph test for any reason, then any winnings that may be coming to that participant (or his or her team) will be automatically forfeited.
