2011 Triple Crown Rules, Registered Anglers List & Winners

THE TRIPLE CROWN COMPETITION
This competition is intended to unite all the best shark fisherman around the world to compete for bragging rights and cash every year.The US,Australa,South Africa and the rest of the world where shark fishing is a big sport will appreciate this top notch concept shark tourney.We invite all fisherman who think they can win any of the three categories to try and compete.The way we have structured this tournament we may have more money or we may have less then the original $1500 the Triple Crown was advertised as giving away so this makes it more atrractive for those competing.
The Triple Crown competition has changed from it's original format in 2009.Last year anyone who became a member of the South Florida Shark Club was automatically registered in the $1500 Triple Crown compitition.Club membership no longer means you are in the Triple Crown.Some folks wanted to enter the Triple Crown without having to become a SFSC member so we have changed the rules to accomodate them.In 2010 we seperated the club membership and the Triple Crown into two seperate entities.As of 2010 and in the future Shark Club members pay $35 (there annual dues) and then have to pay an additional $25 to enter the Triple Crown competition.It's the only way we can cover expenses.In 2009 we did not collect sufficient funds to fully cover the $1500 Triple Crown at the end of the year and I personally had to cover the shortage out of my own pocket.Trophies,club t-shirts,Paper,ink,stamps,food,gas all expenses of the club ate up the money collected and there was a shortage of funds at the end of the year.

In 2011 the Triple Crown Competition will have an entry fee of $50 per angler(non-club participants)and $25 for dues paid club members.
This way once we have 30 anglers signed up at $50 each the $1500 is guaranteed.If we go over 30 anglers we will still divide the total into three cash prizes .If we do not sign up 30 anglers we will divide whatever total has been collected into three cas prizes as well.This is a simple solution and one that makes sense.Once we have recieved your Triple Crown registration fee you are ready to compete and your sharks count from that point forward.
