The Captain's Meeting will be held Wednesday, September 14, 2016 at 7pm at the Tournament Headquarters at the Scrub Island Resort, BVI for all registered teams. A team representative must be in attendance, as rules are subject to change.
Release Verification Recordings - each team is required to submit video or photographic evidence of billfish catch and release. This photo or recording shall be time and date stamped in accordance with the "official time" as stated by the "Committee Boat" prior to each day's fishing. Your video proof shall include: 1) registered angler fighting the fish 2) proper identification marker 3) sufficient footage of the fish in order to accurately determine the species 4) proper release evidence. All recordings submitted must be easily viewed either on a SD card or downloaded via USB. It is the team's responsibility to have these items and have the video cued up and readily available for the Committee to view when turning it in. Failure to do so will delay the verification process. We highly recommend you have at least two recordings on different cameras, and underwater shots are the best way to accurately identify the species.
Billfish Release Affidavit - each Blue Marlin release is required to be noted on the day's Affidavit and submitted with your video to the Committee each fishing day. Failure to turn in your Affidavit will disqualify that day's catch(es). Affidavits are supplied with your registration package. If you do not have one for each day, please see the Committee for a replacement.
