Arrow 2009 Spear Wars Blue Storm Prize Sponsors are signing up Right and Left!

One of the things that makes the Spear Wars Blue Storm Spearfishing Tournament Series stand out is the richness of its prize tables, tents and walls. The 2009 Blue Storm prize assortment will try to keep up the tradition. Our goal is to have nice prizes for every contestant - no more, no less. But, please don't think you will get a speargun for finishing in 100th place! LOL!

Throughout the Blue Storm Tournament Series there are six levels of sponsorship: Bronze ($600), Silver ($1,500), Gold ($2,400), Platinum ($4,500), Sapphire ($7,500) and Diamond ($9,000). Our 2009 goal is to have over $100,000 in prizes for the Blue Storm series of three events (SBO Classic, Palm Beach Open and Key Largo Open) and it looks like that will indeed happen before all is said and done. That is roughly $35,000 worth of prizes per event.

The master list of sponsors for 2009 is presented at this link here:

http://www.spearwars.ambulanceproduc...d=48&Itemid=53

There will be some additions and deletions to this list as believe it or not some sponsors wait until the last moment to decide.

Over the coming days leading up to the tournament weekend on May 16-17, we will be announcing the additions of prizes and sponsors. Here are just a few of the prizes that should whet your appetite.

Re: Spear Wars Blue Storm Prize Sponsors are signing up Right and Left!

HOW DO YOU WIN PRIZES AND TROPHIES?

Remember that the Blue Storm Series are “aggregate tournaments” which means your trip to the prize table is determined by your aggregate fish score based on weight in several categories. The highest score goes first. The lowest score goes last. It is that simple. But, you’d be surprised how many contestants don’t realize this aspect of the Spearboard Open rules and don’t weigh-in their fish for every category. Bad mistake! - because there are prizes for everyone. There are also mystery tickets and trophies for biggest fish categories as well as female, junior and boat winners. For full details, please see the rules at this link:

http://www.spearwars.ambulanceproduc...d=49&Itemid=60

Go there and check out those rules to be sure you understand them.

Here is what the trophies looked like last year and the list of trophy categories. There will be a total of ten (10) Trophies up for grabs:

1. 2009 Overall Winner
2. 2009 First Place Freediver
3. Largest Grouper
4. Largest Snapper
5. Largest Hogfish/Flounder
6. Largest Trigger/Sheepshead
7. Largest Amberjack or Cobia
8. Best Aggregate for Female Diver
9. Best Aggregate for Junior Diver
10. Best Boat

The 2009 Overall Winner (best overall aggregate), shall be awarded his or her trophy, and have first pick at the prize table. Each winner shall be awarded his or her trophy, and go to the prize table in accordance with his/her aggregate score.

Off topic But:


There are still a few days left on the auction to help a fellow spearo.

SAVE STODY'S BRAIN
This auction is to benefit Sean "Stody" Stodelle. He is a fellow spearo and diver who was recently diagnosed with "the most malignant and terminal brain cancer one can get" at the age of 36 years old. He has a lovely wife and daughter. He lives on Maui and is a huge icon in the Hawaii spearfishing community. He is one of the biggest advocates of safety while diving and spearfishing, he is constantly preaching and teaching safety to everyone. He has been battling brain cancer for 7 months now. We at MAKO spearguns want to have a fundraiser auction to help Stody and his ohana.

http://makospearguns.com/ebay_auctions.php

MAKO Spearguns donates 100% of the money from this auction directly to Sean "Stody" Stodelle and his family.

NOTE: IF YOU DO NOT NEED A GUN, FLOAT AND FLOATLINE, YOU CAN DONATE AS LITTLE AS $5.00 (paypal accepted) BY GOING DIRECTLY TO A WEBSITE THAT HAS BEEN CREATED FOR STODY.

To learn more about Stody and his story please visit http://www.savestodysbrain.com/
Lets do our best to take care of a "diver down".

Mahalo,
Dano
