2017 7th Annual Tristate Skin Divers Species Meet - 8/5/17

Weigh-in 5:00pm Sharp!

Tristate Skindivers will be sponsoring the 7th Annual Tristate Species Meet. Last year's meet was a blast with over 75 competitors and an awesome day for diving. This years should be equally great. We have lots of raffle items from our sponsors including spearguns, fins, masks, a sportube, charter raffles, etc. To compete, follow the link download a tournament form and waiver. Tournament fee can be paid via paypal (Tristateskindivers@gmail.com). The weigh in this year is going to be in held again at the Bon Vue Bar in Naragansett, RI.

UPDATE: Early registration to ensure you get a t-shirt is July 24th! Cost for the tournament for early registration is $30 and it ensures you get a shirt. After that the cost goes up to $50 and we will NOT be able to ensure you can get a t-shirt. Please send payment via paypal Tristateskindivers@gmail.com and be sure to note your shirt size. I will update the participant list on this group as well as spearboard. Cheers!

We hope to see you at the weigh in.

The meet is a species meet format, which means that you can weigh in one of each fish that are listed on the tournament rules. The more species you shoot, the better you do. Unlike a weight tournament, this focuses on your ability to shoot many different fish. The tournament will feature a kayak / shore division as well as a boat division. All diving must be within RI waters.

As in previous years, Tristate will be giving all proceeds from the tournament to a local charity in order to help those in need.

We look forward to seeing everyone there!

Attached are the official rules

Cheers, Noel.

We did not put a total leader board together for this year, figured top 5 was enough. Next year we will have a better system for sure for the weigh in.

Only problem with a record high attendance is getting everyone weighed in quickly
