2011 TBSC Spearfishing Challenge Sponsor Thread
This thread is to say thank you to all of this years sponsors for their generosity and support of the 2011 TBSC Spearfishing Challenge! We hope you will join us in supporting these fine companies who give back to our sport!
The 2011 TBSC Spearfishing Challenge is a non-profit charity tournament and the success depends on all of you participating as well as our sponsors. This year our primary charities are the Fishing Right's Alliance, which advocates spearfishermen's recreational fishing rights, and DiveCare Military Wounded, which provides free specialized scuba instruction for disabled veterans to build confidence and a sense of independence after a disability suffered during military service. This event is individual aggregate and largest fish by category. The beautiful trophies will be awarded for the top 5 aggregate scores, largest fish by category, top freediver, top female, and top junior! The 2011 Tampa Bay Spearfishing Challenge is going to have a smoking prize table!! The TBSC remains one of the most fair and exciting tournaments for beginning and experienced shooters alike, as the random drawing prize format gives every competitor an equal chance at a first class prize table, regardless of placement. A random prize format puts the focus on camaraderie and fun! This is a huge reason our sponsors love us and come back year after year! Last edited by Shoot2Thrill; 03-05-2011 at 09:20 AM. |
