How does the prize money get distributed?
Please Read the following important information
The formula below is based on a minimum of 50 divers.
Less than 50 will cause the formula to be adjusted to cover the fixed
cost associated with the successful operation of the tournament.
For example: t-shirts, trophies, scale's, and
other necessary expenses.
Prize Disbursement Formula Example:
50 Divers enter at $90.00 each (ASA Member) = $4500.00
$50.00 per entry goes to prize pool.
$10.00 per entry goes to Master Spearfisherman prize.
The remaining $30.00 of the entry fee to be
used for tournament operations.
The breakdown:
50 entries X $50.00 = $2500.00
divided by 5 (Fish Categories) less the operation
funds leaves $500.00 per fish category.
1st place would receive $250.00
2nd place would receive $150.00
3rd place would receive $100.00
Notice: Remember cash disbursements will vary depending
on whether there are more or less divers participating.
