Payout structure

100% of all entry and Calcutta fees are paid out to the winning boats — the tournament keeps none of the buy-ins. General Tournament entry and each Calcutta pay 75% to first place and 25% to second place.

Single fish can win Aggregate

If your one fish outweighs another team's two-fish total, you win Aggregate.

Calcutta rollover

If only one boat weighs a qualifying fish for a Calcutta, that boat receives 100% of that pot. A Calcutta pot rolls into the General Tournament pool ONLY if no boat weighs a qualifying fish for that Calcutta during the tournament. No refund of rolled fees.
