Re: 2008 St. Pete Open ---- The big fish extravaganza is coming!

The prize table is bigger than ever, including a full-size custom pool table from Craftmaster!!!

Be sure to get your pre-registration postmarked by this Saturday, August 9. It is only $70 again this year, $40 for juniors.

We have now opened up all categories to women and juniors!

There may still be rooms available by calling the Holiday Inn Sunspree at 727.867.1151

Tournament info can be found at www.StPeteOpen.com. Every shooter will receive a long sleeve "Shooter" designated shirt with his/her entry fee. Grand Poobah, Ritchie Zacker will be on hand Friday night to autograph shirts on request, this alone would justify your entry fee.

All pre-registered shooters have shirt size preference. We ordered only enough "Shooter" shirts to cover the average number of entries and are not guaranteed for late entries. We are not able to reorder, so register early and bring a friend to register with you. The later you register, the fewer shirts are left.

We also ordered far fewer retail tournament shirts with the artwork on the back. Our goal is to sell out of shirts during the tournament. Once again, sizes and colors are limited so you might consider ordering via paypal now at www.StPeteOpen.com. Unsold shirts will be available starting at Friday night's captain meeting and continue until sold out(hopefully Saturday night).

Friday night captain's meeting is mandatory for at least one paid member of each boat. Don't forget to bring all waivers and entry forms for each team member that have been signed and witnessed, money for those not yet paid. The captain's meeting starts at 6:00pm until 8:30pm. Tournament begins at 9pm.

Weigh-in line closes Saturday at 7:30pm. Weigh-in starts at 6pm. Drinking begins when you are done diving, and will continue late into the night.

The awards ceremony is Sunday at 10am in the banquet room. Refreshments will be served in the back of the room along with bowls of Tylenol.

We have done a lot of work this year to make this the biggest party in Spearfishing and we look forward to seeing everyone compete.
