Regular Entry Fee: $30.00 to compete

*Double Down Option Fee: $30.00 (optional)

*New this year Double Down (optional)

VSHTS has always tried to keep the entry fee reasonable enough so that anybody interested in fishing the tournament series could fish but also be able to have enough prize payout to make it worth it for our traveling fisherman. Thats why this year we are offering the "Double Down option"

How it works
DDO is an extra option you can choose when you purchase your regular entry fee.
Only those who choose the DDO will be eligible for the extra DDO prize money.
If you win first place your prize money will be increased by 70% of the DDO money taken in.
If first place is won by someone who did not choose the DDO the money will be rolled over to the next tournament.
If nobody wins during the regular season. Points winner will take all.

Double Down Option Clarified
Nothing has changed from last year if you pay $30.00 dollars. and don't choose to double down you still win money for first, second, third and bigfish except this year if you win first place you get your money and a Blue suit from Clam Outdoors.

If you choose to double down meaning spend the extra $30.00 and you win first place, you will win the regular first place money a Blue Suit and 70% of the DDO money taken in.
We did it this way to make sure we keep it affordable for our fisherman who are used to the price and happy with the payout
but also give the guys that wanna gamble a little more or the guys that drive a long ways more insentive to come compete.

Hope this helps and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

We value your opinions!!! Without your continued support this tournament series would not be what it is today!!!
