Scoring

Points for billfish releases are as follows:

Sailfish 200
Blue Marlin 200
White Marlin 200

SAILFISH SLAM (300 points) – Catching and releasing a Sailfish, Blue Marlin and White Marlin within the duration of the fishing days will constitute a Sailfish Slam for a vessel. In the event of a Sailfish Slam, all billfish points for that vessel will become 300 points per billfish release, including the billfish releases prior to the Sailfish Slam.

A Sailfish Slam is different from a Grand Slam in that it allows the three billfish species to be caught on different days of the tournament. An example is a Blue and a Sail on Thursday, and a White on Friday equals 900 points with the Sailfish Slam. However a Blue and a Sail on Thursday, and two Sails on Friday equals 800 points since there is no White to complete the Sailfish Slam.
