BOAT AWARDS
Boat awards are based on the teams that have the most species and total weight. For instance if only one boat has two species, they will be the winner of the top boat awards. If two boats have two species, then the team with the most weight will be the winner, with the other boat assuming the next position. Each boat is allowed to weigh two redfish and two trout per day. Tournament cash awards are based on total number of entries less 10 percent.
