Goggle Eye Tournament 1 Results
Roo Roo In Command
The Goggle-Eye tournaments have gotten off to a flying start, and the old veteran Peter “Roo Roo” Roett dominated proceedings with a fine victory in spite of a broken engine that saw him out of action for some time. He also had a new look crew that featured John “St. Thomas Fisherman” Williams and his beautiful daughter who we understand brought skill and luck to the boat. “Auntie Joy” rounded out the crew, and put the young hot-rods on the other boats in their place with her experience. The other places were keenly contested with a mere 1 lb separating P-Dawg and Tara Too for second and third place. The action continues tomorrow night so let’s hope that hurricane Dean stirred up some fish and that catches are good.

Remember, we have restructured the tournaments this year to include a points system similar to the Offshore Tournaments in an effort to reward the other classes of fish, as well as the juniors and ladies, and in so doing make the tournaments more competitive. The following points structure will now be in place to judge the overall winners and other places for each individual tournament, and then the previously mentioned Championship points will be allocated for teams to take forward, with the overall Champion being adjudged as the team with the highest total from their best 2 tournaments of each series (i.e. best 2 Goggle-Eye and best 2 Barracuda).
Goggle-Eye | Pts | Barracuda | Pts |
| Most Pounds Goggle-eyes: | 7 | Most Heads Barracudas | 7 |
| 2nd/3rd/4th/5th most pounds: | 4/3/2/1 | 2nd/3rd/4th/5th most Heads: | 5/4/3/2 |
| Heaviest Goggle-eye: | 2 | Most Pounds Barracudas | 2 |
| Heaviest Snapper: | 1 | Heaviest Barracuda | 2 |
| Heaviest Horse-eye: | 1 | Heaviest AOV | 1 |
| Most Sennets: | 1 | Junior heaviest Barracuda | 1 |
| Junior heaviest Goggle-eye: | 1 | Female heaviest Barracuda | 1 |
| Female heaviest Goggle-eye: | 1 |
Just to remind you, the overall points system for the Small Boat Championship is the same again: 1st – 5 pts, 2nd – 4 pts, 3rd – 3 pts, 4th – 2 pts, 5th – 1 pt, all other positions no points, with your best 2 results from the Goggle-Eye and best 2 from the Barracuda being added together to decide the champion. In the event of a tie for the overall prize, the tiebreaker will be that the winning boat will be the one with the biggest barracuda of the boats tied. A tie during an individual tournament will see the tied vessels sharing equally the points available for the available positions (e.g. two boats tied for 1st will share 9 points and each get 4.5 points, while the next boat in line will place 3rd). Until next time, tight lines.
