Pros & Past National Champions Due Oct. 15 Note to Divisional Winners
Divisional winners need to return your entry form now. Please just mark it “divisional winner.” Your entry fee will be taken care of. However, you must still come to registration and pick up your Captain’s Bag and Boat Number. A check for $270 will be sent to you two weeks before the event via mail to help cover three nights in Biloxi. (Average night stay for one room in Biloxi $90). You must still make your own room reservations. If you receive compensation and then do not show up, the money must be returned to the SKA.

Plan to win!

If you are the winner of the boat, motor, trailer package, be prepared to take the boat home with you or make arrangements to have it transported. Make sure you bring the phone number of your insurance agent. When we present it to you at the awards ceremony Sunday morning, from that point the boat is yours.
