Overview:

The Gulf Coast Triple Crown Championship is a multi-Tournament Point Series consisting of 10 Gulf Coast Billfish Tournaments. The purpose of the Championship is to bring positive recognition and exposure to the outstanding Big Game fishing in the Northern Gulf of Mexico.

There is no requirement to participate in all Championship tournaments. The 2021 Championship winner will be determined by total accumulated GCTC points from their three highest tournament scores in the 2021 Championship Series tournaments. Only officially weighed Blue Marlin points and officially scored Catch & Release video points resulting in 1st 2nd and 3rd place in participating tournaments will be counted towards GCTC Championship Points. Optional (Calcutta) Cash Award positions and Gamefish points for individual sanctioned tournaments do not count towards GCTC scoring.

(** The BMGC utilizes a hybrid scoring system combining weighed Blue Marlin and Catch& Release points to determine official tournament winners. Therefore, GCTC points will be awarded to the winners of the BMGC as follows: The First Place BMGC Tournament winner will be credited 250 points, Second Place 175 points Third Place 100 points.)
