Create A Team: Teams for the Tres Pescados Slam Tournament consist of no more than 2 fly fishers and 1 guide for the Pro Division and no more than 2 fly fishers without a guide for the amateur division.

Fielding a team can be a fun event for local fly shops, sporting goods outlets, fly fishing clubs, and other organizations. Hosting a "Cast Off" or other similar events in your local town whereby 2 person fly fishing teams compete for the chance to attend the Tres Pescados Slam Tournament here in Belize can not only be fun but profitable for your organization.

Holding a "Cast Off" event is rather simple with an elimination event where entries assemble at the local casting ponds, park, or other venue where 200 feet of casting area is available and compete for distance or accuracy. Providing team sponsorship via donations, entry fees, or other means, will help your organization as well as defray the costs of sending the team to compete in Belize.
