We'd like to congratulate all our competitors for making this an exciting tournament for fans and spectators. Despite the low total number of qualifying sharks caught, every team fought hard until the end in what turned out to be a very close and hard-fought competition. We'd also like to thank all our sponsors, partners and the media for making it all possible. We'll be updating the site with plenty of pictures and video from the weekend so stay tuned. For now, we proudly present our 2012 Champions and tournament standings.
