All-Star vs. All-Pro
This past weekend, SFC held its first-ever All-Star Weekend, presented by AFTCO at the Islands of Islamorada in the Florida Keys. The All-Star roster selections were determined solely by popular vote, which was open to the public over the course of the season. The campaign ran from July 10 to August 30, with thousands of votes recorded.
The two-day competition pitted the Atlantic Division All-Stars against those from the Gulf Division in a four-boat competition. The Atlantic defeated the Gulf Division, 900 points to 525 points.
As a postseason honor, there is no additional competition connected with All-Pro selections.
