At the start of every round, a number between 1 and 5 will be randomly drawn from a sealed container to determine the minimum number of sailfish a team must release to advance. Each number will only be drawn once. To win the pot, a team must survive all four rounds. If multiple teams advance through the final round, the team with the most releases in that round will be declared the winner, with ties broken by the earliest last qualifying release. If no team completes all four rounds, the pot rolls over to the next leg of the Quest for the Crest Sailfish Series.
