At Sharkathon 2016 a miscommunication between a volunteer and a participant led to the participant not completing the process of data entry and the catches not being recorded to the system. This participant Robert Arnold, would have won 1^st place with his entries. Sharkathon has taken it upon itself to award 2 first place awards for the 2016 event. Bennie Glenn will keep his prize winnings and Robert Arnold will receive a duplicate prize amount. We are not going to shift winners as far as 2^nd and 3^rd place, we will keep what we announced at the event and add Robert Arnold into the record here on the website. We strive to make the check in process as easy and accurate as possible, we will use this incident to build a better system for next year.
