THE TEXAS TRIO CLASSIC!!!
2020 Texas Trio Classic Postponement
To all fishermen and women, patrons, and friends of the Texas Trio Classic,
I hope this note finds you and your families happy and healthy during these uncertain times. After many weeks of conferring with port, city, county, and state officials, our Tournament Directors have made the difficult decision to postpone the 12th Annual Texas Trio Classic due to the continued uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.
The new dates for our tournament are October 22nd – October 24th.
Some of you may be wondering why we’re postponing, and why we’ve made the decision now versus waiting until later when more information could be available. In the spirit of transparency, we want to share with you a few of the considerations that ultimately drove us to make this decision sooner rather than later.
The purpose of our tournament has always been to support the health, wellness, and well-being of families in Matagorda County and surrounding areas. After conferring with experts, our team felt that holding the tournament in early June places at risk the very communities we serve and care so deeply about. In addition, we felt strongly that this decision should be made sooner rather than later to minimize the impact of the local economy where our tournament is held. Each year, local businesses in Matagorda and surrounding areas see an influx of business the week of our tournament, especially retail and vacation rentals. Deciding to postpone now allows companies the opportunity to adjust their plans and mitigate the financial losses that would almost certainly occur if we delayed the decision. Related to this, many patrons book vacation rentals that require a 30-day notice of cancellation to receive a refund of their deposit, and we wanted to allow ample time for this as well. For these reasons, we decided that now was the time to announce our decision to postpone the tournament until fall.
We hope you understand why we’ve made this decision and will join us in October for some cool weather fishing (for a change). Thank you again for your continued support of our tournament, and we’ll see you soon.
