Close to 60 teams entered for round one and with round two coming around the ANZAC Day long weekend, another strong showing is expected. More than 50 teams have already entered, including East Gippslanders Paul and Justin conn, Blair and Nikki Bryant, Steven and Lindsay Pryke, Allan Lavell and Rod Pardew, Stephen and Brett Campisi, Braddley and Harry Young, among others.

"In 2025 the series is only going from strength to strength with more amazing sponsors than ever before and over $180,000 in cash and prizes up for the grabs. Many of the prizes are randomly drawn, so everyone has a chance to win some amazing prizes." Following round two Mallacoota the series returns to East Gippsland for round four at Marlo on August 16 and 17.
