● The competition is a local team competition for pike fishing. You can have as many people in the boat as you want, but a maximum of 4 rods can be fished with at the same time.

● Team registration is mandatory and must be done online at fishy.nu, then you will also receive a login code for the app.

● At Upplev, where you can download measuring board in the morning from at 07:00 before the competition.

● Competition date: Saturday, October 28, 2023, 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Pike reported before or after these times will not be counted.

● A "blackout period" is applied from 2-4 pm when updated scores are not published, this is to increase the excitement before the awards ceremony, when the final results are announced.

● We fish until 4:00 p.m., when the rods should be out of the water and we head back to Upplev where we are offered sausages etc., at about 5:30 p.m. there will be an awards ceremony.

● The competition has two classes:

● Prizes awarded are 1-3 for the team that gets the longest 5 pikes regardless of class, 1 prize for the team that gets the longest 5 pikes in Spin and 1 prize for whoever gets the 5 longest i trolling and 1 prize for whoever gets it longest pike during the day.

● The total length of the team's five (5) longest pikes will be your final score.

● The competition officials are the judges in the competition, and decide whether the pikes have been treated correctly and whether the measurements you provide are correct. If cheating is suspected, the pike will not be counted. These decisions must be respected.

● If several teams end up with the same final result, it will be decided by the longest individual pike. If teams have the same length there as well, it will be decided by the time at which the longest pike was reported.

● Rules regarding the longest fish, if two people caught the same length, the one who reported the longest fish first wins.

● Handle the fish carefully, C&R must be conducted during the competition, and pictures where the pike is measured against a surface that could damage the fish will lead to disqualification. Such surfaces can be, for example, a jetty, gravel, dry ground or a stone slab.

● A maximum of 4 rods may be fished at the same time.

● Only artificial baits are allowed. 

● NOTE, All reporting must be done through the app "”Fishy Live”! Reports received in other ways will be rejected. More information https://www.fishy.nu/index.php/app 

● In the Fishy app, you identify yourself and log in via a numeric code you receive automatically when you register in advance. Everyone on the boat should and can download the Fishy app and log in with the same code, this way you can take turns creating and submitting reports. So feel free to install the app on more phones if you run out of battery in one of them.

● Photographs should be taken against a measuring board (or other suitable measuring equipment) together with the number that is sent out, both the number and the length of the pike should be clearly visible. It should also be photographed for a "posing picture" together with the catcher + number, also there the number should be clearly visible. It is important to measure the pike with the head towards 0. No hands may touch the tail coil or tail fin, if this should occur, 2cm will be deducted from the length.

● The posing photos submitted in connection with the reporting may be published on fishy.nu and in the organizer's channels. The photos submitted are already cleared in the app of all geo-information about where the photo was taken (so-called EXIF information)

● Only report performance increases.

● Fishing may only be conducted within the competition area, which is within the permitted fishing limits for Roxens Fisheries Conservation Area and Stångån. If you fish in a prohibited area, you will be immediately disqualified. NOTE, Svartån and Motala stream do not belong to the competition area! Respect the prohibited areas!

● A valid, personal fishing license in Roxen is a requirement. Illegal fishing without a fishing license will lead to immediate disqualification and a police report for violating the Fishing Act. During the day, supervision will be carried out by Roxen's FVOF, so bring your fishing license and identification.

● The Fishy app requests GPS position when reporting a catch, to ensure that the fish was caught within the permitted competition area. This position is shared only with the organizer, not other competing teams/individuals. When you install and use the app, you must agree that it can collect your current GPS position.

● You can use the ramp in the canal and the ramp at the boat club below Upplev, keep the speed at 4 knots in the canal when you drive out. 

● The competition management is not responsible for the participants' health, insurance or equipment during the competition. Life jackets are mandatory when the boat is being driven; when you are stationary, it is your own responsibility/judgment that applies. Floatation vests, floatation overalls, etc. are approved.
