Results are based on length in cm and documentation is done by taking a photo against the measuring board and reporting in the app "Fishy". Started centimeters are rounded down. The pike should be placed with the right side down and with the nose towards the top of the board, the pike should be placed on the board in such a way that there is no air between the nose and the top of the board and that the tail fin can be gently pressed together without damaging the fish. When taking photos, it should be clearly visible that the nose is against the edge and that the length can be clearly determined. 

Teamet mäter sina 3 längsta gäddor vilket ger en totallängd. Rapportering löpande. Vid samma totallängd avgör längsta fisk. Varje fisk granskas av tävlingsledningen i realtid. Så håll fisken i håven/livewell tills bilden blivit godkänd. ”Token” måste finnas med på bild (”token” är ett objekt tävlingsdeltagarna inte vet vad det är innan tävlingens start då det delas ut på kaptensmötet)
