RULES
All boats start together in the water. It is not ok to trail the boat after starting before the day is over!
REPORTING
Documentation of fish is done together with the team's start number and the measuring board you receive at the captain's meeting. The minimum length for an approved perch is 30 centimeters. It is important that the pictures are CLEAR. There is no red area at the top of the measuring board, which is made of hard material and cannot be folded.
All reporting takes place via the THEBIG5 app, you should have received a new login for the final (if not, contact us).
1. You must report a picture with the measuring board and a picture of you posing with the perch.
We also need to be able to see a large part of the fish's cover to be able to determine recapture.
We recommend that you do not touch the fish at all when taking pictures.
If this is not possible, use as few fingers as possible (maximum one hand) to hold the fish in place during photography. The head, mouth and gill lids are always a prohibited area. This is for the best of the fish and to avoid pulling, pushing and tearing the fish to gain length. The caudal fin may be gently pressed together without damaging the fish.
2. The perches must always be reported in whole centimeters which are rounded down. If the measuring sticker shows 35.9, the fish must be reported at 35 cm.
3. Remember that the same fish may only be reported once per team. Recapture is deleted.
4. The fish must lie with the jaw/head towards the zero/stop on the measuring board and the belly must be downwards on the measuring board. The head should always be measured towards the zero and the fish's belly should point downwards. This is to avoid cheating and to always photograph the same side of the fish so that you cannot report the same fish twice. If the mouth does not touch the stop, we deduct X number of cm.
5. The entire perch must be visible and also the part of the decal needed to determine the length. If the perch is 30cm, it is enough for a little more than 30cm of the decal to be visible.
6. The photo must be taken directly above the stop (not diagonally from the right, for example). Photos taken at a questionable angle will be denied or have a deduction.
7. All fish should be handled carefully and released.
