Measurement, documentation & results
● Results are based on the combined longest fish (3 fish).
● The result for teams is based on the team's 6 longest fish (so a total of 6 fish)
● Measurement is made in whole centimeters – starting centimeters are rounded down.
● The fish must be documented by photographing it on an approved measuring board, with its nose clearly facing the stop.
● Pinched tail fin or hand/fingers on the tail coil is prohibited and may result in length deductions or the catch being disqualified.
● All registration must be done immediately in the competition's designated app.
Fair play, protests & penalties
● It is prohibited to deliberately disrupt other teams or share information inappropriately during the competition.
● All catches should be handled gently and quickly to minimize stress and damage to the fish.
● Violation of the rules may result in point deductions, disqualification of the catch, or disqualification of the entire team.
● The competition management's decision applies to the competition and cannot be changed afterwards.
Fishy Live is the competition's official app and should be used for all registration - each pike should be photographed and logged immediately upon capture (tip: make sure everyone on the team has the app installed so that the process goes quickly and smoothly).
If GPS/location services are used, you should let the app send coordinates according to the app's settings, so that the catch gets the correct position linked to the registration.
