BASIC RULES

 

1. The race takes place only on the territory of the Czech Republic on union waters according to the rules of the fishing regulations on waters of 10 ha and more. Fish from private and other areas are not counted.

2. Union waters are understood only as those where CRS and MRS permits are valid. The districts have their own name, their district number and are kept in the union lists. It is not possible to fish on water areas that require a special purchase of permits, or only a valid state fishing license is sufficient to purchase a permit, waters managed by private users, etc. Therefore, it is not possible to fish on waters such as Lake Štít, Dyje 6, private sports grounds, etc.

3. All team members must fish together in one place on the given area. It is not possible for one team member to fish, for example, from the shore and two other team members to fish from a boat, or for one team to fish from two boats that are not anchored together, etc.

4. Teams may change locations during the race. The location, but must meet the rules of the race.

5. Teams must always report the area number 24 hours before the start of the hunt. If the team registers a fish for the competition and does not have the current area number reported, this fish will not be included in the competition.

6.  No team member may fish in the reported area in the last ten days before the start of the race.

7. Teams must secure a valid permit to fish on the union grounds at their own expense. If it is a foreign team, the organizer will try to provide more detailed information to obtain a hunting permit.

8. Only persons over the age of 18 can participate in the race, who have met the conditions of registration and have been retroactively confirmed to start the race.

9. It is a condition that the phone number provided in each team's registration form has an active WhatsApp account. This number will then be added to the group:  UNIQUE CARP CUP

10. Team members compete at their own risk. The organizer bears no responsibility for any damage to health, property, etc. associated with this competition.

11. Only live fish must be photographed and filmed. Dead fish do not count towards competitions.

12. It is strictly forbidden to bag and store fish.

13. We treat catches with care and observe fishing regulations.

14. Competitors are obliged to keep order after each other.

15. A team cannot enter one fish twice, even if it is caught a second or third time.

16. Videos or photos may be published in a WhatsApp group, on social networks, websites, magazines, newspapers, TV shows, etc.

17. If the race does not take place due to reasons other than force majeure, the entry fee will be returned to the competing teams in full within 14 working days of notification of the cancellation of the race to the accounts from which the entry fee was paid.

18. Mobile data and internet must be active on the mobile device throughout the race for the correct functionality of the GPS positions.

19. In case of damage (breakage, loss, etc.) of the table, which is necessary to document the catch, the team can ask the organizer for a new one (duplicate). This service will be charged for 1,000 CZK and will be sent within 24 hours after reporting by express delivery (post) to the nearest post office in the team's vicinity. In the case of a weekend or holiday, there may be a delay. Teams are only entitled to one duplicate.

20. GPS positions, circuit numbers, some parts of video recordings and photos are intended only for the organizer, race purposes and control, and will not be published publicly. Competitors should be careful how they arrange their weigh-in and fish-documenting area to avoid over-exposing fishing spots ("SITE BURNING").

 

CATCH DOCUMENTATION PROCEDURE

 

1. A team that wants to enter a fish in the competition must record a video in one piece in the following order:

a)  during the footage, the team will film the angler fighting with a detail on the rod with a seal (the registration code must be visible on the seal, and the video recording must still have a shot of the angler fighting).

b)  after the fish has been tackled and picked up, the weighing jacket must be sufficiently poured, the jacket placed on the scale, which is on the weighing tripod, and the scale zeroed with the weighing jacket poured (the weighing jacket must not be poured from this moment on).

c)  removing the fish from the water and placing it in a wet weighing jacket and weighing it until the scale locks the given weight.

d)  placing the fish in the mat, including watering. Taking two photos (one and the other side) with a completed table (the table will contain the name of the competition, the name of the team, the weight of the fish, the time and date of the catch, the unique code for the given fish).

e)  releasing the fish back into the water.

Instructions can be found  HERE

The angler who tackles the fish must still be in the cameraman's field of view. If an angler tackles a fish from a boat in the evening and at night with poor lighting, a cameraman must also be on the boat to see what is happening to the fish. After the fish has been tackled, the cameraman should stand far enough away to capture the entire location, including the fish in the sinker in the water, for documentation and photography. He should only approach when taking details of the seal, zeroing the scale and then photographing the catch.

If the teams will artificially prolong the process of documenting the catch (from catching to releasing the fish), for example due to the creation of some lengthy photo and video material, such a fish will not be included in the competition. The team can create all their photo and video materials during the documentation of the catch.

2. The team must take a screenshot of the details of the video and photo to see when, how much, what, where (GPS location) the video and photo were taken.

Instructions can be found  HERE

3. The photos and videos that will be sent to the competition must be legible and clear. The video recording must have a format of at least FULL HD and 60 frames. The video quality must be set in the camera settings of the mobile device.

Instructions can be found  HERE

4. Only IPHONE with iOS 17 and above must be used to take pictures and make videos. GPS location for the camera must be enabled on this device and the time zone set to Prague.

Instructions can be found  HERE

5. Competitors or other persons may not edit or change the location and time details of the videos and photos created.

6. Photos and videos must be created only in the original phone application (camera).

7. After catching a fish, the team will be assigned a unique registration code by the organizers. The phone number for assigning a unique code will be listed in the heading of the group on WhatsApp. This code must be written on the table in the appropriate column. The table was sent to the teams with the other items before the start of the race. It is necessary to write the date and time, the weight of the fish on the table. In areas where 24-hour fishing is not allowed, codes will only be issued 10 minutes after midnight and then from 4 am.

8. Photographs and video recordings must be made with as much care as possible to the fish (fish should be taken out of the water for the shortest possible and necessary time).

9. There must always be at least two team members in the photo with the fish. One holding a fish and the other holding a table. If at least two team members are not in the photo, the fish will not be entered into the competition.

 

RACE SCORING PROCEDURE

 

1. If there is a match in the sum of the weights, the team that recorded the final sum faster (calculated according to the catch time on the tables) wins.

2. If the sum of the weights matches, the organizer will check the time to see if the teams have written the correct times (corrections may be made in case of errors).

3. The time we fill in the table is determined at the moment when the team picked up the fish in the net (this will be recorded on video).

4. If the team is placed 1st, 2nd, 3rd. place or will have the biggest fish of the race, every team member must send a photo of a valid fishing permit within 6 hours after the end of the race so that it is clear who the permit belongs to, the permit number, the recorded attendance during the race and ten days before the start of the race. This information is only for the organizer to check and will not be published anywhere.

Instructions can be found  HERE

5. If a team does not submit the required video footage of the registered fish within the specified time limits or the video footage does not have clear required details (the video footage will be cut or not in one piece, there will be blind spots where there will be no shot of the fish, and what is happening to the fish will not be detailed to the seal, the fighting angler will not be in the shot, etc.) this caught fish will not be included in the competition.

6. If the team's number of points drops, for example due to failure to provide a video recording or the recording does not meet the required parameters, the next team in the order that has documented the necessary documents to officially confirm the catch will take its place.

7. After the races, the organizer has 12 hours to analyze the video recordings and other documents needed to confirm the official results.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND LESSONS

 

1. Teams may gradually delete video footage after the official confirmation of the catch.

2. Teams can take photos, film and subsequently record video even during the race from normal fishing activities on the water. Materials from these photos and videos may be used by the organizer for publication during the race on social networks and for further promotion.

3. Teams that do not place should register all their catches according to the rules, as this increases their chance for the next year's free entry fee draw.

4. Please note that teams have three members and there must always be at least 2 team members in the photo with the fish. For example, if one member of the team falls ill, the team can continue the race with two members, but they must arrange for someone to take photos and videos of the team. For example, if two team members fall ill, the team unfortunately has to withdraw from the race because it does not meet the conditions and rules of the race. After the start of the races, it is no longer possible to change or add team members (in this case, the team is not entitled to a refund of the entry fee).
