The table can be attached to the landing net) . During the filming, the contestant must take a photo of the fish without interrupting the video recording.

Instructions can be found  HERE

 

RACE SCORING PROCEDURE

 

1. If there is a match of points, the winner is the one who scored the most points faster (registered catches for the competition faster).

SPECIFIC RULES AND CATCH REGISTRATION

 

1. Register your catch through the administration on the website www.fishingleagueandcup.cz (log in to the administration by clicking on  log in  based on the access data you received after confirming your registration for the competition).

You can find it  HERE

2. If the above-mentioned option does not work for some technical reasons, photos and video recordings can exceptionally be sent via  uschovna.cz  to e-mail  universal@fishingleagueandcup.cz  after prior agreement with the organizer.

You can find it  HERE

3. Photos and videos must be taken with the greatest possible care of the fish (fish should be taken out of the water for the shortest possible and necessary time).

4. A meter must be used to measure the fish, which each competitor will receive from us.

You can find it  HERE

5. Fish are measured according to the rules:
a) Fish up to 20 cm are measured in millimeters (without rounding).
b) Fish over 20 cm are always rounded down to half a centimeter (if a fish is, for example, 25.8 cm, it is rounded down to 25.5 cm).

6. During the competition, you can exchange larger fish for smaller ones.

7. Registration of the catch must be done no later than the next day after catching the fish. The exception is the last day of the year, when it is necessary to register no later than 31.12.2025 by 24:00.

8. The fish for bonus points must be photographed on a meter so that the beginning and end of the meter can be seen, followed by the decimal number on the meter. Example: I catch a carp of 72 cm, I put the fish on the measuring mat so that the number 80 on the measuring scale can be seen in the photo. It must be clear that the fish is 72 cm (this is because the scales on meters may not be visible through the fish).

9. Each photo or video recording (both for the competition and for bonus points) must have a small table with the competitor's number on it. These tables will be sent before the start of the competition (the size of the table is approx. 5x5 cm, it will be possible to attach it to the tray).

e) Black bass is classified as a micropterus.
12. Competitors can file a protest for violating the rules, for example wrong identification of the fish species, etc. Each such protest is charged 500 CZK (the amount must be paid on the day the protest is filed, by transfer to the organizer's account). If the protest is evaluated as justified, the amount will be returned. If the protest is evaluated as unjustified, the amount will not be refunded. The protest must be filed immediately upon discovery, at the latest in the case of:

a) Violation of rules, etc. within 24 hours when the violation occurred.
b) Wrong determination of the fish species within 48 hours of the official publication in the catch table.

13. Competitors should have the fish recorded on multiple photos from both sides, so that, for example, in the event of a protest, they will be able to document the photos for the exact identification of the fish species.

14. If it is not possible to accurately determine the fish species (there will be more doubts), such fish will not be included in the competition.
