Weighing rules
During the competition, the organizers provide continuous weighing from sunrise to sunset, and an extraordinary night weighing can be requested if the 5 mandatory floating scales are full and a fish larger than 20 kg is caught.
Competitors are obliged to actively participate in the entire weigh-in, photography, and data recording process, however, in justified cases, the weigh-in can be suspended for the duration of the fatigue and then the sacking.
It is the competitor’s duty to report all fish caught that can be evaluated to the regionally competent competition judge via SMS to the competition judges in the sector.
From catch to weighing, the fish must be stored in a floating scale – of the quality specified in accordance with the VSZ – at a suitable (minimum 1 m) water depth.
The evaluation can only be done with the device provided by the competition judge and the organizer and presented to the teams, otherwise it cannot be included in the result.
At the weigh-in, a member of the given team must be present as the judge and a team member from the neighboring team who authenticates the catch.
The weighing documentation (date of catch, competitor’s name, weight of fish caught) must be authenticated by the signature of one of the team members.
It is the responsibility of the contestants to check the correctness of the indicated data.
After the official documentation of the measurement, a photo is taken of each fish caught and evaluated, with one competitor holding the fish in his hand, while the other holds the sector board next to him with the necessary data.
During the weigh-in, the photo taken by the competition judge for the purpose of documenting the competition takes precedence, after which photos for private use may be taken, but the fish must be released immediately after the photo is taken in the presence of the competition judge.
The documentation can only be modified with a countersignature from the competition judge.
If there is a discrepancy between the evaluation sheets of the competitor and the judge, the entry of the evaluation sheet of the judge is valid.
After weighing, the competition judge forwards the obtained documentation and photographs to the organizing center, where these data are recorded.
In all circumstances, the most important thing is the safety of the fish, so photography and release must be handled carefully.
After the weighing, the fish can only be released by the judge or, in the presence of the judge, by the next team member.
In the case of fish over 15 kg, which, according to the competition, still has a chance for the prize of the biggest fish, two consecutive measurements are mandatory, but in the event of a possible discrepancy, the result of the weighing showing the larger weight will be registered.
