OFFICIAL F.I.P.S.e.d. RULES
CONCERNING
INTERNATIONAL "FOR NATIONS" COMPETITIONS
"CARP FISHING"
ORGANIZATION
-1- Official
international competitions must be organised by national federations affiliated
to C.I.P.S.. The organizing federation will be officially responsible for the
competition in question.
-2- Only those who are members of a national
federation affiliated to C.I.P.S. with their full annual fee paid for shall be
admitted; they are to be nominated by the federations they are members of; the
anglers who make up the teams of national federations must hold the nationality
of the latter.
An angler, who has already
participated in a World Championship or in an international competition
representing a nation, cannot compete for another nation.
The competitors must always be
able to prove their nationality by means of ID cards, passports or other
documents to attest their identity. The identifying document shall be
presented at the 1st team
managers' meeting.
Only teams that are members of
the national federations shall be admitted to World Championships.
In order to apply for the
organization of a championship, the nation in question must have participated
at least once, during the past three years, in the championship that it
proposes to organize.
A preview programme must absolutely be sent to the
secretary of F.I.P.S.e.d. before the end of November in the preceding year.
With the
exception of the World Fishing Games, F.I.P.S.e.d. can be responsible for
providing the software program and all certificates and classifications for
prize-givings for all the championships; in this case, the organising Nation
shall meet all board and lodging expenses (room, meals and closing gala dinner) for
the person undertaking this work; the stay may begin on the eve of
the first day of practice and end on the day after the closing dinner; F.I.P.S.e.d. will be responsible for travel costs.
For
all F.I.P.S.e.d. championships, the organising Nation shall meet all board and lodging expenses (room, meals and closing gala dinner) for two members of the F.I.P.S.e.d.
directive committee; the stay may begin on the eve of
the first day of practice and end on the day after the closing dinner.
A
championship cannot be awarded to a nation if the nation does not undertake to
put live fish back into the water after they have been counted and weighed (it
is forbidden to kill fish).
The
nation which organises a World or European championship will be responsible for
acquiring the trophies which will be paid for by F.I.P.S.e.d.; the nation must
provide 3 trophies for the team trials and 6 trophies for the individual
trials; these trophies must have a plaque, on which will be inscribed "F.I.P.S.e.d."
as well as the place and date of the championship. The maximum amount that F.I.P.S.e.d.
will reimburse will be 450 € for 9 trophies. F.I.P.S.e.d. will continue to
provide the medallions.
Programmes
and invitations for all championships should only be given to nations which are
members of F.I.P.S.e.d. (no invitations should be given to clubs or
individuals).
-3- Each nation that is a C.I.P.S. member will be
allowed to present only one team composed of 3 duos with 2 competitors each
(the carp fishing will be competed by "DUOS"). No competitor will be allowed to
participate as an individual. 2 reserves will be allowed for each nation;
if the substitution is performed, it will be definite. Competitors must be
replaced under the supervision of the stewards. Reserves may enter the ring
with their fishing tackle, but without bait and ground bait.
-4- The
competitions must be organized at watercourses, such as rivers or channels or
in suitable water basins, such as lakes, etc.; it must be possible to fish along the entire width of the venue; the
depth must be as even as possible in the entire area and it must be at least 1.5 meters. If a
river with currents constitutes the venue, the minimum width of the venue must
not be less than 100
meters if the competitors are lined up on one shore
only. For all other water basins (without currents), the minimum width of the
venue must be 100 metres,
if the competitors are lined up on one shore only or 300 meters if the
competitors are lined up on both shores. The carp density must be sufficient,
with a good percentage of fish weighing between 3 and 5 Kg.
-5- The selected venue must be
characterized by analogous fishing conditions for all competitors; furthermore,
the venue must allow the lining up of all participants without any possible
interruptions caused by power lines, bridges, etc, except from the space
between the sectors which must have a distance of at least 200 meters between them.
The venue must not present any dangers for the competitors or the spectators.
Particular sanitary equipment structures for first aid must be set up at the
proximity of the fishing venue. Organizers must provide competitors with
toilets, even of a mobile kind, equipped with running water, taps, showers and
washbasin.
In the choice of venues, it is preferable to give
priority to lakes rather than streams, however considering the fact that they
must accommodate 15 nations.
One or more members of the technical commission or a
competent delegate shall perform an inspection of the venue, which may be
selected for a championship, and this inspection must take place at the time of
year corresponding to that proposed for the organization of the competition in
question; the report of the inspection shall be submitted to the Executive
Committee of F.I.P.S.e.d. for evaluation and decision; this decision will then
be sent to C.I.P.S. for information. The final approval or rejection of a venue
by F.I.P.S.e.d. will be transmitted to the candidate nation.
With regard to accommodation, participating Nations will have two
possibilities:
1- To choose the official
accommodation proposed by the organising Nation (optional).
In this case the conditions of the stay will have to be made clear,
i.e.:
- the price per night per person for half board, depending on the number
of persons sharing each room, whatever the duration of the chosen stay (full
board cannot be mandatory); the participating Nation shall specify the dates of
its stay (the term "official stay" used by many Nations, starting on the
Thursday, has never appeared in any regulations, and therefore must not be
used);
- the price of the closing gala dinner.
The
accommodation terms proposed to Nations must be approved by the Technical Commission.
2- To find one's own accommodation.
In
this case participating Nations are required to communicate this choice to the
organising nation at the time of entry (on ad hoc entry form).
In the two cases (participation through or without the help of the
official organisation), the contribution for the entry fee is € 1300 including 10 closing gala dinners and 8 fishing
permits for the whole duration of the Championship (the period of practice and
the competition itself), insurance and sundry expenses such as gifts, cups,
trophies, etc..
With reference to the closing gala dinner, be it a dinner with table
service or a buffet dinner, participating Nations shall have at their disposal
a number of seats corresponding to the number of gala dinner places reserved
for them.
If no details about the accommodation have been
specified by the deadline set up by the organization, the participating nations will have to deal with
their own accommodation and then they have to pay 1300 € to the organization.
Any Nation that fills in an entry form and undertakes
to participate in a championship but then does not take part must in all cases
pay to the organising Nation the contribution of 1300 €. Nations failing to observe this rule
shall be forbidden from taking part in and organising future championships.
Organising Nations shall specify in the programme of the event a list of
hotels, lodgings, rooms and campsites situated within a radius of 20 km.
All participating nations have the obligation to
inform the organizing nation about their arrival date at least one week before
the first training day. Any absent nation (yet to arrive) on Friday morning
training shall be considered as WITHDRAWN and may not participate in the
championship.
The World Championship of "Carp Fishing" will take
place between the 15th September and 31st October.
-6- During competitions, the distance between the
fishing areas of each duo (considering the distance from the outside of an area
to the outside of another area) must have be comprised between a minimum of 40 and a maximum of 100 meters in lakes,
ponds etc. and a minimum of 70 meters in rivers.
The angling position of each duo
must be composed of a ring of "8 x 8 meters", which may be entirely used to set up
camping tents and umbrellas with discrete colouring (dark green, khaki or
"camouflage"); pegs placed at
intervals of 20 metres, planted
firmly into the shore and along the
border of the safety lane, will define the fishing area; furthermore, it is
necessary to create a corridor D which will serve as a passageway for organisers, Jury members, reserves, journalists and delegates of all
participating Nations. Access to this lane shall be forbidden for
the public and spectators.
A - Access
authorised for two competitors, their Team managers (one at a time) and Jury
members.
B - Access
authorised for Jury members, reserves, stewards, the Team Managers of the
Nation to which the competitors belong and the press, with the consent of the
two competitors.
C and D - Access authorised for the organisers, Jury
members, reserves, press and Delegates of all Nations, but forbidden to the public and
to spectators.
The team managers, 2 per Nation, may enter their teams' competitors'
sector; the team managers shall wear a visible back-number for identification,
clearly indicating relative status. Only one team manager at a time
shall be allowed inside a sector.
The organisation must customize each ring with a panel indicating names
and nationality of competitors and also number, weight and type of every fish
caught, updated every 6 hours.
TEAM MANAGER'S MEETING
7- It
would be preferable for General Stewards to attend the Team Managers meeting.
In the case a team manager or a delegate from a nation
is absent, the President of F.I.P.S.e.d. or his delegate will carry out the
operation of drawing lots.
The aim of this meeting is to give information and it
must take place on the eve of the competition. During the meeting, an
international jury will be appointed, in conformity with article 28 of the
present Official Rules. Subsequently, the following operations shall be carried
out:
1 Roll call of nations;
2 Nations will draw lots in alphabetical order to
determine the call-up order of drawing;
3 Draw to assign exclusively the sector the duo of
each team belongs to (A, B, C).
During the competition, the organisers will hold a
meeting every day.
If there are any urgent problems to discuss and solve,
an extraordinary meeting may be summoned by the organizers.
The attendance of the team
managers is obligatory. If a team manager cannot attend the meeting, for valid
reasons, a representative may substitute him, after having informed the
organizers.
During these meetings, no item of the Official Rules
may be modified.
DRAWING OF LOTS
-8- The drawing lots must be carried out at least 180
minutes before the beginning of the competition, under the scrutiny of the
organizers and in the presence of the team managers or delegates of each team
and of the representatives of the F.I.P.S.e.d..
The drawing lots will be carried out according to an
automatic grid defined in advance.
-9- In
streams, channels and watercourses, angling position number 1 must always be
situated downstream; in still waters (lakes, ponds, etc.), position number 1
will always be situated to the left looking at the lake and the marking will
run from the left to the right.
-10- Team
managers will receive a back number for each one of the competitors that
constitute the duos.
The back
number by the captains should be green (two team manager back-numbers
shall always be provided) and the ones
for the reserves should be red. The back numbers by the competitors will be of
different colours for each sector (except green or red) or will be of a neutral
colour with different coloured lettering for each sector.
GENERAL
RULES
-11- Each
duo will have 120 minutes to prepare its material. As soon as the anglers
arrive to the venue, they must wear their back numbers and deposit all their
equipment at the allotted ring, without entering the ring (these rules also
regard those who help the anglers transport their equipment). It is not allowed
to prepare the material until the official starting signal is given, indicating
that the competitors are allowed to enter their rings. During the subsequent
preparative operations, the competitors may not receive any help. The bait and
the entire material may be handed over to the competitors only until the signal
for the authorisation of fish feeding is issued. After this signal, it will be possible to provide the competitors with
baits, ground baits, equipment or fishing tackling only once during the
competition, through the intermediation of the team manager. The said provision
will take place during the round, contemporarily for all nations. The
day, hour and duration of this provision will be defined during the first
meeting of the Team Managers.
The competitors may reach
the venue by their personal means of transport.
-12- There must be one steward assigned to each duo and
a general steward for each sector. The individual and general stewards must
have full knowledge of the rules of the competition. In order to assure that each duo has at least one
steward constantly present, more stewards may be alternated in shifts. The
weighing of a catch of a duo of the organizing nation will be validated not
only by the steward in charge but also by a member from another country.
The individual steward
must:
a- Control
the carp keep-net and, if necessary, control the ground bait quantity.
b- Control
the angling behaviour of the duo he is responsible for.
c- Verify
and make note of every fish caught and of its weight.
d- At the end of the competition, he will keep the
duo's catch under observation and forbid all access into the angling position
by persons without a due authorization, until the weighing team has arrived;
lastly, the steward will undersign the weighing protocol containing the weight
of the fish, together with the duo assigned to him.
-13- Only carps (mirror, common, leather) and amours
(white or silver coloured) will be validated. To be validated, the fish will
have to weigh at least 1500
grams. These regulations must be included in the
program and repeated at the team managers' meeting. The fish must only be kept alive in carp keepnets
(only 1 fish per keepnet). During the competition, the keepnets must be
submerged, along their full length, without any lead or ballast or other
objects inside them. No other system for preserving the caught fish is allowed.
Competitors must be equipped with a sufficient quantity of carp keepnets. Any
competitors who, due to an evident carelessness, present maimed or damaged fish
for weighing, will be sanctioned. In this case, the fish in question will not
be considered as valid. In case of a lack of keepnets, please ask the stewards
to weigh some fish to free some keepnets.
-14- The usage of baits and animal ground baits, both
living and dead, fish roe and products of metal origin is strictly forbidden.
Only the
following will be authorised: meals, covering mixes, seeds, boilies and
pellets.
All of the
mixes prepared using the above products must not exceed the size of a 40 mm ball. Argyle, bentonite
and baiting-leads on
which covering meal has been placed are
forbidden.
At the end of the competition, any
rests of ground baits must not be thrown into the water.
-15- The competition will be performed by sectors, in
one leg of the duration 72 hours; in case of a forced interruption (e.g. a
thunderstorm), the leg will be considered valid providing it has lasted for at least
48 hours.
In
the event of an interruption due to a storm prior to the end of 48 hours of
competition, the competition may resume, but the period of interruption shall
not be added to the initial 72 hours. If the interruption occurs after 48 hours
of competition have elapsed, the competition shall not be resumed, and the
results thus far obtained shall be deemed valid.
-16- Each
competitor is expected to follow rules of the competition integrally.
-17- The
length of the rods must be less than 4 meters.
Reels must obligatorily be equipped
with a fixed drag.
The fishing
action must be performed inside the competition ring assigned to the duo; the
limits of the ring, its extension, imaginary and orthogonal with respect to the
shore, must be taken into consideration by means of two half-lines originating
from each of the two pegs that delimit the competition area. Baiting outside
this competition area is forbidden.
During
the angling operation, all mounted lines must be thrown from the fishing ring,
only using the fishing rod and not by any other means.
Only a single hook will be
allowed for each fishing-line; the usage of the hair rig is compulsory.
Only traditional angling
methods with a lead of a minimum of 50 g will be allowed. If it breaks, the type of
mounting used will allow the fish to easily free itself from the lead. At the
same time, the mounting should also have a "anti shock" system in order to
avoid breaks when casting.
Fishing
using floats is forbidden.
Fishing
using ground baiting and rods of the subsequent types: swing feeder, swing tip,
quiver tip and resorts baits is forbidden.
Back leads
will be allowed, but at any time, the stewards may require their withdrawal to
verify the angling axes.
During the
throwing of the tackles, the lead must not have any lateral movements in the
ring. Lead movements must follow obligatorily be in the direction of the
ring/water and water/ring.
The usage of remote controlled
and echo scanner devices is forbidden.
The
usage of electronic, acoustic and visual bite signalling units is allowed.
The limits of
the fishing areas may be signalled by means of 2 reference floats, which may or
may not be luminous. These references must be installed inside the fishing area
as defined by the pegs demarcating the competition area. References may be
maintained throughout the competition, but will have to be removed when the
competition has ended.
The keepnets and the damp reception beds are
compulsory to accommodate the fish. Their size and quality must ensure the
safety of the fish.
The keepnets and the damp
reception beds must obligatorily be dampened before accommodating the fish.
After the weighing,
the fish, which is living and in optimal condition, must be put back into the
water with due precaution.
The protection units against
the weather conditions for the benefit of the competitors (tents and such) must
obligatorily be installed inside the assigned ring.
It is
forbidden to illuminate the water by means of torches or lamps; however, it is
allowed to use illumination aids inside the tent; discrete lighting with a
frontal torch will be allowed to net fish.
It is allowed to get into
the water wearing fishing boots (arriving no higher than until the knees), but
only to net a fish or to place the net adequately where it may be kept for the
moment.
At the end of the
competition, the rings must to be left in perfect conditions of cleanliness.
All devices with a
propulsion power using compressed air, gas or electricity are forbidden.
The circulation of cars is
prohibited during the night, except for the cars belonging to the organizers.

judged valid, even if it is incidentally hooked outside the mouth.
A
deliberate foul hooking of fish is strictly forbidden.
Flames
of any nature are forbidden below the awning.
-18- Competitors may keep and assemble as many rods as
they wish, but they are allowed to fish only with a maximum of 4 rods per duo

and signalled and they must not be set up on the rod pod maintaining poles in
action.
-19- The
usage of the net is allowed only for the competitors.
-20- Competitors are not allowed to receive outside
help; only the team manager is authorized to access the angling ring of the
competitors of his team and this only to give verbal advice; a team manager is
not allowed into the ring of an angler who is not part of his team.
-21- Competitors may use the ring allotted to them as
they prefer.
Inside the ring allotted to
them, the competitors must move discreetly and noiselessly. Any angling action
must only be performed inside the ring (throw-in, recuperating, ground baiting
and netting).
At night the use of
"flashes" or any other lighting system is forbidden (hours to be established
during the course of the first meeting of team managers).
-22- Anglers must wait for the first signal to access
their ring; after the first signal, they may start preparing their
equipment, testing their tackle, preparing their ground bait (except for the
limitations indicated in article 14). To perform these preparative operations,
they have 120 minutes at their disposal.
At the second signal, the
competitors may start the operations of ground baiting and fishing.
Only manual
baiting or baiting using a catapult manipulated with both hands (of the type used for throwing baits)
or tubes for throwing boilies handled with one or two hands, or big spoons with
handle or grip held by one or two hands or catapults placed on the ground and
handled with two hands, the propulsion power of which must be elastic bands or,
possibly, springs, soluble bags, soluble wires, baits rockets with a dimension
that does not exceed 50
millimetres at the inner diameter and 200 millimetres of
length, thrown by means of a fishing-rod are allowed. From 6.30 p.m. until 9 a.m., it is forbidden to use
the catapults and bait rockets placed on the ground. Only throwing sticks for boilies
using one or both hands are authorised.
Except for
this time band, baiting is allowed with all baits and systems allowed as per
the rules.
The third signal
warns the competitors that only 15 minutes remain until the end of the
competition.
The fourth
signal marks the end of the competition.
Another 15
minutes are allowed to take out a fish from the water before the 4th signal.
In this
case, a 5th signal will be issued 15 minutes after the 4th signal; after the 5th signal, no fish will count unless it is
totally clear of the water.
The acoustic
signals for the different phases of the championships should be short; in all
cases, the beginning of the signal is taken into consideration.
-23- During the competition, individual
stewards assigned to competitors shall stand behind the angler, on his right or
left side, in such a way that they do not disturb the angler, but can still
control the fish caught by the angler assigned to them. Carp keep-nets must be
placed so that the stewards can see them; the fish shall be deposited and kept
alive in the carp keep-net until the weighing team arrives.
WEIGHING OPERATIONS
-24- The weighing operations will be carried out by
three teams composed by 2 elements each (one team for each sector). All weighing
procedures must take place as soon as possible and at least every 2 hours. The
weighing must be carried out with a scales certified with a conformity
certificate; the scales shall be suspended on a tripod placed on the ground in
the official corridor. In the three sectors, the scales must be identical, both
as regards the model and the brand and with a graduated scale with indications
every 50 grams.
-25- The indication of
the weight must be visible contemporarily both by the stewards and by the
competitors of the duo assigned to them.
Apart from stewards, the
competitors assigned to them and their team manager, no other person, except
members of the Jury, has the authorization to intervene neither verbally nor in
other ways for claims regarding the weighing.
One person will be responsible for the weighing.
Another person will be responsible for registering the
weight on the official document.
Two sets of scales will be provided for each sector.
The carp keepnet provided by the organisation will be compulsory for the
weighing of each fish; it will be dampened and tared before every weighing.
Carp keepnets must be of a special type suitable for the weighing of carps,
made of a soft, synthetic material, which is permeable and fretworked. The
keepnets must be identical for all three sectors.
The weighing must be performed in grams.
-26- Until the weighing team arrives to the anglers'
position, the competitors must leave their carp keepnets containing the fish in
the water. The fish shall be taken up, deposited in the weighing keepnet,
placed on a reception bed suitable for this aim by one member of the duo; after
weighing, the fish must be put back in the water under the supervision of the
stewards (after weighing fish cannot be returned to the keepnet). This operation must be performed with
great care.
-27- The
duo must be present at the above described
operations to control the weight and sign the weighing protocol on which the weight
of the catch is recorded. Once the weighing procedure is finished, when the
fish has been put back into the water and the weighing protocol has been
signed, no complaint about the weight will be accepted.
THE JURY
-28- An international JURY will be appointed
to examine any complaints lodged and to apply sanctions as per the rules; the
JURY will be made official during the team managers' meeting held on the eve of
the competition.
The JURY will be composed of the subsequent members:
- The
President of F.I.P.S.e.d. or the substitute nominated by him
- The General
Secretary of F.I.P.S.e.d.
- The members
of the Executive Committee of F.I.P.S.e.d. and of the technical, young and
environmental commissions that are present at the championship.
- The
delegate representing the organizing nation, unless he is of the same
nationality as the above mentioned members, apart from the President of
F.I.P.S.e.d. (or his substitute) who will automatically be the President of the
Jury.
If an infringement is made by a competitor or by a
team of the same nationality as a member of the JURY, the latter may not vote
(except if he is the President of the JURY).
The members of the JURY must wear a "JURY" badge and
they must be present on the competition venue to be able to receive any
complaints. A place where one or more members of the JURY always can be found
must be indicated.
-29- Any
complaints, except for those regarding the classifications, must be submitted
to the JURY within 1 hour after the end of the competition. The complaints may
be presented verbally, but they must immediately be confirmed in writing.
Complaints concerning the classification must be made
within 30 minutes after the official results have been published. The time of
publishing will be noted on the official result list. A deposit of 55 € must
accompany every written complaint submitted to the JURY. If the JURY does not
uphold the complaint, the deposit will be forfeited into the account of
F.I.P.S.e.d..
All infractions and warnings must be communicated to
the JURY, which is the only authority with powers to decide for or inflict
disqualifications. A duo that is the object of a sanction must be informed
about this immediately.
The JURY members and all general stewards must make
sure the rules are followed and they must have perfect knowledge about their
contents.
-30- The
rules, which are published in the 2 official languages, shall be made available
for the JURY and the team managers by the organization of the Championship.
The international JURY will adopt its decisions on a
simple majority basis; in the event of a tied vote, the President of
F.I.P.S.e.d. or his substitute will have the casting vote.
All members of the Executive Committee of F.I.P.S.e.d.
must wear a personal badge and they may circulate in the official corridor for
managers and for those responsible for the organization. The badge shall be
valid only for the term of office of the Executive Committee (4 years).
LIST OF SANCTIONS
-31- The sanctions are as follows:
a) Warning for
the infringement of articles 11, 19, 20,
22, 23 and 26.
b) Disqualification
for the infringement of articles 13, 14,
17 and 35 and after a second
warning for the infringement of articles 11,
19, 20, 22, 23 and 26.
c) If a duo is
disqualified, a number of points equal to the number of the participating
nations + 1 will be assigned to it. If a duo is disqualified, the duos, which
follow upon it in the classification, will keep their original placing (for
example: X that was qualified 8th is disqualified, the subsequent duos
will keep their places and will mark 9 points, 10 points, and so on).
d) If a nation
receives a warning, this will be noted in its file and remain archived for a
period of 3 YEARS. In the case of a new infringement during this 3 YEAR period,
this will be considered as a relapse and the JURY will make its decision,
taking this relapse and the list of sanctions into consideration.
e) If a duo
receives a warning, this remains noted in its file for a period of 3
YEARS. In case of a new infringement, this will be considered as a
relapse and the JURY will make its decision taking into this new infringement
and the list of sanctions into account.
f) The F.I.P.S.e.d. directive committee will have
the authority, both during a competition and subsequently, to impose sanctions
on fishermen, captains or reserves if they commit infractions or behave in a
bad way, also if these infractions are not specified in the official
regulations.
-32- The
members of the Executive Committee of F.I.P.S.e.d. may access to the venue and
make notes of any infringements of the rules.
CLASSIFICATION
-33- 1- TEAM CLASSIFICATION
A - SECTORS
a) Classification
on weight in each sector (1 point per gram). In case of a tied weight in a
sector, the duos in question will totalise a number of penalties equalling the
average position that they should have held (example 1: two duos who both
arrive 5th obtain a total penalty (5+6):2 = 5.5 penalty each;
example 2: three duos who all arrive 8th, obtain a total penalty of
(8+9+10):3 = 9 penalty each).
b) Duos who have caught no fish or "catch" receive a
number of points equal to the average non-attributed places in their sector
(example 1: twenty-four duos, twelve of which are classified at the first 12
places with penalty from 1 to 12, the subsequent will mark (13+24):2 = 18.5
penalties each; example 2: twenty-nine duos, five of which are classified with
a total penalty from 1 to 5, and the 24 duos who have not caught any fish will
mark (6+29):2 = 17.5 penalties; example 3: twenty-nine duos, twenty-six of
which are classified and 3 have caught no fish and will mark (27+29):2 = 28
penalties). If there is only 1 duo that has caught no fish or if a duo is
absent, it will mark the last position in the sector (example: twenty-nine
duos, twenty-eight of which have caught fish, the duo without any fish will
mark 29 penalties).
B - GENERAL CLASSIFICATION
a) Sum of the penalties obtained in each sector by the
duos that make up the national team; the national team with the lowest number
of penalties will be classified 1st and so on.
b) If a tie on points occurs between the teams in
question, the duos with the highest total fish weight will win.
c) If a tie still exists, the highest duo weight shall be
take into account and so on.
2 - INDIVIDUAL CLASSIFICATION OF DUOS
Duos classified first in a sector will take the first
places in the general classification; duos classified second in a sector will
take the following places and so on.
If a tie between duos exists on weight, priority will
be given to the duo with the highest weight catch. If a tie still exists,
priority will be given to the highest average weight (overall weight/catch
number).
