Collection: 05:30 in Hagaparken in Hofors to pick up the measuring board, the competition is also this year Covid-adapted.

To begin with, read the rules carefully and the parking information on the website, this still applies.

However, we want everyone to stay in their cars in the morning and only the team captain leaves the car to pick up a measuring board directly on arrival and then get back into the car. 

Ev. can we answer any questions quickly at pick-up if anything is unclear.

Then you wait in the cars until the start at six o'clock, the usual rules at the start apply as stage 1 goes first, etc.

If all teams are in place and have picked up boards, the start could possibly go a little before 6.

ATTENTION! All participants must be at the gathering, otherwise it is considered cheating and the team is excluded.

When checked in the morning, the team is excluded and is not even allowed to start.

Competition time: 06:00 - 17:00 (Darkness from 14:00)

Termination: 17:30 gathering at the latest in Hagaparken again. Late arrival means exclusion.

Collection location:

SPL:

The pike fight is a sub-competition in the SPL. If you want to participate in SPL, you must state your SPL ID when registering,

if you do NOT want to participate in the SPL, you can participate in the Pike Fight just as usual.

Hook is prohibited! All fish must be re-released!

Competition area:

Any fishing water within Gästrikland/Dalarna. The water must be open and accessible to

the public. NO PRIVATE WATERS.

The participants themselves are responsible for having a valid fishing license in the water being fished and for following the water's rules.

Fishing without a fishing license leads to exclusion.

Measuring and reporting fish:

Pikes over 75 cm are approved to be measured and the sum of the team's 4 longest pikes is added together

to a total sum. The pikes are reported to the competition app.

The pikes must be measured on a horizontal board and the tail fin must not be pinched together.

Recaptured pike are NOT approved

Result update:

Results are reported continuously via the App, results are reported live via Gäddfighten's website.

After 2pm, the live update will be kept secret until the award ceremony.

However, the teams continue to report throughout the competition.

If teams end up with the same final result, the biggest fish is counted, then second fish, etc.

If the length of the longest fish is equal, the person who reported the fish caught first wins.

Prices:

Prizes are awarded to teams 1-3

Teams 1-5 win the opportunity to pre-register for the upcoming pike fight competition.

After the competition:

Everyone must return as usual to return the measuring board. IMPORTANT that the measuring board is thoroughly cleaned on both sides.

Contrary to usual, we then want to have as few participants as possible at the award ceremony, therefore we will publish the final result immediately after the competition has ended so that only the top 3 and the participant with the longest fish of the competition stay for the award ceremony.
