general competition rules.
*The organizer sets up a captain's meeting before the competition where at least one person from each team must
attend. There is a review of today's competition area, competition rules, sea rules, conservation zones,
prohibition zones and competition time, etc.
*The anglers recommend that all competitions be run as C&R where all caught are perch
immediately, after capture and documentation, released again in a way that is gentle on the fish. The smallest
minimum size is recommended at 25 cm, but the organizer determines the minimum size that is considered appropriate
for current competition.
**For competitions where swamping is allowed, the sump must have a volume of 50 liters or more. Maximum five
Perches may be in the sump at the same time and it is permitted to change fish in the sump during the competition
walk. In this type of competition, the fish must be weighed. Dead fish or one showing obvious signs
on ill health must not be weighed. In this type of competition, weighing in must be done as quickly and gently as possible
possible after the boat has arrived in port and the fish must be returned with the greatest consideration.

centimeters are rounded down. The measuring board must be placed flat and horizontal and the tail fin may be adjusted
