EVENTS
Both Salmon and Sturgeon events are Unisex Open.
INDIVIDUAL: Individual medals will be awarded in each category
(salmon or sturgeon) judged by the longest aggregate catch
of all fish caught by the angler.
SCORING
For tournament purposes, the size of the fish will be determined
by its overall length with the cumulative length of all
fish being considered the largest. The overall length of
the fish is the distance in centimetres between the tip
of the nose and the fork of the tail with the easuring tape
following the middle of the fish. All salmon and sturgeon
will be measured by both length and girth. The girth is
the measurement around the body of the fish at its largest
point excluding the fins. Note: In the event that there
is a tie in the overall length of a winning fish the largest
girth will determine the winner. All measurements will be
done by one of the official tournament guides. In the unlikely
event that there is a tie in both length and girth multiple
winners will be declared.
INDIVIDUAL EVENT: The participant
whose fish (Sturgeon or Salmon) caught throughout the day
combine to the longest score will be the winner.
TEAM EVENT: The team of
two whose fish (Sturgeon or Salmon) caught throughout the
day by both participants combine to the longest score will
be the winner.
“CATCH OF THE DAY” EVENT:
The catch of the day will be the single longest
fish caught in each event (Salmon and Sturgeon). The Sturgeon
catch of the day will be awarded to the entire team that
lands the fish. It will not count towards any one individual
or team’s combined length in the other events. Participants
can medal only once for the Catch of the Day, for example,
if one angler catches three fish that would qualify as the
top three fish caught, he/she will only be awarded one (gold)
medal. The next longest fish would be considered as the
silver medal catch.
The score of any team member disqualified
shall not be included in any team score. Competition will
be organized as a one day per species tournament. Competitors
fish for each species (Salmon or Sturgeon) only once. Their
catch is scored for both the Individual and Team events.
