LEADERBOARD
BROUGHT TO YOU BY
We have created an online event website that will show real-time data for the event.
Here is how it will work:
- Angler catches the fish and decides whether or not to weigh it.
- Angler secures fish in an acceptable manner to preserve life and wellness (we recommend a cooler with an aerator, fish grippers to hold the fish in the hole, or drilling your own trench with water).
- Angler logs in to the website and completes the “register your fish” section. Here it will request your name, phone number and location for the weigh team to come to you. It is also programmed to timestamp your catch so that if the weigh team doesn’t make it to you within the hour, you are still eligible to enter within your hour (download what 3 words app for free, and we are able to locate you within 2 meters of your spot, this will make weigh-in faster).
- Once the weigh team comes to you and the fish is verified, all results will be posted in real-time on the leaderboard.
- The hourly payouts for the morning will be awarded at lunch and the hourly payouts for the afternoon will be awarded at the end of the day.
