The competition will be run on a 48hr-eliminator competition where anglers compete for top position and prizes.

Competitors must arrive and register themselves no later than 9.45am on the morning of the draw.
Competitors must attend the draw in person which will take place in the event Head Quarters at 10am on the morning of the competition.
The allocation of swims will be by way of a watercraft peg/swim draw. The team name of each competing pair will be placed into the draw and then all teams will be allocated a swim by watercraft draw only. The swims will be pre-numbered prior to the draw and anglers will be allowed onto the venue prior to the draw to allow for researching of the swims.
The draw for swims will commence at 10am on the day of the competition. Competitors must register by 9.45am and any pair not having at least one member present at the start of the draw will be excluded from the competition. No refunds will be given.
The competition will commence at 11am (aprox) on Fri 23rd may 2008
The decision of the draw master is final. Once a swim number has been drawn by the organisers and chosen by the competitors the choice is deemed final.
Each competitor must set up his rods and accommodation no further than three metres from his/her peg marker unless otherwise authorised by the officials. Competitors must not cast outside the limits of their swim, such limit to be marked by an imaginary line marking the middle distance between his and his neighbours peg marker. Any disputes as to the competitors casting outside the area must be reported immediately to the marshals. Marshals have the discretion to request that competitors re-cast their rods as and when directed and such request must be complied with.
At the sound of the first horn competitors may commence plumbing and baiting of the swims. One hour later upon hearing the horn sound twice anglers may cast in their baited hooks.
There will be no baiting up by any means other than hand/throwing stick/bait rocket or catapult. Free Baits may be attached by PVA to the rig. Wading or swimming to bait up will not be permitted.
Competitors will be permitted to use a maximum of four rods per pair and must cast and bait their own rods, and play, land and unhook their own fish. No assistance shall be allowed from any person other than a member of that competitors pair.
All fish caught must be reported as soon as possible to the marshals.
Each fish must be witnessed by at least 1 marshal and one competitor (other than the captor or his team mate).
Each fish must be weighed and (photographed if required) on the official equipment of the marshals or it may be excluded from the results. To prevent cheating please do not return fish to the water before they have been weighed

In the unlikely event of a Marshall being unable to immediately weigh and witness a captured fish it MUST be placed in a carp sack for holding until such a time as a marshal is available. The official weight will be that which is recorded by the marshal following weighing procedure by the officials using the official equipment.
Competitors are required to possess their own carp sacks as in the event of a multiple capture sacks will be required to hold fish until weighing. They will not be provided by the organisers.
Hooked fish should be landed without interfering with other competitor lines or they may be omitted from the final result. Any competitor who is aggrieved by another competitors hooked fish hitting his lines or disturbing his presentation must make a formal complaint to the marshals as soon as is reasonably practicable or in any case within 30 minutes. There will be an organisation appointed panel of judges before whom the complaint will be placed and who will make a decision as to whether to allow that fish to count in the final results. The judge's decision will be final.
Only officials, press, competitors and marshals are permitted to bivvy up on the banks or stay in the competition area after the hours of darkness unless authorised by the organisers.
The organisers retain the right to search all competitors tackle or vehicles to combat any form of cheating or rule breaking. Anglers found cheating will banned from the competition

The competition shall be decided on total weight with the pair having the greatest weight being declared the winners. In the event of a tie the pair with the most fish will be declared the winners. If the result is still tied the pair catching the biggest fish will be declared the winner. If there is still a tied position then the "fastest fish" rule applies and the angler that landed the fish first will be declared the winner.
In the event that an insufficient number of fish are caught during an eliminator to fill the places or that the fish caught still cause a tie breaker situation, the competitors shall take part in a "cast off" which shall involve a test of accurate casting.

Only Leather, Common, and Mirror Carp (cyprinus carpio) will count in the competition.
Should any competitor wish to leave their swim for any reason whatsoever they must ensure that their team mate holds the appropriate number of rod licences to allow the use of four rods. If the teammate does not hold such licence the competitor leaving the swim must reel their rods in and their baited hooks must be removed from the water.
Swimming and wading for any reason whatsoever is prohibited. Entering the water to a maximum distance of 3 metres from the peg marker is not considered to be wading
Boats and remote control bait boats are prohibited.
All lines must be cast into the water from the bank using a fishing rod and reel or pole. No other equipment will be permitted to assist the angler to cast.
Each line may only have one hook attached. For conservation purposes the organisers request that barbless or micro-barb hooks are used.
For a fish to count in the competition it must have been hooked squarely in the mouth. Foul hooked fish will be excluded and shall be returned to the water unregistered.
Each team shall be permitted to use up to four rods and baited hooks in the water at any time and have a further two rods in reserve set up and ready to use.
