Although a team event you will enter as an individual and compete as an individual. The team you will be allocated to will be via a 'live' draw in the days leading up to the event.

How and where teams fish will be decided by each team. Travelling to fish as a team is optional and up to each individual.

Basic rules

• 1 point per individual species caught per team/individual, plus 1 bonus point for the biggest specimen of each species caught throughout the week.
• The winning team/individual is the one with most points.
• In the event of a points tie, the team/individual with the most species caught is the winner.
• If there is still a tie then the fish that is the best specimen, ie, has the biggest proportion by weight of current national (BRFC) record will decide the overall winner!
• All competitors must be registered members of FishingMagic.com. Membership of FishingMagic is totally free - full details.
• All fish to be photographed showing evidence that they were caught within the above dates. Acceptable evidence is to print off the Fishingmagic certificate of entry and ensure this is visible on any photo, or display some reference to the fishing race on the photo or a newspaper from that week, etc.
