Each team will submit the results of their fishing outing to the League Coordinator (or designate) on a weekly basis on the form provided. Each fish caught will be measured in centimetres and listed by species and by team member. To allow a comparison of species for scoring purposes, a "fish length conversion table" developed by Manitoba Water Stewardship, Fisheries Branch will be used by the League Coordinator. The table will also be available to all teams and coaches. After conversion, one point will be rewarded for each converted centimetre of fish caught. All catches by all team members will be reported but the catches of the best six team members will be used for the basic calculation. Each team member may enter four fish of each species per session and eligible species will be listed on the conversion charts. The best five weekly scores out of the six weeks fished will be used to determine the final team standings.
Bonus points will be rewarded for the following;
Team Bonus:
- 300 points if all eight members attend and fish.
- 200 points if all team members catch at least one fish.
- 150 points if three or more species are caught during the same session.
- 500 points for any team that catches six or more different species over the course of the season.
Individual Bonus:
- 100 points if three or more species are caught by any one team member.
- 100 points for any Master Angler Award registered fish. Master Angler rules and forms will be provided.
Teams will be encouraged to develop skills related to angling such as fish identification, fish cleaning and preparation, care of equipment, knot tying, casting, understanding of basic regulations and water safety to name a few. Anglers may keep their catch to eat. However, fish should only be kept if it is certain that they will be eaten and not wasted. All Manitoba Angling Regulations will apply. Failure to comply with regulations will result in the suspension of the team.
The team with the highest points at the end of the season will be declared Top Fishheads of 2010 and the top individual will be declared the league MVP. Participants will be able to watch the progress of other teams and individuals and contact the League Coordinator for information.
