All fish must be caught from your kayak, canoe or SUP. You are not permitted to leave your kayak to fish from shore or wade.You may fish anywhere within the event boundaries that you are legally allowed to enter. For online events, this includes any province that is specifically stated in that event's description.

Tournament start times will begin at 6:00am on the first day, and end at 7:00pm the final day. All photo submissions must be made by the closing time on the final day of the tournament.5. Scoring
Challenger’s photos will be judged and scored by a panel designated by the tournament Directors and may include the tournament directors.
Photos that do not meet the requirements will not be counted.
Measured length should be clearly visible. All fish will be scored by 1⁄4” (one quarter inch) increments, rounded down. IE, if a fish in 18 and ⅛ inches long, the fish will be scored as 18 inches. If it is at 18 ¼ inches the fish will be scored as 18.25 inches.
Submission lengths will be rounded down to the nearest ¼. Lengths will never be rounded up.
Should the length of a fish submission exceed the length of the measuring device, the maximum visible measurement on the board will be used as the score.
The Tournament organisers will be solely responsible and retain the right to declare any photo as unacceptable
Photos will not be altered from their original state before submission. This includes the file name, timestamp,gps information and other metadata recorded by your device. If the original filename, timestamp or metadata information is suspect in any way the photo will be deemed unacceptable for scoring.
In all submission photos the fish entered must appear to be fresh and free of any obvious mutilation or mishandling. If two fish of the same length are submitted they must show evident signs of distinction
The measuring device used will display a numerical inch marking that is clearly visible, a black line where the bumper meets the board, and will have a sticker or marked “x” on the bumper.
Images that are blurry, out of focus, under/over exposed or otherwise difficult to accurately score will be disqualified.
Each event will be associated with a unique identifier. This identifier MUST be fully visible AND legible in each submission photo.
Event Identifiers for some events will be subject to change on a weekly basis as deemed by the tournament organisers. When a tournament ID is updated, communication will be sent via iAngler to all registered anglers to the email and/or phone numbers they used to register. It is the anglers responsibility to ensure they are using the correct Event Identifier.
Initial event identifiers will be issued NO LATER THAN 10:00pm the night before the first day of an event for pre-registered participants. Those who register after the event start date will be assigned identifiers after registration has been confirmed.
Anglers are allowed to submit as many entries as they wish throughout the duration of the event.
The 5 (five) submissions with the longest verified lengths will be used to tally each angler's final score.
The longest virtual stringer will be awarded 1st place and so on.
