Where, who, what, how?

The contest took place in teams of two fishermen, from a boat, to predatory fish, in the Danube Delta on a radius of 25km around Crisan, for two days, the host of the event being Lebada Resort. For the first time in Romania and in the Danube Delta, all four representative species of predators, pike, pikeperch, avat and perch, scored in a simple and efficient system, catch & photo / video & release (catch, photograph, film, release) so that all fish caught immediately returning unharmed and unharmed to their natural environment.

Predator Challenge application

All this being possible by using an application on the phone, developed especially for this competition, Predator Challenge, an application available on IOS and Android. All boats are equipped with an organizer with GPS systems with the help of Nexus, for monitoring in case of emergencies or exceeding the competition perimeter by competitors.

The refereeing system, another first, was simple thanks to the Predator Challenge application. The 10 largest fish caught in the two days of the species scored: pike - 40 cm, pike - 40 cm, avat - 30 cm, perch - 20 cm. The ranking was made in the order of the total centimeters accumulated in the two rounds, from a maximum of 10 fish, 1 centimeter = 1 point. Each extra dotted species (avat, pikeperch, perch, pike) received a bonus of 100 points. Bonuses were awarded after the team had 10 approved scoreable fish of the four species. The ranking was made in the order of the total centimeters accumulated in the two rounds, from a maximum of 10 fish, each cm representing 1 point. The fish were measured on the ruler provided by the organizer, photographed in the position indicated on the ruler, and the photographs were sent in real time on the application / website of the contest for validation.

Real time ranking

Also in real time, the ranking could be viewed by any user of the application. In addition, as an extra precaution, all teams aiming to occupy seats 1,2,3, had the obligation to shoot nonstop from the boat of the two rounds. As the competition was conceived, in order to occupy a leading place in the ranking, the adaptation of the fishermen in catching the four species on the most generous competition track as a perimeter, the Danube Delta, prevailed. Teams with old states in competitive fishing realized quite quickly that avat will be the winner in accumulating points, given that the pike did not show its tail this year in the Delta, the perch were only meant to bring bonus points , and the salaries refused to collaborate in decisive numbers.
