Rules for the Match Angler of the Year

  1. Matches, which will be a mixture of pegged down and roving matches, will be fished on a variety of Society waters for 1 year starting on March 16th each year.
  2. The timings for the matches will be posted upon the Society website.
  3. At the end of each match, points will be awarded to every angler that weighs in.
  4. The number of points will vary depending upon the number of competitors in each individual match. If 10 members fish, then the winner will be awarded 10 points, runner up 9, 3rd place 8 and so on. If only 4 members fish, then the points will be 4 to the winner and so on. To encourage anglers to participate, an additional bonus point will be awarded to all who participate.
  5. As most members will be unable to fish all matches and, in an effort, to make it a fairer competition, of the 13 matches that are currently scheduled, only the best 11 results will count towards a member’s final score.
  6. The Competition will consist of the standard matches plus the Xmas match but not the Officers and Bailiffs match or Tony Paul Memorial match.
  7. The standard Society matches will be free to enter but there will be an optional £2 winner-takes-all pool.
  8. A full set of Society match rules can be found on the Match Fixtures web page.
