CLUB COMPETITION AND CURRENT LEADER BOARDS

For fish to be eligible for the MCFC leader board or angler of the year they must meet the following criteria:

• The angler must be a current financial member at the time of capture.
• The fish must be caught in accordance with any NZSFC rules or club rules and MAF regulations at the time of capture.
• Acceptable methods of capture are line fishing (rod & reel or hand line) and spear fishing (free diving only).

ANGLER OF THE YEAR

Angler of the year (AOTY) is an annual contest, run from July 1st-June 30th every year.  Anglers/spearos/Juniors can weigh in fish (species as per our weighboard) on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday to count for the AOTY, fish weighed any other day do not count toward AOTY points but are still eligable for the other yearly competition.

Each fish weighed will earn 100pts and 10 points per kilogram up to a maximum 8kg (maximum points for a single fish is 180pts), points are for your best fish weighed of each species during the year, so you can upgrade your points with a larger fish weighed as the season progresses. Only your best scoring fish for each species will count towards the overall total.

The highest aggregate points total for these 8 species wins the prize.
