Fish Ranking

What is Fish Ranking?
Fish Ranking is a contest held periodically by the Fishermen's Guild. Participants compete based on a set of defined rules regarding the size and weight of a certain big fish.

To participate you must acquire the fish we specified for the contest and bring it here. We won't look over your shoulder to see if you're catching your fish or buying them. That's your personal decision.

You can only have one fish entered for Fish Ranking at once. You can choose to overwrite your current entry with a new catch, but you won't be able to reregister your previous submission.

We will announce the results after the submission period ends. The top ten entries will receive a modest award and prize money, as well as a new title.

Explain the Rules
Fish are judged based on a set of predetermined rules.

The rules are simple. All fish are inscribed with their size (Im) and weight (Pz). The contest may be judged on either number, or even both values added together.

Depending on the rules, the person who caught the fish with the lowest or the greatest value wins!

Value is determined by the calculation of "points" and evaluated based on the contest rules. For example, when the rules designate the "smallest fish," the person with the fewest points will win.

During the submission period, I will inform everyone what criterion we are judging by, so just ask if you're curious!

How to Register
If you would like to submit an entry, please trade the fish specified for the contest to me, and I will give a rough inspection.

The fish will be registered if I deem it is suitable for the contest. You may ony have one fish registered at a time. Registering a second specimen will remove your previous submission from the entry database.

After you pay the registration fee, I will return your fish to you. All that's left afterwards is to wait for teh results.

To ensure a fair contest, we will label your fish before returning it.

This will not affect the fish other than disqualifying it from reentry in Fish Ranking. You can still cook the fish, sell it at auction, or use it for quests.

Viewing Results
After the submission period ends, the results will be announced. To view teh ranking board, just speak to me.

Anybody may view the ranking board. You'll especially want to check if you or a friend participated in the last contest. Perhaps one of you will be listed on the board, too!

Awards
The top ten contestants will receive a modest award consisting of prize money from the Fishermen's Guild and a new title.

In addition, participants in the top twenty will receive a Pelican Ring as a souvenir.

You may only receive your award while the results are being announced, so be sure that you are here on time!
