When you upload a catch, the app records a fairly accurate (Not accurate enough to pin-point your secret spot(s)) location, which will help the competition moderators assess whether your catch is valid or not.
Certified Scales Only
Any scale that has a Keepnet Competition approved sticker may be used to weigh fish in this competition. For example, if you currently fish the MLF Series in KZN, you may use the scale you are using for that series.

Strictly Catch & Release
Your catch video must clearly depict your fish swimming away in a healthy manner. Please use any means available to you to take good care of your fish and to resuscitate them if necessary before recording your catch video. The health of your fish will be at the discretion of the competition moderators based on the visuals available in your catch video.
Cheating
Anyone found or reported to be cheating and found guilty within reasonable doubt will be disqualified and banned from the competition indefinitely. The Keepnet.co head office will assist in determining whether a fish is submitted correctly or not. Please clarify any concerns with the competition moderators, should you have any concerns!
Registration & Payments
There is no cut-off date/time for registrations. You may enter the competition at any time during the competition dates. However, a payment must reflect 24 hours prior to an angler submitting a fish, so it is recommended that one registers and completes payment 48 hours prior.
