Količine za ovo natjecanje nisu limitirane. Ekipama je osigurano po 30 kg ješke za brumanje (srdele) jednake kvalitete prije početka dnevnog natjecanja (u sklopu kotizacije). Kupnja dodatnih količina bit će omogućena prije početka dnevnog natjecanja.

Domaćini-organizatori se obvezuju osigurati ekipama nabavku (kupnju) ješke za brumanje (srdele ili druge plave ribe) jednake kvalitete prije početka dnevnog natjecanja.

Pobjednici će se odrediti prema najvećem zbroju bodova ostvarenih u tri ribolovna dana. U slučaju nepovoljnog vremena za ribolov i nemogućnosti održavanja tri ribolovna dana rezultati ostvareni u održanim danima, proglasit će se kao konačni rezultati natjecanja.

Rangiranje ekipa s jednakim brojem bodova u dnevnom plasmanu izvršit će se prema vremenu važećeg ulova ribe (uzima se ranije vrijeme kačenja – odnosno prijave).

Rangiranje ekipa s jednakim brojem bodova nakon drugog i trećeg ribolovnog dana izvršit će se prema vremenu važećeg ulova ribe po danima (prednost imaju ekipe koje su ulovile u prvom danu pa drugom i na kraju trećem). Ako i nakon toga imamo ekipe s jednakim brojem bodova, prednost ima ekipa koja je u tom ribolovnom danu ostvarila bolji plasman.

1. Svako kačenje ribe, ekipa mora s – „riba na štapu“ prijaviti sudačkom brodu uz naznaku natjecateljskog broda, pozicije broda. navedeno je dužan upisati u Listu ulovljenih primjeraka. Voditelj je dužan upisati i javiti o puštanju ili izvlačenju ribe na brod (za tunu javiti i približnu težinu).Uvjetno produžavanje ribolovnog vremena propisano člankom 79. Pravilnika o provedbi u slučaju tzv. „kasnog kačenja ribe”, za ekipu će se produžiti 1 sat.
2. Količina DOZVOLJENOG ulova tune plavih peraja  rasporedit će se na tri ribolovna dana. U slučaju neispunjenja kvote predviđene za pojedini ribolovni dan ista se prenosi u slijedeći, a u slučaju prekoračenja kvote ista se oduzima od slijedećeg ribolovnog dana.O dnevnim kvotama, ekipe će se upoznati prilikom sastanka voditelja, a o izmjenama dnevnih kvota prilikom ovjera lista.
3. Do ispunjenja predviđene kvote dopušteno je zadržati jednu tunu po brodu dnevno. Glavni sudac natjecanja prati popunjavanje dnevne kvote i donosi odluku o stupanju na snagu pravila ”ulovi i pusti”. Svako naknadno izvlačenje tune na plovilo povlači diskvalifikaciju i zakonske sankcije.

The catch is verified by the Management by:

• checking and comparing the official competition documentation; List of caught specimens (captains of the teams enter) and Lists of catch reports (entered by the chief judge)
• reviewing the video recording of the catch, the catch and compliance with fishing rules according to the provisions of articles 88 and 89 of the Regulations are proved with the recorded material.

The team captain or an authorized member must bring the video recording and attend the viewing; if they do not, it is considered that they have withdrawn their catch report and they will not be awarded points. Recognized catches are awarded the corresponding points according to point 10 of these Rules. Catch verification will take place at the end of each fishing day at the specified time.

The competition is combined and according to Article 50 of the Regulations on the conduct, the following minimum distances between competing boats are prescribed:

• minimum distance laterally – 2 cables perpendicular to the direction of floating “wake line”,
• minimum distance in the wake – 0.5 NM in the direction of the “wake line spread”,
• a moving boat must respect the minimum distance from a floating boat, laterally and in the “wake line”,
• moving boats can approach each other laterally by a minimum of 1 cable, and 2 cables behind.

The behavior of teams (correct or incorrect) during fishing from a floating boat is regulated by articles 119 to 126, and if fishing from a moving boat, articles 127 to 134 of the Implementation Regulations apply. Fishing from a moving boat must be announced to the chief judge of the competition. In case of any misunderstandings, the final decision is made solely by the chief judge of the competition.

Quantities for this competition are not limited. Teams are provided with 30 kg of bait for chumming (sardines) of equal quality before the start of each daily competition (included in the entry fee). The purchase of additional quantities will be allowed before the start of each daily competition. The hosts-organizers undertake to provide teams with the purchase of chumming bait (sardines or other blue fish) of equal quality before the start of each daily competition. Teams acquire lures of their choice but in accordance with Article 42 of the Regulations. The use of artificial lures is allowed according to the provisions of Article 58 of the Regulations. During the competition, it is allowed to catch other fish species and use them whole or in part for lures or chumming, but using LIVE BAIT is prohibited.

Winners will be determined based on the highest total points scored over three fishing days. In case of unfavorable weather conditions for fishing and the impossibility of holding three fishing days, the results achieved on the days that were held will be declared as the final competition results. Teams with an equal number of points in the daily ranking will be ranked according to the time of the valid fish catch (the earlier time of hooking – or reporting is considered). Teams with an equal number of points after the second and third fishing days will be ranked according to the time of the valid fish catch per day (teams that caught on the first day, then the second, and finally the third have priority). If there are still teams with the same number of points, the team with a better placement in that fishing day will have an advantage.

1. Every fish catch must be reported to the referee boat with “fish on the hook” with an indication of the competition boat, the boat’s position. The team leader must record and report the release or retrieval of the fish on board (for tuna, also report the approximate weight). Conditionally extending the fishing time according to Article 79 of the Implementation Regulations in case of the so-called “late fish hooking”, the team will be granted an additional 1 hour.
2. The quota of ALLOWED bluefin tuna catch will be distributed over three fishing days. In case of not fulfilling the quota set for a particular fishing day, it will be carried over to the next one, and in case of exceeding the quota, it will be deducted from the following fishing day. Teams will be informed about the daily quotas at the team leaders’ meeting, and about changes in daily quotas during the roster verification.
3. Until the specified quota is reached, one tuna per boat per day is allowed to be kept. The chief judge of the competition monitors the filling of the daily quota and decides to implement the rule of “catch and release”. Any subsequent retrieval of tuna on the vessel results in disqualification and legal sanctions.
