Angler Guide

Welcome to DerbyFish. This guide covers everything you need to know about joining derbies and submitting catches.

Joining a Derby

There are two ways to join:

1. QR Code — Scan the QR code at a participating tackle shop

2. Direct Link — Visit derby.fish and browse available derbies

After selecting a derby, pay the entry fee (if applicable) and you are in.

Submitting a Catch

DerbyFish uses the BHRV verification system to ensure fair competition:

1. Bump Board — Place your fish on a measuring board and take a clear photo

2. Hero Shot — Take a photo of yourself holding the catch

3. Release Video — Record a short video of you releasing the fish

4. Verify — Submit through the app. AI verifies the species and blockchain timestamps the catch

Leaderboards

Live leaderboards update as catches are verified. Scoring depends on the derby rules:

• Biggest single fish

• Total weight

• Most fish caught

• Species variety

Prizes

When a derby ends, winners receive redemption codes via the app. Take your code to the hosting tackle shop to claim your prize.
