2 substitute players allowed.
Round 1 matchups will be drawn randomly.
Winners advance to the next round of the bracket.
2. Map Selection Rules
- Each match includes 2 maps chosen by the team and 2 maps chosen by the opposing team, following the standard EM League / Finnish Championship model.
- For rounds 1, 2, and the medal round, the team that starts the map selection will be chosen by the organizer.
3. Map Restrictions and Scoring
- Each lake may be selected only once during the entire tournament.
- One map per round must be a special map (weight formats), and the other must be a classic/normal map.
- No point scoring is used; teams compete based on total catch weight (g).
Pro Pilkki 2 automatically calculates team results in kilograms vs kilograms.
For tournament purposes, teams must take
screenshots of the results to speed up verification.
The
home team (the team that starts the map selection) is responsible for capturing the screenshot.
The organizer recommends using the Windows
Snipping Tool (search “snipping tool” in Windows).
All played maps will be listed in a shared table for all teams.

Detailed information
Only zander, pike, perch, carp family, trout,
3 biggest and 5 biggest are fine to play. They are threated as a special map.
Only burbot choices are threated also as a special map.
Two modes of lake choices need to be made forbidden:
Rönttäoja 1,4,3 only burbot (not possible to get any fish, a bug)
and Kuikansalmi, winter and spring 2/3,*,3 only trout (Unsure to any player catch a any weight).
If some tournament information need to made more detailed it will be done.
I will mention playlogs - basically tournament will be calculated quite simply.
If any problem appears, the results need to be reviewed from playlogs
