The different species gives different points. All salmon-related species as well as pike gives 3 “specie-points” and all other species gives one “specie -point”. The score a member receives for a catch is calculated by multiplying the “specie-points” with the position within a class. For the first position within a specie-class, 3 points is received. For the second position, 2 points is received and for the third position, one point. Only the top 3 positions within each specie-class are included in EFC. But it could of course happen that it will be ties with a class if there are several catches done with the same weight of the fish. As an example of the calculation of the score, a first position within the trout-class gives 9 points and a third position within the bleak-class gives one point.

We also have an ongoing contest for all the years accumulated within Elmer, a so called All-Time-High contest. To have a position within the All-Time-High table has now become extremely important and something all of us within Elmer fights hard for! But now a day it is very hard to catch a fish that will be qualified for the All-Time-High table…
