== How to Check Your Event Points ==

Once the event begins, click Self/Special/Events.../Show My Fishing Statistics to see your points. 
[[File:Checking_Score_for_Fishing_Event.jpg|1000px]]

NOTE: You probably need to catch more than one or two fish to gain points and be an official Participant. Check your points during the event to make sure you have some.

== How Points are Accrued ==

* Most fish counts all fish caught by debens.
* Biggest fish caught is from all types of fish with the highest deben fish.
* Biggest WhateverFish is the largest of that type fish caught by debens.
* Most WhateverFish adds up all the debens of that type fish caught.

Note: The old timey fish (Abdju, Carp, Catfish and Perch) have pretty standard smaller sizes compared to the newer seasonal fish that come in a larger range of sizes. More specific lures, times of day/night and locations in Egypt show a high variety of sizes in the newer seasonal fish also.

== Winners' Reports ==

The Winners' list is automatically posted in the Events chat.
