The event will be held over 3 days in between 09.00 and 18.00 each day. The venue will be divided into 3 zones and competitors will fish in a different zone each day. There will be a draw on the first night by the competitors to see the zone order that they will be fishing followed by a draw for the peg they will fish on the first day. Every evening competitors will be invited to gather back for a friendly gathering around a meal and a side event. At 21:15 the day's results will be announced with the captor of the biggest Catfish being crowned King Cat and the leaders being presented with the leaders t-shirts. There will then be a peg draw for the following day. Competitors will already know which zone they will be fishing next but not the peg, so there will be a lot of interest to see what has been caught in the new peg drawn. The same will be repeated over the 3 days with the final day being the Champions' Dinner and the trophy presentation. The winners will be the captors of the greatest weight of catfish over the 3 days.
