22.1. Before the assignment of beats to competitors, all beats and buffer zones must be clearly defined (if possible by GPS coordinates) and should not be altered during the competition.

22.2. The Computer Draw for beat assignment: The FIPS-Mouche computer program, on the secure computer, shall be used to determine the beats/boat numbers assigned to each competitor. The beat of each competitor must be determined by the random draw computer program. Once checked by the Senior FIPS-Mouche Representative, this draw will be locked and secured. The random draw is designed to ensure that anglers from the same team will not fish any beat in any sector more than once, nor, if
mathematically possible, an adjacent beat (with exception of sub sessions).

22.3. The random draw for boat assignment for each competitor must be decided by a the computerized draw, which must minimize the frequency, ideally to nil, with which competitors from the same country will fish (throughout the sessions during the competition) in the same “boat number” during the championship.

22.4. The random draw at the Captains’ Meeting:
a) At the Captain’s Meeting each Captain shall draw a “Country Number” and a “Group Letter” (colour coded) for each competitor: “A, B, C, D, E”.(A=yellow, B=red, C= Green, D= blue and E=purple). A Group list for each Group shall be given to each Captain immediately after the meeting. Once checked by the Senior FIPS-Mouche Representative this draw will be locked and secured.
b) First, the Captain of each team will draw a number to select the team number for the country.
c) Then each Captain will draw a Group letter: “A, B, C, (D or E)” to assign each of the team members to a Group, who will then fish together in each sector and form the basis for placings. Other methods of completing the random draw are acceptable if authorised by the Senior FIPS-Mouche Representative.
d) The beat/boat assignment numbers will be kept confidential before the competition sessions, and sealed in the envelopes held by the Senior FIPS-Mouche Representative or his designate.
e) These envelopes will be then carried by the International Supervisors travelling with their respective groups to the sectors. For boat competition sessions theenvelopes will be carried by the sector judge or designated representative in charge of the bus travelling to the venue.
f) The beat/boat assignment numbers will be announced only upon arrival at the sectors by the Sector Judge, his designated representative or the FIPS-Mouche International Supervisor.

21.1. Before the assignment of beats to competitors, all beats and buffer zones must be clearly defined (if possible by GPS coordinates) and should not be altered during the competition.

21.2. The Computer Draw for beat assignment: The SAFFA computer program, on the secure computer, shall be used to determine the beats/boat numbers assigned to each competitor. The beat of each competitor must be determined by the random draw computer program. Once checked by the SAFFA Representative, this draw will be locked and secured. The random draw is designed to ensure that anglers from the same team will not fish any beat in any sector more than once, nor, if mathematically possible, an adjacent beat (with exception of sub sessions).

21.3. The random draw for boat assignment for each competitor must be decided by a computerized draw, which must minimize the frequency, ideally to nil, with which competitors from the same country will fish (throughout the sessions during the competition) in the same “boat number” during the championship.

21.4. The random draw at the Captain’s Meeting:
21.4.1. At the Captain’s Meeting each Captain shall draw a “Province Number” and a “Group Letter” (colour coded) for each competitor: “A, B, C, D, E”. (A=yellow, B=red, C= Green, D= blue and E=purple). A Group list for each Group shall be given to each Captain immediately after the meeting. Once checked by the Senior SAFFA Representative this draw will be locked and secured.
21.4.2. First, the Captain of each team will draw a number to select the team number for the Province.
21.4.3. Then each Captain will draw a Group letter: “A, B, C, (D or E)” to assign each of the team members to a Group, who will then fish together in each sector and form the basis for placings. Other methods of completing the random draw are acceptable if authorized by the Senior SAFFA Representative.
21.4.4. The beat/boat assignment numbers will be kept confidential before the competition sessions and sealed in the envelopes held by the Senior SAFFA Representative or his designate.
21.4.5. These envelopes will then be carried by the Sector Judge travelling with their respective groups to the sectors.
21.4.6. The beat/boat assignment numbers will be announced only upon arrival at the sectors by the Sector Judge or his designated representative.

21.5. The boat for each competitor must be decided by a draw, which must minimize the frequency, ideally to nil, with which competitors from the same province fish together in the same boat during the championship.
