Entries are now closed, we have our field for the season opener as we kick-off our 14th year of competition at Llangorse!
This year it’s a day of two halves, our MentorMatch in the morning and our SprintFish in the afternoon. Please find attached the Pairings for the MentorMatch, take this week to contact your partner and start your planning/strategy for Saturday.
Rules are simple, the same rules we always have for Llangorse, which will be published shortly. The difference is the points, the names to the right for each pair will get a 50% points bonus on qualifying fish ie you catch a 100cm pike, it will count as 150cm.
Several asked how we’d create these Pairs, and I’ve got to say we’ve TOTALLY geeked out here. We’ve used an Ai social media search engine, and a LLM to do the pairings for us. The pairings are weighted:
- 40% by Kayak fishing/fishing experience
- 40% by competition results
- 20% by previous Llangorse experience
The LLM looked at the result from 217 fishing competitions, not just kayak fishing, at which any of your names appeared. The engine gave everyone a rating based on experience, competition results and who’s fished llangorse before. We spent last night running through the pairs to check the output, we are really excited about this.
If you’d still like to join us please contact Ed, he’s spent the weekend completing the RAMS and method statement for you all, but we maybe able to squeeze you in - although we may not be able to guarantee a pairing.
See you all Saturday morning
