The cord diameter is at least 0.20 mm. Any rod with a maximum length of 2.50 m is used as a rod. The casting disciplines are carried out on a lawn (sports field). The lane width is 20 m.
Target throw
The target throw consists of ten throws on the Arenberg cloth . It starts with five throws from a distance of 10 meters, followed by five throws from a distance of 15 meters. The throwing style is arbitrary.

Three long-distance throws are made from the 15-meter starting board in a 20 m wide lane. The furthest throw is scored, with the same rod as the target throw.
Yeast fishing / match fishing
