Default International rules

Can you please help me, what are the international rules for flies. I want to tie flies that comply with these.

Cheers

15/16s of an inch overall size of fly and 5/8s of an inch for hook size.
Hooks are normally size 10 maximum but the size 8 B160 buzzer hooks are size.
You can find all the rules on International Fly Fishing Association or SANACC

"Flies may be dressed on single or double hooks; tandem flies are not permitted. In the case of a double hook, the angle between the bends shall not exceed 90 degrees and, when viewed from the side, the bends must lie one behind the other. No fly shall be artificially weighted. No more than 4 flies, only one of which may be dressed on a double hook, may be mounted on a cast and flies must be at least 20 inches apart. Hooks may not measure more than five-eighths of an inch overall, including the eye. The overall length of the fly may not exceed fifteen-sixteenths of an inch. Suspected illegal flies should be put into an envelope and signed over the seal by the angler/boat partner/boatman. The envelope should be presented to a Match Official at the end of the competition. Attractor chemicals and light emitters may not be used on flies."

Am a little curios and would like to ask you why you wish to tie flies to International rules?

Cheers

Loopy,
Looking at doing a bit of competition fishing next season. So thought I would tie my own flies for this.
