The results of a fishing competition are determined by the sum of points for three categories (float fishing, feeder fishing, spinning fishing). In each category, three first places, three second places, three third places, etc., are awarded. First place gives 1 point, second place gives 2 points, and so on (the fewer the points, the better the result). What is the lowest place a participant could take if they placed first in float fishing, second in feeder fishing, and third in spinning fishing?
