Conker Game Rules - Ali style

[Ali]

I had written:

> My husband had a conker competition at work this week (he was 
> knocked out in the first round!). But it was considered cheating 
to bake a conker in the oven, soak it in vinegar or even use a 
battle-hardened one from previous years.

Well, here are the rules:


<<<The Fifth Annual Met. Dept. Conkers Tournament: Conkertition 2004

The Rules

Paper/scissors/stone to determine who starts 
Keep hitting until you miss 
Strings=miss 
No stampsies. Be nice. Well, be a bit nice. 
No performance enhancing substances, for player or conker. 
This year's conkers only 
Full body armour must be worn for all games. >>>

I can't believe they used scissors/stone/paper to decide who 
started. But then again, I was surprised that they were playing 
conkers at all. Tim is trying to tell me it's a cultural experience 
for all the international students. I believe that it's them all 
acting out the part of mad scientists!
