The rules are simple, the prizes spectacular
- All conkers and string will be provided on site, no need to bring your vinegar soaked super solid conkers ;)
- The competition will be strictly on a knockout basis until we have two players left, there can be only one winner!
- The order of ‘who has first shot’ will be determined by coin toss.
- If a player deliberately moves their conker while waiting for it to be hit then the other player will be allowed another shot, everyone will also boo and hiss at you.
- Once a round is completed the winner can either retain their winning conker for the next round or choose a fresh weapon.
- In the event of both conkers breaking at the same time the round will be awarded to the ‘swinger’ and a new conker can be taken.
- Safety gear will be provided for those of a nervous or weak disposition.
- The umpire's decision is final.
