RULES AND SCORING
The idea is to leave a clean plate, and this must be achieved at the table - no takeouts are allowed. 'Squirrelling' could result in expulsion. Barfing means a straight zero for that session. Please try to contain it to the bog or outside the shop. Points are awarded per portion as follows:
- Eels = 4 points
- Pie = 4 points
- Mash = 3 points (in some shops, one portion is two 'scoops' or 'scrapes')
- Afters = 2 points (this could be fruit pie and custard, but if you eat the pie and leave the custard you will be penalized)
- Liquor = 1 point
If you leave a portion, you will not only NOT SCORE for that item, but you will also be penalised by the corresponding amount of points.
- For example, say you order 1 eel, 2 pies, 2 mash and 1 liquor and finish it all, you would score: (1x4)+(2x4)+(2x3)+(1x1) = 19
- But, if you leave a bit of mash and some liquor, you would score: (1x4)+(2x4)+(0x3)+(-1x1) = 11
- Or, if you leave some eels: (-1x4)+(2x4)+(2x3)+(1x1) = 11
No points are awarded for cups of tea, fizzy drinks, exotic condiments, confectionery, etc. Under very exceptional circumstances, you may be able to score from a remote location on the day of a meeting. criteria as follows:
- You must provide the club with a least a week's notice.
- The venue must be a pukka pie and mash retail outlet.
- You must provide the club with photographic evidence plus an itemized bill, authenticated and signed by a member of staff.
