Moving on to the scoring / points system.
I will be changing it ever so slightly from previous competitions. In the past this has been the cause for some confusion, I expect this confusion to continue...
For maximum points (without the aid of the Jester* card), you will have entered an unique beer ie. for the round in question, the beer will be a valid entry and no one else will have entered it. This applies for all rounds except for the reverse round**...
Scoring:
Unique entry = 4 points
3rd least popular choice = 3 points
2nd least popular choice = 2 points
Most popular entry = 1 point
With every valid entry there will be the addition of 1 point. The above scoring would then become 5, 4, 3, 2 and possibly a single point if you are unlucky enough to fall into say the 4th least popular choice. It carries zero scoring so you would therefore only receive a single point for a valid entry.
Popular Choices
This is broken down into groups. These groups will vary in size hence the popular rating / scoring. Say we have four groups, A,B,C and D. A has 2 entries the same, B has 3, C has 5 and D has 4. The scoring would then be:
Group A - 3rd least popular = 3pts + 1 valid entry point = 4 points
Group B - 2nd least popular = 2pts + 1 valid entry point = 3 points
Group C - Most popular = 1pt + 1 valid entry point = 2 points
Group D - 4th least popular = 0pts + 1 valid entry point = 1 point.
The Jester*
To stand the chance of boosting your round score, you may at any time play your Jester. This can only be used once and must be clearly be stated with the email entry. Any score received during the round will be doubled.
The Reverse Round**
The object of this round is to attempt and select the beer you think everyone else will enter. For this round only, the scoring is also reversed ie. most popular choice carries maximum points.
Any questions, then please for the love of all that is Holy, shout out now....
The Rules
1) You must be aged 18+ to take part in this competition as it requires purchasing alcohol.
2) Each week you enter a picture of your beer of choice for that weeks chosen theme. The picture must include a note with the words 'OcUK BOTW Last Orders' written on it, this should be beside the beer can, bottle or bar taps. ANY pics entered without it will NOT count.
3) ONLY one picture containing ONE beer (in bottle or can form) may be entered per week. Homebrew is NOT allowed BUT Tap / Draught beer is allowed ONLY while including a picture with the beer taps!
4) You may send your picture into the competition email address right up until the Saturday before the 'Results' thread is posted on the Sunday night at 8pm. Any email MUST be in the inbox by 8pm of each Saturday night (anything after this time will NOT count). This is to allow time to compile pictures, check entries etc.
5) Any entries sent in MUST be clearly marked for each week. ie. Week A, B, etc. Please do not include any beer names in the email subject/title, I'm playing too! Make sure each week is a separate email, no multiple entries attached in one email!
6) Jester card - When you decide to play your Jester card, make sure you state this within the email or email subject. If it's not stated, it will not count.
7) It would be greatly appreciated if all images are within forum rules, max width 1280 pixels. or smaller. Thank you
8) At the end of the competition the winner will be the person with the highest score. If drawn, it will be decided by count back (first one to drop a point from A onwards is out).
9) Remember, this is about trying new beers, having a laugh and a bit of fun. Enjoy it and enjoy the banter too. Good Luck all!
