Read The Rules / Guidelines Underneath.


1) You must be aged 18+ to take part in this competition as it requires purchasing alcohol.

2) Each week (Sunday - Sunday) you take a picture of your beer of choice for that weeks chosen subject. The picture must include OcUK BOTW mk.4 ie. this forum backgound including picture above or written on something beside the beer. ANY pics entered without it will NOT count.

3) ONLY one picture containing ONE beer or cider depending on which round (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 of the beer taps!

4) You may send your picture into the competition email address from the Sunday night right up until the Sunday but the email MUST be in the inbox by 8.00pm of each Sunday night (anything after this time will NOT count).

5) The picture will be sent via the competition email address. The first email sent each week will be the one entered into the competition ie. NO changing your mind!

6) Multiple emails from a single person will NOT be accepted UNLESS prior notice has been given for say, going on holiday. If doing so you MUST send them marked for each week.

7) Any Voting shall be from the Sunday / Sunday and must be completed by Wednesday. Any tie will be decided by the joint choices being drawn from a hat.

8) Important! - POINTS will be awarded simply three points for a correct unique entry, two points for a beer that two people have and one point for everyone else that has a valid entry. Size of bottle or can will make no difference BUT say a 'Light / Lite' version will.

9) The Winner will be the person with the highest score whenever we finish, any draws will be decided by count back (first one to drop a point from A)

10) Jester Card, all participants are entitled to play a Jester card once and once only per competition, if you wish to play your Jester please structure your email header something along the lines of "BOTW MK4 A is for Asia Jetser Played" Jester will award double points in any round. Jester card can be played in scrabble round.

11) Please resize your pictures so that they are OCUK forum friendly and the right way up pleeeeeeeeeease :)

12) Moaning - if you don't like something express it constructively with alternatives. Like 'just a minute' points will be deducted for incorrect challenges.

Z. Oh and remember this is all about having some fun and enjoying different types of beer and cider. Cheers
