Rules of the Competition

We have had a number of queries about how the Boxbeck Football World Cup 2010 Beer Competition works. Well it's quite simple really.... In the Group Stages the beer competition will scrupulously follow the football competition.

On Friday South Africa play Mexico and Uruguay play France. Ali and I will open a bottle of Castle and a bottle of Bohemia. We will pour an inch or so from each bottle into a separate glass. We will examine them carefully for colour and clarity. We will inhale the aroma from each glass. We will then swirl the glass and take a good mouthful. Then the moment of truth... We will each award a score of 0-5 to each bottle. We will then follow suit with a bottle of Patagonia and a bottle of Kronenbourg. If we cannot reach agreement on any of the scores an average will be taken (rounded upwards). The scores will then be entered on the Official Boxbeck Football World Cup 2010 Beer Competition Score Sheet.

It is quite possible (as in the football competition) that there may be a no score draw, but our fingers are firmly crossed for a high-scoring competition for the 2010 World Cup!

The knock out stage of the Competition may be a different story and the Beer results may well diverge from the Football results leading to possible confusion for the uninformed.

Enough for now and more to come..................
