RULES
1. All Conkers and Strings are supplied. Strings must not be knotted further or tampered with 2. The game will commence with the toss of a coin, the winner may elect to strike or receive 3. A distance of no less than 8″ or 20cm of string must be between knuckle and nut 4. Each player takes three alternate strikes at the opponent’s conker 5. Each attempted strike must be clearly aimed at the nut, no deliberate miss hits 6. The game will be decided once one of the conkers is smashed 7. A small piece of nut or skin remaining shall be judged out, it must be enough to mount an attack 8. If both nuts smash at the same time the match shall be replayed 9. Any nut being knocked from the string but not smashed may be re-threaded10. A player causing a knotting of the strings (a snag) will be noted, three snags and you’re out 11.
