The following outlines the Rules of Operation Yelsnot - The Second Chapter. In summary, the competition winner will be the participant who attends the weirdest sporting event during the competition's duration.

GENERAL RULES

1. The entrants to this competition shall be the Judges of Operation Yelsnot - The First Chapter, namely the fathers of the members of the Tonsley Events Committee.

2. The winner shall be decided by the Panel of Judges, namely the members of the Tonsley Events Committee as the sons of the participants, on the "Tonsley Day of Reckoning" to be arranged by the Committee after the closing date.

3. The competition shall commence on the Sixth Day of March in the Year of Our Lord, Two Thousand and Five, following the Opening Dinner of Operation Yelsnot - The Second Chapter at which the participants shall receive their Tonsley Colours.

4. The competition shall run over the course of one year, closing at midnight on the Fifth Day of March in the Year of Our Lord, Two Thousand and Six.

5. The Judges reserve the right to amend the rules of the competition at any time over its course if they deem any such amendment to aid the modus operandi and general success of the competition as a whole. No participant shall be prejudiced by any such amendment and all entries submitted within one month of any such change will be considered under the rules existing at the time of the attendance at the event.

SUBMISSIONS

6. All entries must be submitted by post to the Judges within one month of attendance of the event. Entries failing to comply with this rule will be disregarded. The address for such submissions is: Tonsley Events, 9 Swan Hill Cottages, Aylesbury Road, Cuddington, Buckinghamshire, HP18 0BE. Participants are encouraged to retain a copy of their submissions.

7. The final date for any entry to be submitted is the Eleventh Day of March in the Year of Our Lord, Two Thousand and Six. Entries failing to comply with this rule will be disregarded.

8. An entry may take any format but, at the very least, must contain an event's title, its location, the date of attendance and a descriptive report. The report should be supported by evidence of the participant's attendance of the event and any further evidence the participant deems will assist his case to the Panel.

9. The report should be accompanied by at least one photograph of the participant at the event wearing his Tonsley Colours.

10. An entry must be signed and dated by the participant.

11. An entry cannot be altered in any way once it has been submitted.

12. In the unlikely case that an event is attended by more than one participant in a competing capacity (i.e. attending in Tonsley Colours) and subsequently receives multiple entries by the parties concerned, all entries from that specific sporting event will be deemed invalid and void. The only exception to the rule is if the event is held outside the United Kingdom. In such cases, two participants may submit the event.

13. There is no limit to the number of events a participant may submit to the Judges. However, each participant must select one of their submitted events to be put to the Panel of Judges for judgement at the "Tonsley Day of Reckoning". The Judges must receive written notice of the selected event by the Eleventh Day of March in the Year of Our Lord, Two Thousand and Six.

JUDGEMENT

14. The winner of the competition is the participant that the Judges deem to have visited, or taken part in, the "weirdest sporting event" during the year of the competition.

15. An event should fall under the Collin's Dictionary definition of "sporting" as "an activity for exercise, pleasure or competition". It is at the discretion of the Panel that an entry's validity under this definition is to be determined.

16. Participants should note that, further to Rule 15 above, the "sporting event" must also fulfil the requirement of being of a scale that is open to competitors from a geographical area which is the equivalent of a parish or larger.

17. Subject to compliance with Rules 15 and 16 above, an event will be judged solely on its "weirdness". The Panel will not prejudice an entry based on its geographical location (i.e. an entry for an event in Honolulu will not be considered favourably over that of the same event held in England).

18. A prize will be presented to the winning participant on the "Tonsley Day of Reckoning".

19. Participants shall be present at the "Tonsley Day of Reckoning" in correct attire, namely black tie and Tonsley Colours.

20. Judges shall be present at the "Tonsley Day of Reckoning" in correct attire, namely black tie and the famous Tonsley Judges' Wigs.

21. In addition to the principal competition, kudos will be attributed and, at the discretion of the Judges, a separate award may be made to the participant who has made the most significant contribution to promoting the competition through either local or national media. Examples of such promotional activity might include being interviewed for television whilst at the event or submitting a report of the event to a local newspaper. Evidence of any such coverage should be submitted to the Panel at the address outlined in Rule 6 above by the Eleventh Day of March in the Year of Our Lord, Two Thousand and Six.

22. The Judges' decision is final.
