Rules for 2026 published this morning:
⭐ The rules remain the same: get the best value for money from your season ticket without making yourself miserable.
⭐ There will once again be one special bonus event per day earning the attendee 10 bonus points. 🔮
⭐ The coveted Paula Radcliffe 🏃‍♀️ award also remains up for grabs- the most distance covered according to the yellow map in the programme and the official Shatterproof Ruler™️
🚨 This year we introduce another prize…
The prize for innovation! Players will not know exactly what the criteria are for this prize, but all are encouraged to be as innovative and groundbreaking as possible throughout the week💡
🚨 Technological advancements have also allowed us the use of VAR. Any ruling can be referred to our eye in the sky Felan for a second opinion. As he is a veteran referee, players can rest assured that the Whitby Game remains as fair and balanced as ever!

Rule 3 the printed programme is the source of information about all matters

Rule 3b if last years ticket prices are available, those - as the actual cost of the ticket - are the reference point for the vfm game

Rule 7b if the programme lists an event as “Ticket Holders” or “Season Ticket Event”, the score is the equivalent of one event at the highest tariff on that day in that year. (In 2024 = £18 most days; £20 on the Friday.)

Rule 45d “attending” an event is the equivalent of one real / reel (18 bars) aspect of the event. For example, one dance at a ceilidh, one song at concert, one set of tunes at a session.
