Tea Dueling Rules
As it’s popularity and flamboyancy grows across the land, you may have heard of something called “Tea Dueling”, and have been intrigued. The Temporal Entourage of the Western Territorial Frontier Tea Dueling Association has dispatched their “Tea Witches” out to the wilds of California, to share this elegant sport as a more civilized way to handle heated discussions. After all, disputes are to be settled on the field of tea
in the most genteel manner.
The rules of tea dueling are relatively simple. The duel is a contest of wills between two competitors.
Each competitor is provided a cup of tea and their choice of a biscuit. The competitors must hold the biscuit in a two-fingered hold. When instructed to dunk, the competitors must submerge at least 50% of the biscuit in the tea for a count of five, and then pull the biscuit out of the tea. This is where the duel begins!
The goal of tea dueling is to get a clean “nom”, in which you put the biscuit in your mouth and bite it without having lost any pieces along the way. This sounds easy, but as the biscuit has been submerged in hot tea, it will want to immediately fall apart, presenting difficulty in achieving a clean “nom”.
If both duelists achieve a clean nom, the one who waited the longest before eating their biscuit is declared the winner.
