If you are unfamiliar with Gawpfishing, which you probably will be, since I invented it, I shall forthwith offer an explanation of gameplay:
The game is played in an arena comprising any form of public transport with London Underground being the favoured. Play commences at or after
The game is played in an arena comprising any form of public transport with London Underground being the favoured. Play commences at or after
sunset. No sooner. This is a sport for two players. One may play alone.

Described here are THE LAWS for a two-competitor tournament.
The Anglers locate themselves in the middle of the arena and sit facing eachother. The direction of travel is "upstream". The player facing upstream takes first honour.

The "Angler With Honour" casts his Seeding gawp (the gawpcast). This is done by yawning- The second most contageous bodily function the human body is capable of, second only to vomiting, which is a completely different sport alltogether. After the Gawpcast, the Angler in play then "Retreats",or, sits back and waits for either a "nibble" or a bite. If before the next station, his Seeding Gawp is taken and reciprocated by any other passenger seated in "his" end of the playing field, it is counted as "One bite" Subsequent passengers who then yawn as a result of the bite score one point each. A Bite constitutes a full on yawn. A "Nibble" is defined as any detectable sigh. Nibbles count as half a point each.
For any bite or nibble that travels into the "downstream" end counts as two or one points respectively. When the round has finished, ie, anyone who was going to gawp has gawped and it is agreed by both parties, The Angler sitting downstream then has the honour, fishing upstream.
After both Anglers have played one gawpcast each, they must leave at the next stop and move to the next carriage. They then must take their positions opposite to the previous (Previous upstream Angler sits downstream etc) and play resumes.
AT NO POINT does a gawp committed by either angler score any points.
In the event of a scoring dispute, you're obviously taking it all a bit too seriously and need to chill out.
Got all that?
