FOREWORD

Welcome to the 2015 edition of the Better Together Games

(formerly called “Provincial Sport Days”) which have been hosted

in the Western Cape since 1998. This has, over the years,

engendered a spirit of healthy competition in the public service.

The 2015 Better Together Games will see competition in 20 codes

of sport and recreation. This is expected to contribute to building

the Western Cape Government’s capacity to ensure effective

and efficient service delivery by enhancing the lives of public

officials and promoting their well-being.

Partnerships forged with Old Mutual, Nedbank and Peninsula

Beverages for these Games bodes well for the future. We applaud

our sponsors for contributing towards a common goal and

empowering others. Congratulations to the Inter-Departmental

Local Organising Committee of the Games for making this event

possible.

We have no doubt that the outcome will be an enhanced sense

of us being “Better Together”.

Let us conduct these games in the spirit of fair play, fun and

camaraderie.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

1. Objectives

To see the last member of the team who will jump the

Team

Consists of four players (two men and two women)

Three sticks (drie stokkies)

3. How the game is played

Four team members line up behind the drie stokkies.

Every team member gets a chance to jump the three

sticks.

At the beginning the drie stokkies are 1 meter apart.

Each player that will jump should land with their left

foot behind the first stick, second landing on the right

foot behind the middle stick and the last jump with

the left foot, as far as possible behind the last stick.

The last stick is moved to where the last player

landed. Then the jumpers will start from the other side

where they landed.

If your foot touch a stick you will be out for the next

round. If you can’t jump over the last stick you are

also out and will lose the round.

make it, the first team will score 1 point.

Now they will start again from the other side B.

If 1 of the teams achieves the further jump by the last

player, they win the game and score two points.

Best out of three jumps win the game.

34

Klawerjas:


2. Normal rules of Klawerjas apply.

3. No information shall be sought while the game is in progress

as this is punishable. Inaudible roemte can however be

queried.

4. The trump card may not be picked up and placed with

others in the hand until the second trick is closed, unless it is

played. It may remain open throughout the game.

5. Any player playing before his counter has closed his entire

trick on the table can be punished.

6. Every player must play one of the same suit which is called

for, if he has one, unless he uses a trump.

7. When any delay is caused during play the opposition can,

during a short pause of two seconds, give three delayed taps

of two-second intervals on the table. If no card is played or

points called etc., the opponents can claim points. The

opponents may not tap while the counter is counting unless

the counter delays for more than three seconds. This rule can

be used very effectively. This was another of the laws of the

game that caused many an argument, for one will find four

players sitting around the table, four cards lying face-up on

35

the table nobody makes a move to pick up the trick for both

counters are unsure as to ; whose trick it is. Here everything

depends on the byspeler. A tap on the table will indicate to

his partner, "not to pick-up the trick". The rule is also that you

cannot tap your own partner, which brings us to the tapping

rule. This also alleviated the problem of not knowing whose

play it is. A partnership is unsure of which one must play first,

so naturally they sit, waiting on one another. The opponents

on the other hand is waiting and watching for playing out of

turn, is punishable. In the early years a counter will pick-up, or

open his last trick to see whose play it is, and this was

accepted. Not by everybody though. But generally

accepted. Now the tapping rule and to use it effectively you

tap the player whose not supposed to play and after the

stipulated three taps you punish them. For by tapping the

player whose not supposed to play, his partner normally

relaxes and accepts the fact that it's not his play.

8. Playing more than one card at a time incurs a penalty. Even

if the bottom card isn't visible. There's no such thing as "can

you call that card".

9. Jack of trumps needs not be played when trumps are called

for. Again there is no need that the jack of trump must be

played after three consecutive rounds of trumps have been

asked for.

10. Scoring a “vlag” is worth three points on the boem.

36

11. Team throwing in their cards without having a trick in new

play concede a “vlag” which is worth three points.

12. All matches will be played best of three boem.

13. Captains to toss, winning captain will get the cards and

opponents to be seated two minutes before play.

14. Only the winner progresses to the next round.
