A PUBGAINE! is a portmanteau of ‘Pub-crawl’ and ‘Rogaine’. In the former, good times are had. In the latter teams of 4-6 race around to collect Control Points with the aid of a map and compass. Combining these activities makes for a ludicrously good time!
The rules are simple. Each team is given a map with a list of pubs marked on it. Each pub is worth a designated number of points based roughly on the difficulty of reaching it. You are allowed to move by foot, or on public transport, but no cars, taxis, bicycles, skateboards, rollerblades, or pogo sticks. Unicycles are permitted. The team must remain together at all times, splitting up to get to more pubs is a no-no.
Use this sheet to start forming teams:

No Team? No worries. Add your name in the first column of the sheet. Otherwise, make sure to turn up at 5.45 pm and we’ll get you sorted.
The start is at UNSW Gear Cupboard (Sam Cracknell Pavilion) @ 6:30 pm. Rego by 6:20 pm.
BONUS POINTS:
• 60 points – for each team member wearing a helmet.
• 50 points – for each team with a new member who joined the club less than 6 months ago. 50 points for the first member and 30 points for each additional person.
• 40 points – for each team member wearing thermal leggings and shorts on top.
• 30 points – for each team member wearing a harness.
• 20 points – for each team member carrying a compass around their neck.
• 10 points – for each team member wearing a head torch.
• 10 points – for each team member who can present a space blanket at the finish line (used or unused).
• 1.5 x points for each pub where every team member drinks a beverage. Receipts must be provided digitally.
For the 1.5 x points, we are going digital this time. There will be a link and QR code on the answer sheet and you will need photographic evidence for points. You’ll use the sheet to submit all your receipts so make sure your phone is charged!
The PUBGAINE! itself will begin at 6:30 pm. There will be warm-up social time, and registration from 5:30 pm, so come along at any time and hang out and register. Rego will close at 6:20 before a mass start at 6:30. Maps will be handed out as you register your team. All teams must be back at the Hash House – Victoria Park Broadway – no later than 9:30, and a 10-point penalty per minute late will given. If you cannot make it in time after work/uni, you may join a team out on the course if you get them to register on your behalf.
