SOUNDBITE (English) PATRICK BARRIE OF THE UK TEAM SAYING: "Well the game of tiddlywinks involves, at the nursery level, trying to flick counters into a central pot. We take it one stage further, there's an extra shot in our game, the squop shot, and if you play one of your counters onto your enemy, that covers them up and it captures them and that wink can't then be played." 3. PREPARING PLAYING SURFACE FOR MATCH 4. SOUNDBITE (English) LARRY KAHN OF THE USA TEAM SAYING: "In some ways it's still a kids game. Sometimes the game gets so silly even when we play it that you can't take it 100 percent seriously, you know we do in a match like this, but there's still elements of the kids game which is potting. People don't realise there's squopping which causes the game to be more strategic, so people don't realise that's what the tournaments game is about." 5. VARIOUS OF MATCH BEING PLAYED 6.
