Here is another set of 'rules' that's been circulating for a while. Also take a look at 11 Commandments and The Rules . And never forget: it's good to know the rules (some rules) but once you've mastered them, by all means break them.

Here goes:

  • Thou shalt not block (see Blocking )

  • Thou shalt always retain focus

  • Thou shalt not shine above thy team- mates

  • To gag is to commit a sin that will be paid for (see Gagging )

  • Thou shalt always be changed by what is said to you

  • Thou shalt not waffle ( see Waffling )

  • When in doubt, break the routine

  • To wimp is to show thy true self

  • (S)he what tries to be clever is not; while (s)he that is clever doesn't try

  • When thy faith is low, thy spirit weak, thy good fortune strained, and thy team losing, be comforted and smile, because it just doesn't matter.
