LunchPun guidance

Who we are #LunchPun aims to be a fun hashtag to encourage the writing of new puns by anybody and everybody. It is managed by a small panel of people who enjoy reading and writing puns and are willing to give up much of their free time to make it run smoothly.

Guidance To make #LunchPun work effectively we ask you to follow the guidance below:

1. The game will only run on weekdays (Monday to Friday). Anything submitted at lunchtime on a weekend will not be seen / counted.

2. Only ONE pun should be tweeted with the tags #LunchPun and #RateMyPun added between 12:00pm and 1:00pm GMT/BST on any given day. Any entrant submitting more than one pun will be excluded from that day’s #RateMyPun game.

3. Your tweet MUST include both the hashtag #LunchPun and the hashtag #RateMyPun to be included in the day’s game and MUST NOT include any other hashtags as this will be interpreted as an attempt to unfairly gain likes from a wider audience.

4. Note that this is a pun game so jokes must take the form of a play on words to be counted. The panel will decide whether a given joke meets this criterion.

5. We want to encourage new writing so your work MUST be original and not a joke you did not write. Neither should it just be a re-post of one of your earlier jokes.

The panel will use their discretion as to whether they consider a joke to be new writing or not (we appreciate that many similar ideas will crop up and some leeway will be given accordingly). NB However, like VAR, panel decisions may not always be agreeable, but they will be final.

6. Any attempt to unfairly gain additional likes and retweets e.g. by paying for additional likes, by lobbying and/or paying accounts with a large following to retweet your pun etc will lead to disqualification. Repeat offenders who don’t play by the spirit of the game will ultimately be blocked.

Points system

The tweet with the most likes gained between 12:00 and 13:00 that day and meeting all of the above criteria will be awarded 5 points; the tweet with the second most likes will be awarded 4 points etc. down to 1 point for the tweet receiving the 5th most likes. The number of retweets a tweet receives will be used to decided between any tweets which have the same number of likes, and if the number of likes and retweets is the same then both tweets will receive the same number of points.

The results from each day will be tweeted by a LunchPun panel member from the account @LunchyMcPunface as soon after 13:00 as practicable using the #LunchPun hashtag. The Top 5 tweets will be retweeted.

Kudos At the end of each month the panel will confirm that month’s winning writer (whomever has accumulated the most points) using the #LunchPun tag.

Other competitive elements will be introduced at the panel’s discretion e.g. ‘judges’ picks of the week’, ‘tweet of the month’ etc.

Remember #LunchPun is meant to be creative and fun, so enjoy!

Contact Should you have any sensible questions or suggestions concerning #LunchPun please DM @lunchymcpunface who will be either happy or unhappy to assist, depending on the nature of the approach.
