Scoring
When you insert your Dibber into the mouth of a Triffid you will see a rotating pattern on the display, after about 5 seconds (10 at most) you should see a bright flash, withdraw your Dibber.  If you are not sure whether you saw a flash (indicating a successful dib)  you may dib again, you will only be awarded points for the first dib though!   After the flash you can go if you wish.  If you stay for a few more seconds the number of  times that the Triffid has been dibbed that day will be shown.  IMPORTANT - if the battery is running low the red display shuts down but the bright white flash indicates your dib has been recorded.  If no flash, please make a note of the time you found the Triffid.
Positions and points
 '1'  means you are 1st there,  good news, that counts 40 points (80 if it is your Joker).
2nd - 32 points,   3rd - 26,   4th -  23,    5th -  20  ....  17, 15, 13, 11,  9, 8, 7, 6, ,5, 4, 3, 2, 18th or more - just  1 point.  

The large points at the beginning of the sequence give a big reward for being first there, encouraging people to split up. If a group goes one way, a lone hunter going a different way may pick up more points.

Only points at your Joker count immediately, dibbing at other Triffids will potentially give you points but they are not added to your score until you take your Dibber to your Joker and dib again to bank them.   Any points not banked before the machine gun of dots sound at the end of the event are lost. To compete at the top level you may need to take some risk,  the multi-spice!

At the end of the day your Joker points are doubled, added to your other points and your handicap subtracted.
In the event of a points tie, the first person to make their final dib takes the higher place.
