Game, Set & Claps: the Made Up Game hall-of-famer you HAVE to try

Every week, a listener sends in a Made Up Game and this was an instant classic from Mark. Wimbledon has a historic sense of tradition, but Game, Set & Claps is the viral new game that everybody is talking about. Experience world-class play as Elis James and John Robins, two titans of the Game, Set & Claps scene, take part in an exhibition match featuring agility, piercing stares and highly technical headbands. With speculation about Game, Set & Claps being added to the Olympics, now is the time to start practising. Do let us know in the comments how you get on. RULES One of Elis or John will serve with a clap. They will then alternate back and forth with good claps until someone messes up and delivers a "bad clap". What is a good clap? It's not all about volume, but more about the pitch, the resonance, that mini "pop" you get when perfectly catching a pocket of air in your palm. Any bad claps will be called "FAULT!" by Producer Dave, with the point awarded to the preceding good clapper. If Elis or John believes a clap was bad they should not return with a clap of their own - if they do return the clap then they have accepted it as a good (enough) one and the rally continues. The scoring is obviously done in tennis style, and the aim is to win one game. Serves will alternate between Elis and John, and if a player faults on their serve, they get a second serve. Headbands optional but encouraged.
