Buckle up, because a cheating scandal is roiling England. The accusations revolve around a winner of the World Conker Championships, and if he used a metal conker to defeat his opponents’ conkers. A conker is a buckeye chestnut that falls from trees and can be found all over Britain and Ireland in the fall. Two opponents face off, with the goal of destroying the other person’s conker with your own by whipping one against the other. Last person standing with an intact conker wins.
