These
are the rules that we generally play under. There are many variations,
and if you have any variations, let us know and we will list them
under this page.
The
rules have been broken up according to what area of the game they
deal with.
Before
the Game
To determine who goes first, a player from each team shoots at the
same time looking eye to eye. Whoever makes it first starts with
the ball.
The cup made on the eye to eye shot does not count.
General
Game Rules
No Fingers. No Blows. (Because it's subjective & always causes
fights)
If a cup tips over it's gone.
Bounces count as two cups, but can be blocked.
A bounce has to be deliberate to count for two cups.
Re-racks are done at 6, 4, 3, 2, and 1.
Cups should be re-racked or removed after each players shot.
If a cup is not removed after a player makes it and his/her partner
makes it into the same cup, it counts for two cups and a rollback.
If a team drops a ball into their own cup, that cup is gone.
If each player from a team makes it, they get the balls back (Rollback).
Don't lean excessively (if you're called on it, take a step back).
If a cup is knocked off of the table, it’s gone, unless
no beer spills and the ball falls out of the cup.
If a ball stalls between three cups, all three cups are gone.
If a player from a team blocks a shot accidentally (by catching
or
by hitting), the player who’s shot was blocked gets another
shot. If a shot is blocked again in the match (by anyone), it is
a one cup penalty.
End
of Game Rules
If a team is shut out, they must streak.
Rebuttals are shoot 'till you miss for each player.
If the first player to shoot makes the last cup in a rebuttal, the
second player gets to shoot to determine who starts with the ball
in overtime.
Overtimes are three cups, and do include a rebuttal.
If the first player to shoot makes the last cup, the second player
always gets a shot at the last cup.
If both players make it on the last shot, there is no rebuttal,
since the team gets a rollback.
Sinking the last cup at the end of the game, rebuttal and overtime
counts as a last cup made.
Tournament
Rules
Tourney games are best 2 out of 3.
The top sixteen elidgable teams make it to the tourney.
To be elidgable for the tourney, a team will have to play a set
amount of games (number of games to be determined).
Seeds for the playoffs are determined by win percentage. |
