We’ll do our best to give everyone a chance to play, but we cannot guarantee it. Make the effort to show up on time to help ensure your team gets a spot in the tournament bracket. Afterwards we’ll hold side-matches to keep the spirit of the games alive.
House Rules
- Qualifying and Second Rounds (the speed rounds) will last for 15 minutes. At the end of that time, any unfinished matches will go into overtime.
- In the Qualifying Round there are 10 teams per conference. Only the top 4 teams can progress to the Second Round. At the end of the round, the last table with an unfinished match will have BOTH teams eliminated.
- Matches will be played with 6 cups per side.*
- In Overtime, both teams will be left with one cup. Teams alternate shots one at a time. After a cup has been made the opposing team has one redemption shot. Opposing teams can match redemption shot for redemption shot until one team eventually misses and thus loses the match.
- RPS for who shoots first: Matches and Overtime start with teams playing 1 throw of Rock, Paper, Scissors (Rochambeau) to decide which team shoots first.
- No blowing, no fingering [insert innappropriate comment here].
- Bounce shots are allowed. Bounce shots count for only 1 cup.
- Swatting after bouncing allowed: Players may swat at shots once the ball hits any physical object after leaving the shooter’s hand. This includes bounce shots and shots that rebound off cup rims.
- Casualties are your fault: Any spilled cups are considered cups that have been made, and will not be replaced.
- Make both get both back (Rollbacks): If a team makes two cups in one turn, they get another turn to shoot two shots.*
- Once a team makes all cups, the opposing team gets one turn for redemption. Rollbacks are allowed in redemption turns.
- Death cup: if two shots are made in the same cup, the match is over. Players should promptly remove made cups to avoid death cup.
- Racking: 1 re-rack anytime a team has 3 cups, and only 3 cups, left to be made.*
- Elbow rule: Shooters’ elbows may not extend pass the edge of the table.
- Sportsmanship is appreciated. Let’s all have a good time.
Matches start with 3 cups per side. No rollbacks. No re-racking.
