contact with a surface or cup, OR passed behind defensive team’s cups. (Any contact

sink
all their opponent’s cups wins. Scoring is as follows:

dipshits forget to
clear the cup from the table and the shooting team’s second shooter sinks his/her
shot
into the same cup then the opposing dipshit team automatically loses the game
with no chance
of redemption.
a) “The Dipshit rule” also refers to when a dipshit accidentally knocks over
his/her team’s own cup. In this case the knocked over cup counts against that
team and the team must also remove 2 more cups. If this causes the team to
run out of cups then that team loses with no chance for redemption.
b) Q: What is blue and yellow and sits at the bottom of the pool? A: A baby with
slashed floaties.

20. After the shooting team sinks all of opposing team’s cups, the opposing team’s
players each
get 1 shot at redemption. (Rollbacks do not apply during redemption.)During
redemption, each shooter gets to shoot until he/she misses. If all cups are sunk
during
redemption then the game moves to overtime.
Re-racks:
21. Each team has 2 re-racks per game that can be used at ANY TIME during their
possession.
The team may re-rack into any shape they desire as long as it stays
within the boundaries of the triangle outline.
Overtime:
22. Overtime consists of a 1 cup vs. 1 cup SUDDEN DEATH playoff. The first team to
sink a
shot wins with no chance of redemption by the opposing team. The first possession
in
OT goes to the superior team
(the team that did not have to sink the redemption shot(s) to
force OT.) The cup will be place in the OT circle inside the triangle outline on the
table.
If no team has sunk a shot after 4 rounds then both cups will be moved 6 inches
closer
to the center of the table. This will continue every 4 rounds until both cups are in
the
center circle of the table. Rollbacks DO apply during OT. Substitutes are not
allowed for
any shooter in OT.
To the Victor Go the Spoils:
23. When a team has a cup sunk the team must consume the contents of that cup.
