ΣΧ King of Cups 2011

A. Offence:
1.) Throw ball through the air and into opponents’ cup. Either opponent must drink
the cup the ball is in.

2.) Throw ball at opponent’s and bounce it off anything before it lands in a cup
(exception: If it bounces off the same cup it enters!)

3.) Your opponents may not shoot until they have drunk their cups and have returned
the sunken ball to the shooting team. Failure to follow this instruction will cause
resulting shoot to become void.
4.) If the attacking team sinks two balls in the same cup, the defending side must
drink two cups.

B. Infractions:
1.) Interference: If the defending team makes contact with a ball in flight.

2.) Idiocy: If you knock over your own cups, the cups are treated as though a ball has
been sunk in them and they are removed from the game.

3.) You may not lean over the table. Both feet must have contact with the floor
and your torso must be unbent. Failure to follow this instruction will cause resulting
shoot to become void.

C. Defence:

1.) Bounced balls may be swatted or caught

2.) Blow-outs: Not allowed, UNTIL THE QUARTER FINALS

3.) Flicks: Never allowed

4.) Psyche-outs: You may attempt to distract your opponents whilst they are shooting

E. Redemption:

1.) You may only shoot a redemption shoot if your team is in possession of one ball

at the time of having the ball sunk into your last cup (exception: Quarter-Finals

onward each team will be entitled to one redemption shoot regardless of

possession).

2.) Upon making all redemption shoots the game goes to overtime. In Overtime each

team places one cup on the table (with the appropriate amount of beer) and the

game continues. If the attacking team sinks a ball in the defending teams’ cup

during overtime the defending team is entitled one redemption shoot, regardless

of ball possession (exception: Semi-Finals onward each team will play

overtime with three cups following the same rules.)
