WORLD SERIES OF FLIP CUP - Rules

STANDARD GAME RULES
14oz clear plastic cups will be used for the WSOFC08. A standard match consists of 6 players per team. Each player will fill their cup with a small amount of beverage. There is no official amount of beverage, but a good rule of thumb is to go up to the first line of your plastic cup if there is any debate.

Designate one end of the table as the starting end, and the other as the anchor end. The first player at the starting side will be assigned cup #1 and so on down the line. The game starts when both player #1's tap each other's cup and then tap the table. Also known as "The Gentleman's Start." From there each player #1 will drink the amount of beverage in the cup. Then they will place the cup FACE UP on the edge of the table and proceed to flip the cup until it lands FACE DOWN. Then player #2 can drink their beverage and proceed to flip, and so on down the line until all team members have flipped. The first team to flip all of their cups wins that game. The next game will start with player #2 being the new starter and player #1 being the new anchor. There is no need to move any player locations on the table.

If 2 cups on opposing sides land at the same time you go to a tie breaker known as JUNGLE RULES (see below). Remember, if 2 cups hit the table at the same time, it is the cup that settles first that wins. The matches will be a "best of 7" format. The first team to 4 victories wins.

ALTERNATES
Substitutions can only be made before the start of a particular match. Once game play begins the 6 players who start the match have to finish it.

 

JUNGLE RULES
Jungle Rules is when everyone at the table participates at the same time. The entire table will Gentleman's Start, then everyone will flip. The first team to have every team member flip their cup will win.

 

KING OF THE TABLE RULES (KOT)
This can be described as a combination of Survivor and Jungle rules. You can have as many players as your table will hold. The whole table will Gentleman's Start and the last player to flip their cup is voted off. This will continue until 1 player is left, and they are the King of the Table.

A very important rule of KOT is that once the game starts you cannot leave the table until you either lose, or the game is over. With so many people playing it is important to keep the game moving.
