Upper Midwest Flip Cup

Rules and Terms:
Flip Cup is a team game, usually with 5 players per team. You may also have one alternate. Each team has to have a minimum of two females.
At the beginning of each round each team will be given a full cup of beer to be distributed between players as they see fit.

The game is basically a relay race. Each person on the team goes one at a time. The first person must drink their beer. Once finished, they must place the empty cup, right-side up, on the end of the table. They then must flip the cup over so that it lands face-down on the table. (You sort of just tap the bottom of the right-side up cup to make it flip).The next person may then proceed to drink and flip until the entire team is done.The first team to finish and flip all of their cups wins!

Game: One round of Flip-Cup. Winning team finishes five cups first.

Match: A match will consist of a best of five series between two teams. Winning team wins three games.

Please name your team for the bracket. Team shirts are not required but are encouraged.
Teams will elect a team captain. The team captain will be responsible for Flip-Offs.
Flip-Off: First round byes will be determined by Flip-Off.

Game Play:
Next player in line may not hold their cup until the previous player has successfully flipped theirs. The cup must remain on the table until a successful flip is made.

Lost cups: The flipping player must flip their own cup. Wild cups on the floor must be chased and used to advance.

Booting: If a team member should boot (puke, yak, Technicolor yawn, pray to the porcelain god), he or she is eliminated from the tournament. The alternate must take their place. The loss of two team members in this fashion will result in disqualification.

We highly recommend you designate a driver outside of your team for your safe transport home. A typical alternate could play one round and be fine to drive. We want you to have a great time and be safe
