Troy Beer Pong League: Rules

Set Up

Gameplay

Gameplay for a fresh match is initiated by one player from each team making eye contact with the other, and shooting blindly on the count of 3 at the opposing team's cups. The first team to hit gets the first shots. The cup hit blindly in opening does NOT count.
After the first match, the established winner from the previous match shoots first in all subsequent matches following a win.
Elbows: pool table: no rule, waist must be behind the table's back edge; door: elbows must be behind the edge of the table
Rerack: 2, shooter's choice of shape, beginning of turn before any shots only
If a cup is hit, the ball stays in the cup until after the second player shoots
2 hits in different cups in same round = shoot again
2 hits in same cup = 3 cups (cup that was hit plus 2 of defender's choice) and shoot again
bounce = 2 cups, bounces can be swatted. Ball must hit the table first.
Finger/Blow: If the ball hits the rim and spins in the cup before hitting the water, the defending team can attempt to finger hook or blow the ball out of the cup. "Guys finger, Bitches blow"
Interference: If a defending player interferes with the ball in flight or blocks the cups in any way, interference is called, invoking a penalty of 1 cup.

Ending the game

the game is ended when all opposing cups have been hit
if the last cup is hit by 1 shot, the opposing team is allowed a rebuttal
If last 2 cups are hit by different shots in same round, or if the last 3 cups are hit by two shots in the same cup, rebuttal is allowed if the team that shot has less cups left on the table.
2 hits in last cup ends game, no rebuttal, if there is only one cup left
Rebuttal: The losing team shoots at the remaining cups. If a hit is scored, the player who hit that cup gets to shoot again. This continues until both players have missed or all remaining cups are hit, the latter forcing overtime

Overtime

3 cups in triangle
The team that hit all the cups during regular play shoots first
Rebuttal rules apply - teams play through as many overtimes as is necessary to end the game
