Those are almost the general OSU/OU rules. I would gladly play in this tourny over some I have played in the past. Some people have the most fucked up house rules EVER.
Examples:
No blocking the bounce.
two re-racks (common UK rule)
Re-rack after EVERY CUP MADE
You dont drink all the remaining beer if you lose
No order in how the cups are set up...also known as Minepong or scatter-pong
No redemption...first to hit the last cup wins
The list can go on and on.
The rules I try and play with everywhere I go are as follows:
-Ten cups, 3 beers per side
-Bounce you can swat but if it goes in counts for two
-Bitches Blow
-Both team members make a cup the balls come back (rollback)
-Both team members make the SAME cup (death cup) game is over
-One re-rack, cannot be in the middle of a turn including rollbacks
-"Touch-ups" are acceptable and can happen in the middle of a turn
-REDEMPTION, aka the end of the game is where the most differences between houses occur (my opinion) - if one opposing team member hits the last cup the other team has to hit one cup to continue the game. If both opposing team members hit the final cup game is over. The cups are not drank if the game continues. To me, this is harder and keeps the better players on the table.
Do you guys play on homemade tables or regulation pingpong tables? That's another thing that kills me when traveling...I'm so used to shooting on a fullsize pong table that when I play on shorter tables my shot is fucked up. It normally takes a game or two to ajust.
PS - I would def be down for a tourney...21+ please.
