Beer Drinking Games
The object of the game is to score more runs than the opposing team. This is done by shooting your ball at the opposing teams cup setup which is a 4 cup vertical line. Each cup is a designated base. The first cup (closest to the opposing team is a single) the last cup ( closest to your team ) is a home run. Each cup in between is a double and triple in respect to its adjacent base. Thus a home run is harder to make for the opposing team because it is a longer shot than the single base cup.
Scoring goes as followed: A team only scores when their team makes enough cups to add up to 4 bases or home plate just as in a game of baseball. A team can do this by making any combination of cups that add up to 4 bases. For example; If player A shoots and makes the first cup that is considered a single. Player B shoots and makes the third cup or triple. Player B moves the runner on first home and Player B is now on third.
The score is 1-0 with a runner on third, no outs. Each team is allowed 3 outs per inning. The game last for 9 innings. An out occurs when a player misses a shot or if a runner is caught stealing. Steals can only happen when a team has a runner or runners on base. For example; Player C shoots and makes a double with no runners on. Player D ( or the designed base stealer ) can immediately try to steal third base.
You successfully steal when you drink a designated amount of beer from the designated cup. You then must be first at flipping your cup over 1/2 rotation and making it land upright. See Flipcup rules for a better understanding. A player can steal at any time during a game as long as their team is on offense with a runner on base. The team on defense has to always be prepared to defend a steal because of this rule.
