Official Rules: Flip Cup

  1. Setup. Two equal teams face each other across the table. A few ounces in every cup.
  2. Start. First players touch cups, tap the table, and drink.
  3. Finish it before you flip.
  4. Flip. Cup upright on the table edge, rim hanging over. Flick it so it lands upside down. One hand. No blowing.
  5. It counts only when it rests mouth-down, flat on the table. Missed? Reset and flip again.
  6. Relay. The next teammate starts only when your flip lands.
  7. False start? Your cup is refilled, and you start again when the flip lands.
  8. Anchor lands it first, and the team wins the round. Best of three.
  9. Uneven teams. One player on the smaller team goes twice.
