Flip Cup, also known as Flipper, Flippy Cup, Taps, Tippy Cup, Flippity Whippity, Cups, Canoe, Turbos or Turbo Cups, is a team-based drinking game. Effectively a drinking relay race, it is the North-American equivalent of a boat race. The two teams stand on both sides of a table, facing one other (the person in front of a player is his/her opponent). In front of each teammate is a cup filled with an arbitrary amount of any kind of liquid (often beer). A player and his opponent both have the same amount of liquid. At the start of the race, the first member of each team drinks his or her beverage. When finished, the cup is placed right-side up at the edge of the table, and the person who drank it tries to flip it upside down onto the table. If he or she is not successful on the first try, the cup must be reset and reflipped. Only after the first teammate is done flipping the cup successfully, can the next person proceed. Whichever team finishes drinking and flipping all its cups first is the winner. A team comprises many group of people or animals linked in a common purpose. ...

Rules

Standard rules

A standard match consists of anywhere from 4 to 8 players per team. Once a player has been placed on a team, he cannot switch until after the match is completed. Each team picks a side of the table they want to be on and then each player will fill their cup with some amount of beer. There is no official amount of beer, but a good rule of thumb is to go up to the top line of his plastic cup if there is any debate. The important fact is that both opposing players have the same amount of beer. Often, people allow the losing team to choose the amounts of beer to be played with in the subsequent game.

A typical flip cup setup

Designate one end of the table as the starting end, and the other as the anchor end. The first player at the starting side will be assigned cup #1 and so on down the line. The game starts when both player #1s tap each other's cup and then tap the table (also known as "The Gentleman's Start" or "Touch and Go"). From there, each player #1 will drink the amount of beer in the cup. Then they will place the cup FACE UP on the edge of the table and proceed to flip the cup until it lands FACE DOWN. Then player #2 can drink their beer and proceed to flip, and so on down the line until all team members have flipped. The first team to flip all of their cups wins that game.

If 2 cups on opposing sides land at the same time, the players go to a tie breaker known as JUNGLE RULES (see below). Remember, if 2 cups hit the table at the same time, it is the cup that settles first that wins.

The winner of the match is the first team to reach the designated amount of game victories. If there are 4 players on each team, the first team to 4 games wins the match. If there are 5 players on each team, the first team to 5 games wins the match, and so on. This method will give every player the chance to start a round. And as always, players must win by 2 games.

Variation rules

• Questions Start rules - In this variation, the game is played the same as standard rules, except instead of beginning each game with a Gentleman's Start, the first two players stand across from one another with their cups on the table and their fists touching knuckles. Another member of the game (from either team) then asks an either-or question (ex. blue or red?) and each of the first players must answer before grabbing their cup to drink and begin the game for their team. The goal of the question is to ask something that will fluster or make the player from the opposing team laugh and thus have a delayed start while trying to recover.
• Jungle rules - Everyone at the table participates at the same time. The entire table will Gentleman's Start, then everyone will flip. The first team to have every team member flip their cup will win.
• Survivor rules - Survivor follows the same general rules as a standard match, except after each game the losing team votes off a player. The rest of the team will have to make up for the loss by 1 player drinking 2 cups. So if there were 5 players initially playing and then they vote 1 off, the 4 remaining players would have to still account for 5 cups and so on until 1 player would have 5 cups. Teams keep playing until one team is out of players. With all of the moving around that goes on with Survivor there needs to be a consistent method for starting. To do this, a player always stays in cup order. Whoever has cup #1 starts, then after a player is voted off, whoever has cup #2 starts. It is possible that the same person could start all of the games depending on the cups they are accountable for.
• King of the Table (KOT) rules - This can be described as a combination of Survivor and Jungle rules. Teams can have as many players as the table will hold. The whole table will Gentleman's Start and the last player to flip their cup is voted off. This will continue until 1 player is left, and they are the King of the Table. A very important rule of KOT is that once the game starts, a player cannot leave the table until a team loses or the game is over. With so many people playing it is important to keep the game moving.
• Power Flip Hour rules - Perhaps the most lethal of all the Flip Cup games. With this game, a player does a power hour (drinks one shot of beer every minute for an entire hour), but, instead of just drinking the beer, all participants must flip after drinking, much like KOT. The last player to flip must drink an additional shot of beer.
• Nedda's Cup rules - Named for a Hawaiian drinking innovator, best played with between two and four players, competitors flip cups in order with each successive player having to flip one more out of ten cups. For example, player 1 has to flip one out of ten cups, player 2 has to flip two of ten cups and so on. The first player who can't meet their quota has to shotgun a beer. If play continues to where a player successfully flips ten of ten cups, all other competitors have to shotgun a beer.
• Marathon rules - This version of Flip Cup has a similar aspect to survivor Flip Cup, but also an individual component. It is preferable to have an even number of players, but not necessary. Players line all around a round table and two people on opposite sides start the game. From then on its an individual challenge, the flipping moves around the table as each flip is completed. The object of the game is to have one person catch up with the other one and overtake them. If the person flipping is overtaken he is out. This continues until only 2 people are left who finish the game with a best of 3 duel. The name is taken from the sheer length of time it takes to finish a game.

Cheating

If two hands are used to flip or guide the cup, it is an illegal flip. Only one hand is permitted to make the flip. The non-flipping hand may act strictly as balance assistance for the cup on the edge of the table. Sometimes, players are forced to play on tables with "less than ideal" edges, so it is necessary for added support. This in no way is meant to help guide the cup during the flip, just to keep it from falling off of the table. Also, the non-flipping hand must remain completely still during the flip if it is used for balance assistance. This will eliminate any debate about it being used as a guide. The only time contact with the cups by 2 hands is allowed is to place the cup on the edge or to re-set the cup if a complete flip is not made.
