Rule 6. Beer
6-1 Amount
For SIX CUP STUD, two full beers (cans, bottles, or 16 ounce cups) should be evenly distributed among
the cups. For ten cups/side games, four full beers (cans, bottles, or 16 ounce cups) should be used.
6-2 Consumption
Cups are not removed until all shots from the opposing team have been executed for that turn. Before
anyone from your team can shoot for a particular turn, all beers that were scored in during the opposing
team’s turn must be consumed. A drinking order is typically established for each team.
Rule 7. Shooting
7-1 Number of shots
During a turn, each player on a team executes a single shot. If a player is missing, then that player’s shot
is forfeited. During one player per team games, each player shoots two consecutive shots per turn.
Rule 8. Defense
8-1 Physical Interference
In no manner whatsoever, shall the defending team interfere with an opposing team’s shot until it is
rendered either a Dead Shot or a Spinner. If Physical Interference occurs and the ball is not sunk, then a
one cup penalty is incurred and the defensive team must remove and consume a cup of the offensive
team’s choosing. Physical Interference includes blowing and other methods to affect air currents.
