What is Cuppies?
1.
A traditional English Football game played by children where players compete against each other to score in one goal, usually marked-out by jumpers/trees against the fat kid nominated to go in goal (or int' nets up north). The last child to score in each round is eliminated and a new round starts until the final two players are left. This is deemed 'the final' and 2 or 3 goals are required to become champion.
Can be played in 'singles' or 'doubles'... Goal-hanging is not tolerated and persistant offenders will be penalised with 'Penalties-all-round' where every other player is awarded a penalty-kick from 12 paces.
Regional Variations:
- Cuppies
- Cup-sies
- World Cups
- Wembley Doubles
"Please Mrs Shufflebottom, is our Jimmy allowed out to come out and play Cuppies"
