What is Flip Cup?
1.
A beer game played at many parties or tournaments. There are at least four people on each of the two teams. They are lined up on each side facing each other, each person having one cup of beer each filled anywhere from 1/4-1/2 full. The "starter" faces his opponent, cheers with him, and chugs a beer. Next he must put his cup right side up on the table with it hanging off the edge just barely. Using your hands or fingers you must flip the cup on its top (half a rotation). After one person has completed the cycle, the next person in line may go. The team that finishes first wins.
There is also a version where the losing team has to vote out one person (survival mode). The remaining of the losing team must pick up the slack and drink the same amount of beer. Alot of people are saying to themselves right now "What happens when there is only one person left?". Trust me, I have beat 4 people by myself. It all depends on how fast you can chug and flip.
The version of Flip Cup that we play here (NCSU and UNC-CH) is what I would like to call a "hardcore relay" version. I am not sure if anybody has ever played this way, because when I come into contact with other Flip Cup players, they play the standard way. The same rules apply as they do in the original version. The exception is everybody has TWO cups instead, filled with the same amount of beer. The person at the end of the table is no longer the "finisher" but yet the "anchorman". The "starter" now becomes the "finisher" also. The game starts as usual, the Starter cheering w/ his opponent, and the relay goes down the line the in the proper order. When it gets to the person at the end of the table opposite of the starter (left/right), that person (Anchorman) will drink and flip both their cups in ONE turn. Then the relay heads back the other way towards the starter/finisher again, ending the game. This version takes twice as long, but will also get you twice as drunk. The emphasis on the Starter/Finisher and the Anchorman is crucial to winning.
The great thing about this game is that is totally opposite of games like beer pong where the winner drinks less. In Flip Cup the people that win are most likely going to be the drunk people, seeing that they finish first. The losers just drink last and occasionally you can get them to do some beer bitch duties such as pour the winning teams beer, let you borrow their beer, or go get your beer for you.
Lets go get the long table for some Flip Cup!
Who is going to be our Anchorman in Flip Cup?

A drinking game played by many binge drinkers across the US. It consists of two teams who race to take turns chugging beer and then flipping their cup before the next person on there team can begin. First team to make it through all teammates wins. Most series are played first to 7, win by 2, dead at 11.
Although only true competitors (mostly those who grew up in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania) play with a FULL flip. This is accomplished by starting the cup open end down on the table after chugging, and flipping the cup a FULL rotation to land open end back down on the table.
To all of you half flip losers out there, I've had more exciting games of monopoly with my grandparents.
Hey, I just picked up a keg of Milwaukee's Best, lets flip some cup.

Drinking game designed for beer pong losers or people who just generally suck at beer pong. Flip cup players will try to convince the more higly-skilled beer pong players to sacrifice their winning streak in order to play more of a "team game". This is the feces of a male cow and a lame attempt at trying to compensate for their drinking inferiority.

Teams consist of 6 players. At the start of each series, teams will be placed on opposing sides of their designated tables. FCG will determine the amount of beverage to be poured into each cup at the start of each competition. FCG will designate the side of the table that will start the race. Games begin with a gentleman’s tap (tap cups, down to the table, up to the mouth). Once the tap is completed, the relay race begins. Once a cup’s contents are finished, the player must place the cup mouth up on the edge of the table. The cup will be flipped from this position until it lands mouth down. Players cannot touch their cup until the previous player’s cup is 100% face down on the table. The remaining players will repeat the same process until all members have successfully flipped their cups. In the event that the last 2 cups land and settle at the same time, the game will is considered a do-over. The first team to successfully flip all of their cups wins the round. The first team to win 4 times will win the best of 7 series. Each player must flip each game and can only use one hand to flip cups. Players who spill or pour out excessive beverage from their cup will have to start over.
