Each team has two players, a shooter and a ball-boy. The shooters are on one end of the table, the ball boys on the other.
Line up three cups in a vertical line on the opposite side of the table for each team. Each cup represents a different kind of shot, a layup (the closest), a free throw (middle), and three-pointer (farthest). Put one full cup in between the two teams’ cups. This is the half-court shot.
Every time a player makes a shot their ball boy must drink the beer before the shooter can move on to their next shot. Your ball boy is also there to catch the shots you miss and throw them back to you.
Your cups must be made in the correct order: lay-up then free throw, then three-pointer. If you make one out of order, it doesn’t count.
Once you make all three of your cups you can then shoot for the half-court shot. If you make the half-court shot, the opposing teams’ shooter must chug it.
Refill the half-court cup. Shooters become ball boys, ball boys become shooters.
Weightlifting is a fun twist on flip cup. It’s played the same way except for one difference, the amount of beer in each cup.
Starting on one end fill up each cup increasing the amount in each. The last person on each side should have a full cup, this is the heavy weight*
Starting on the smallest end, each person must chug their cup and flip it before the next person goes.
First team to have all their cups flipped wins.
As you play more rounds, move the heavy weight cup down the line. DON’T let players move! Each player must “pull their own weight” to win.
