We need 8 teams of two. So, if you want to participate, please contact Rachelle Johnson at AASIA.Webmaster@gmail.com by 10pm Tuesday to reserve a spot. *The winning team gets $30 dollars!* EVEN IF YOU CAN’T PARTICIPATE, you can still come and watch and cheer on your friends!

Our teams so far are:
Ivan Ruiz – Partner TBD
Eric Washington - Thomas Insley
Kevin Chiem – Partner TBD
Corinne Martin – Terry Turner

House rules:

  • You can bounce the ball off the table. If the ball successfully makes it into a cup, then two cups are removed. However, the opposing team is allowed to block the shot once the ball bounces off the table.
  • Two cup rearrangements allowed per game, and it can be any rearrangement of your choice.

  • Can call “island” or “sniper”, meaning if one cup stands alone and you call “island”/”sniper” and make that cup, 2 cups are removed

  • First team to remove all the opposing team’s cups wins. However, both players on the team must land the shot into the last cup in order for the game to end.
