Team Rules

Land a Flip = Shotgun a beer

After you finish your beer you get 1 flip. Call someone's name when you flip the can. If the can lands standing up, the person whose name was called has to shotgun a beer.

Additional rules: 1 flip for your first beer, 2 flips for your second beer, and so on.

*Stopping the additional rule starting 10/17/23 per Dan Grossman's complaints.

You must call the person's name, or point to who you are calling. If you don't call anyone's name and land your can, you must take the shotgun.
If you don't land your flip on your first try, you can take a second try, however, if it lands, you must take the shotgun with the person that you called.
The can must flip at least 50% min, there is no max.
1. Ex. The can lands upside-down, and it only turned 180 degrees. This will still count.
If there aren't any beers to shotgun, the shotgun can be taken the following week.

Strike Out = 30 Beers & Pink Tutu

If you strike out, you owe the team a 30-pack of beers & need to wear the pink Tutu until Coach decides.

Striking out looking or swinging. Foul out doesn't count.

Added Rule for Dylan: 1 Dizzy Bat Knocks Off 30 Beers
