How would you guys handle that?
The reason I ask here and no in "Questions" is because I am curious to the rule variations that come up surrounding this one off shot.
March 1, 2010 at 12:16 am #35521Like many have said before… its all luck. If you can prove to the people that you can do it over and over again, then there might be a 1 in a million shot of making that a rule.

I’ve had the unfortunate pleasure of this happening in a huge spot in a tourney once. The shot is counted as a MISS if you’re playing with any kind of "official" rules. In house parties, however, I’ve seen this count as 3 cups (one cup for each that the ball is touching)
March 1, 2010 at 2:28 am #35524Well it didn’t make it IN a cup so why would it count?

Yeah it pretty much depends on if this happens at a regular tournament or at a house party type event. In mostly any tournament you go to this will just count as a missed shot.
At someone’s house or a party of some type (assuming it is part of their rules) I have seen it go by 2 different rules. The more common of the 2 would be that this counts for 3 cups (one for each cup the ball touches like Barry said). Other times I have seen it mean the game is over.
Obviously I wouldn’t want there to be this rule at a tournament, but I have no problem with it being a part of someone’s house rules. It happens so rarely that it will not be too much of an issue. I realize it is all luck, but hey it gives people a reason to get excited during a game and moves it along during a party. "House rules," to be honest, can be a nice break from tournament style play at times.
March 1, 2010 at 7:24 am #35526This actually happened to us day 3 against the Blondies Vegas team.
We were all sort of in shock and just kinda looked at it for about 5
seconds and then I snatched that ball up so quick because I
thought just our luck some freak gust of wind would blow it
right into a cup. Anyhow, to answer your question like
everbody else has already, no it would not count as hit cups.
At least not at the WSOBP.March 1, 2010 at 2:48 pm #35527just kinda looked at it for about 5
