  • Currently, the official WSOBP rules are geared specifically towards the main event, which of course is a doubles event.
     
    I personally think that Single's games are different in nature than doubles games, and hereby propose a modified version of the rules.
     
    The rules would be the same as the WSOBP rules in all respects other than the following exceptions:
     
    1) Each player would should *once*. I.e., one ball per side.
     
    2) There would be no rollbacks. I.e., you cannot hit more than one cup per turn.
     
    3) After the last cup is hit, there is still an opportunity for redemption. Under all circumstances, the redemption would be unlimited 1-ball shoot-till-you-miss.
     
    4) In the case of an overtime, the player to have hit last cup first starts with ball.
     
    Thoughts?

  • how about if you hit your shot, you get a rollback, so you could hit 2 shots in one turn?

    i think thats a good idea - a rollback seems necessary otherwise its going to be whoever gets to go first gets a huge advantage.

    Huge advantage? No matter who starts any game be it singles or doubles, they would most likely start with a 1 cup advantage.
     
    If anythin i think u should b able to shoot both balls wit no rollback or just play 1 ball as skinny proposed. Gettin to start AND gettin a ball back after ur first shot would give an even greater advantage!

  • When I play singles, I always play world series rules except....each turn is shoot until you miss with a three cup limit. Redemption is still unlimited one ball shoot til you miss.

    Haha, yeah how is a 1 cup lead, a huge advantage? No matter how you set the rules, someone is always going to have a 1 cup lead at some point of the game.
     
    Also, think of it this way, should you really be rewarded with another shot just for making your first one? At least in doubles you have to make two consecutive shots to get a ball back.
     
    P.S.
     
    You must have posted a response while I was typing this up.
