Hey guys, just curious what your thoughts are on changing the current MD Beer Pong rebuttal rules to reflect the WSOBP rules.
 
I used to be a big fan of the current rules because you always have a chance no matter how many cups back you are. But at the same time, it is becoming increasingly more easier to force overtime.
 
I think it would help bring a much more level playing field because the current rebuttal rules seem to benefit the best players and teams. I think it will also help better prepare us for the WSOBP because we will have more experience shooting rebuttals in this manner.
 
What do you guys think? I think Austin is planning on doing a poll but I wanted to see what you guys thought.

Also Jeff,  based on the way the poll is going,  I would like to be the 1st to thank you for single handily FUCKING UP MDBP!!   I also would like to say goodbye to 14ot games,  and all the excitement in MDBP.

How about Jeff versus Joey in a best of 13 series. Joey shoots both balls until he misses and Jeff shoots WSOBP style? Winner's rule sticks.

During the finals, it was basically Adam vs. Jamie, with neither partner providing much help.

Although i definitely didn't play to my potential, I would only hold your statement valid for OT.  Otherwise there was only a 3 cup missed shot differential between myself and Jamie the entire game.  If I remember correctly I missed 8 cups while Jamie missed 5.

By my count:
 
Jamie: 5/10 in regulation, 7/9 in overtime, 12/19 overall (63%)
Aaron: 5/8 in regulation, 1/8 in overtime, 6/16 overall (38%)
 
Ryan: 5/9 in regulation, 2/7 in overtime, 7/16 overall (44%)
Adam: 5/8 in regulation, 7/7 in overtime, 12/15 overall (80%)

I see the valid argument on both sides of this debate but I have to throw in my two cents...
 
Beer Pong is a team sport, bottomline.  It shouldn't be up to one player to decide the fate of a team.  With the current rebuttal rules if gives both players a chance but with the wsobp rules when 1 player is starting out, it doesn't give the other player a chance at all unless the first player hits the shot.  How is that a team effort?  Shouldn't both players have a chance to at least make some impact in how the fate of the game goes?  I like the one idea from the previous post of giving both players shots and then alternating after that....
 
What if both players get a rebuttal shot and then if they both hit, then they both get the balls back again but if only one player hits then they only get one ball back and the player who didn't hit the shot gets the rollback on that first and then they alternate with that one ball until one of them misses or they hit all the balls...This would keep the team dynamics of the game and still make it more difficult to bring it into overtime unless both players are on which in that case, they deserve to bring it into overtime anyways...
