Rules
► Divide the players into two teams and decide with a toss as to which team will start first.
► Draw a line to evenly divide the space between the two teams so that no one crosses the line.
► Place a beer bottle or can on each of the poles.
► All the players then stand behind the respective poles with a beer bottle or can in one hand, which makes it obvious that you have to throw as well as catch the Frisbee with just one hand. The game just gets more interesting and challenging as it progresses!
► Each team takes turns with only one of the player throwing the Frisbee at the other team's pole and knocking off the bottle or can. You cannot step in front of the pole while throwing.
► When in the defending side, each player of the team must be attentive so as to catch the Frisbee and/or the beer bottle. It is a team effort. Needless to say, you will have to hold a beer bottle or can in one hand at all times.
► You are not allowed to spill the beer at any point of time.
► The game ends when a team scores 21 points and beats the other team by 2 points.
Drinking and Scoring Points
► Only the team throwing the Frisbee will have a chance to score a point at that particular time.
► You will have to drink for each point you score.
► You will also have to drink if your team doesn't catch the Frisbee, even if, it is within the catching radius.
► You will get 1 point each time your team knocks the bottle off the pole by hitting the 'pole' with the Frisbee.
► If you catch the Frisbee below the knees, it will not be considered as 'catch-able' and no points will be given.
► If the opponent team catches the bottle or Frisbee before it hits the ground, the points become void. If they don't catch it, each player from their team takes a drink.
► Every time a player from your team knocks the bottle off directly with the Frisbee, you will score 3 points. If the opponent team is not able to catch the bottle or Frisbee, they will have to drink three times.
► If your Frisbee knocks the bottle off directly and both hit the ground, then you score 4 points.
► If the weather happens to be windy, and the bottle is knocked off by the wind at any point, it's a social drink, where everyone playing the game gathers and takes a drink.
► The team that loses, will have to drink the remaining beer.
