I think house rules have the tendency to be "drastically and definitively" different depending on where you are on campus. I must say, I’ve always played with 2 re-racks at CMC.

I mean, I know that that's the norm in other places, but CMC has always maintained a different standard. Re-racks at 6-4-3-2-1 seems crazy to outsiders, but it speeds the game up, and allows more rounds. At a school that has regular Beirut tournaments with many participants, that's an important consideration. Also, it allows you to drink more quickly. I refuse to believe that the re-rack standards have changed so drastically and definitively in the 9 short months since I left. When did 2 re-racks become standard?!

However, in event of a tie game at the end, you can play six cup instead of 3 cup. These rules are pretty good. However, in event of a tie game at the end, you can play six cup instead of 3 cup.

If the straggler is sunk on that turn, 2 cups are removed from the rack." Erroneous! “If 1 lone cup is not touching the rest of the rack, each shooter can take 1 shot at it (upon calling “straggler cup”). If the straggler is sunk on that turn, 2 cups are removed from the rack.”

Erroneous!
