General Rules:
You must be well lubricated, drinking with regualarity throughout the events.
If you pass out / get denied access / get kicked out, you don't get any points, and will be mocked mercilessly
Game-specific rulse:
Bowling:
- Every third frame will be the "beer frame", whereby the lowest scoring person will have to buy a round of beers / pitcher for his lane. You an only be the beer bitch once.
- Verbal and gestural distractions are encouraged throughout the game, but no touching the bowler.
Johnny Knockout:
- You may know it as 500 up, but basically one batter, everyone else catches. Points for ball caught: Air-100, one bounce-50, moving - 25.
- random pick of batter, you bat for 5 minutes*, then randomly pick again (only bat once). After all have batted, tally points.
Bocce:
- throw the little ball, get close with the big ones - games go to 10*. Single elimination tourney, random opponents.
Testicle toss:
- It's like a bastardized horseshoes.
Look here
- again, 10 points* single elimination
Poker:
- NLHE tourney, no rebuys / add-ons. Drinking is mandatory
Drinks can be of your choice, beer, mixed, shots, whatever. For the bowling round though, only beers can be bought in the beer frames (i.e. we're not buying a double rye and ginger for the dude not drinking beer).
