Lobby The Lobster

This rule is sort of like a trick shot rule where you must lob the ball into a cup instead of shooting how you normally do.

Let everyone know on your turn that you are going to lob a shot by saying "Lobster" and then shoot.

You must say lobster and you must lob the shot in order for it to count.

The correct way to "lob" a shot is to shoot the ball up in the air so that it has a very high arc. 

Other players watching can determine if the shot was a lob or not. Players' wrists may not cross the edge of the table 

If you make your lobbed shot you get the ball back. However you can only make another "lob" shot for you to continue getting the ball back. 

Air Balls

Let's say you take a shot and miss the entire table. 

Meaning you didn't even hit the table on your throw. Ouch...

If the other team happens to catch an air ball before it hits the ground. 

The shooter must remove and drink a cup.

​If multiple airballs are caught in a turn then 2 cups get removed and drank.

Same cup

Your teammate and you are amazing and you just were able to sink the same exact cup on your turn.

Count it! In Maine players pull 4 cups when teammates make the same cup.

Third Times A Charm

After a team has made all of their opponent's cups.

The opponents still have a chance to come back with 3 redemption shots.

If they make any of the 3 shots then the game continues onwards until a winner is declared.

2 Re-Racks

Simple enough, only 2 re-racks allowed per game.

Re-racks can only be taken prior to a teams turn and not during a turn that is already going. 

The re-racks can be in any order and is entirely up to the shooting team's preference. 

The Troll Rule

The Troll Rule is hilarious when it happens.

Throughout a game if a player manages to not make a single shot the entire game.

That player must sit under the table and act like a Troll for the entirety of the next game. 

They must play the part or they have to sit under the table for another round until they do. 

Play the part by doing troll things like grabbing people's legs or or making weird troll noises!
