How to Play
Official Flimsee Cups Rules:
- The team with the shortest player throws first. (1 on 1, or 2 on 2 )
- Each player on the throwing team throws one disc. When they finish it is the other team’s turn.
- On defense, players may not goal tend or touch sticks. On offense players must throw from behind the sticks
- The offense earns TWO points by throwing a Flimsee Disc clean through the opponents Flimsee Sticks, below the highest point of the Flimsee Cups, and above the grass (note: If both players on a team send it clean through on a single turn, the discs are sent back)
- The offense earns ONE point for each of their opponent’s Cups that are knocked to the ground, even if the disc does not make it on the fly.
- The Defense can prevent scoring by catching the Cup(s) as they are bounced off the Flimsee Stick(s)
- If there is any difference in setup or advantage to one side, teams must switch sides after one team scores six 6 points
- Team without the shortest player gets the last throwing attempt
- First team to twelve (12) points is the Winner!
- Teams do not need to win by 2 and it becomes sudden death if opposing team reaches 12 points on final throw.
- Have fun
Objective:
The objective: Score 2 points by throwing a Disc clean through the opponent’s Flimsee sticks, or 1 point by bouncing their cup(s) to the ground. The defensive objective is to prevent scoring by catching these cup(s) and protecting them from hitting the ground.
Here’s a more natural explanation of the game and some video from a very tight summer match.
Setup: The Flimsee field is really any patch of grass where the sticks are poked 5″ into the ground in 16″ pairs and again 35′ away forming a rectangle. Place Flimsee Cups loosely atop each stick and prepare for either intense or casual fun.
Disclaimer: Players of Flimsee games assume all responsibilities for their personal safety and the safety of others during setup, practice, and play.
