Talk:Flip cup

Minor Rules
Added some minor rules to the general parameters of the game (things that seem to always come up during play). Additionally, Batavia flip cup needs more credibility. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sgcrooks (talk • contribs) 03:51, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Origin
Can anyone actually confirm the origin? If not I think it should be edited to say that it's assumed or something along those lines.

Rules
please stop making changes to the Flip Cup Rules Section. This section quotes directly from www.MajorLeagueFlipCup.com. Only posts from that source are allowed.

If you have variations, email them to mlflipcup@yahoo.com. We are in the process of adding a user submitted rules section to the site. Once it is live we will be able to add them as accredited on Wiki.

 * You do not own this wikipedia page, I would highly recommend looking over WP:OWN before making assertive statements like you just did. The policy in a nutshell is this If you create or edit an article, know that others will edit it, and allow them to. Also please remember to sign your posts. --ImmortalGoddezz 22:23, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm changing the first "upside down" under flip cup to "rightside up," as otherwise the cup would have to flip 360 degrees. I've played boat races at at least a dozen schools, and this is the way it's always been, so I'm going to change it...

I think it should be mentioned somewhere that "flip cup" is probably one of the most effective methods ever devised by mankind for spreading pathogenic illness.--216.73.249.235 15:04, 4 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Haha, probably. I probably even beats beer pong. -  hmwith  talk   15:06, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Better picture
If anyone has a better picture, please add it. The current one was uploaded by me, and it's better than nothing, but it doesn't show what the game is truly like. -  hmwith  talk   19:12, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Removal of Flip Cup Guys from the Article
I don't agree with the removal of any mention of this organization and referring to it as clean up. I have reinserted the link, which was removed as 'not notable.' Sports Illustrated, along with an entire press page that can easily be researched would show that the organization is most likely notable enough to merit an article on its own, so an external link should not be a problem. If the article includes the world's largest tournament, I see no reason to rid the article of the organizers of said tournament. Lawshoot! 05:02, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Batavia Downs or Indian Run Flip Cup
If this variation on the game is notable, there should be reliable sources that verify this and can be cited in the article. Please do not continue to re-post text with links to non-reliable sources such as Urban Dictionary. Everything counts (talk) 18:14, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Batavia Downs or Indian Run Flip Cup
Realize that this is a grass roots drinking game played on college campuses. I don't anticipate SI rushing their editors to write an article about a subsidiary game of flip cup in the near future. Did the original game of Flip Cup not exist before sports Illustrated wrote a story about it? Did beer pong not exist before the Wall Street Journal published an article on it? Feel free to leave a citation above the entry noting that the following section needs verification; but to say the game does not exist because there is not an official webpage for the game is fallible.

 * Unfortunately, That's not the way Wikipedia works! Information without secondary references can (and according to Wikipedia policy) should be removed. Etrigan (talk) 16:33, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Removal of newspaper article about Arcadia student
A newspaper article (http://www.chicoer.com/ci_21360854/new-details-chico-backyard-death?source=rss_viewed) was copied and pasted into this article, from start to finish. I removed it. Note that there are already two sources cited about the Arcadia student. Someone may want to add this article as an additional citation, but certainly articles should never be pasted directly into Wikipedia. Particle25 (talk) 13:34, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
