Flip Cup is another commonly played game at college campuses and is oftentimes favored over beer pong for its easy setup and quick playing time. Since this is just Boat Race with a small twist, I’m assuming you’ve got your chugging skills handled and only need tips on how to flip. This is where most people let their teams down by being unco-ordinated but it’s actually incredibly simple to master this technique.

Do NOT flip the cup high and hard into the air like most people do. Instead, when the edge of the cup is over the lip of the table, simply pull it up and away from the table smoothly with your fingers at about a 45 degree angle. Usually this will cause the cup to roll forward onto its lip and then settle on the table having completed its required rotation. Since the cup has such a wide top you have a lot of room for error.
