I have never heard of this strange cup game you odd people speak of.. On our team, the game obsession is "slaps." You know where someone calls out a letter and you have to make a hand symbol or you get slapped... great game to get your hands nice and raw right before a match

How does a picture like this get on CD and I miss it?

Anyway, I was part of the group doing this (not at this exact time though, so I'm not in the picture). It was quite fun, and I know we did it again the year after this as well. We did it for about 1 hour straight one of these years, I don't know which one though. We were thinking of doing it again this year, but so few people on our team still know it that we didn't bother. We tried to teach a few, maybe at the Champs this year...

Cool, still nobody has explained what the game is. I have a vague idea, is it where the cups get spun around in a fun pattern of taps and smashes before being passed to the next person?

Here's an explanation, with video: http://www.mbinde.com/games/cup-game/

I don't know what else is on the site, so don't look around too much.

Those #'s are rests for you musical types. Consider each beat equal and you've got 4 full measures. That should help with the rhythm.

Strangely enough, I learned the game in a similarly academic setting. I guess you never know what you're gonna learn that could help you out down the road.
