Flip the Beermat

The simplest and most chaotic event. Hang a beermat over the edge of the table and flip it into the air — catch it cleanly to score. Pure coordination, nerves, and pub skill.

Players Any number
Equipment A table and a stack of beermats (at least 10 per player)

Setup

  1. Each player sits or stands at the edge of a table.
  2. Place a beermat so it overhangs the table edge by about half its width.

How to flip

  1. With your dominant hand held flat, palm up, strike upward on the overhanging part of the beermat to flip it into the air.
  2. Catch the beermat cleanly between your fingers — one clean grab, no juggling or trapping against your body.

The contest

  1. Players start with 1 beermat. Each round you get 3 attempts to flip and catch your stack.
  2. Catch on any of your 3 attempts and you progress to the next round. Add one more beermat to the stack each round — round 2 is 2 beermats, round 3 is 3, and so on.
  3. Fail all 3 attempts and you're eliminated. Your score is the highest stack you successfully caught.

Finishing order

  1. Players are ranked by the highest stack they successfully flipped and caught.
  2. If players are tied on the same number, they have a sudden-death flip-off at that stack size until one catches and the other doesn't.

Scoring

Points are awarded based on finishing position across all events. Highest total wins The Coopies.
