IBBU

This is the official (as official as it gets) site for everything beer bowling related at Nobel/Myrdal.

About

Beer bowling is a sacred and holy game that would be best described as an extreme drinking game sport. Two teams of two members compete in a raging battle.

All you need to play is:

  • 4 players
  • 4 chairs
  • 2 bottles
  • 1 ball
  • 1 judge

How does it work?

To compete on the official ladder, you will need to create an account. All players in a game (including the judge) must be registered on the site for the game to count. After registering, your account must be approved by an admin.

Current admins:

  • Alstrup
  • Henrik Juul Pedersen
  • Jesper GT
  • Mikki
  • Thue Iversen

To submit a match, go to the submit section (requires login) .

Now your match has been registered and (when the match has been approved) your score on the ladder updated.

Rules

» A link to the official rules on Google Docs «

Both teams position themselves directly facing their opponents. You sit next to your teammate with a bottle between your chairs. The objective is to simply hit the opposing team's bottle with the ball, knocking it over.

  • The judge decides everything unless otherwise stated in the rules. The judge has ultimative rights and can change every rule, as long as it is stated beforehand.
  • After every shot, the ball is given to the other team.
  • One player from one team cannot bowl twice in a row.
  • An official match is played in a BO9 format (first to 5 goals). If both teams agree, a second half can be played where the teams switch sides. In case of a tie, the judge can decide between sudden-death-bowling or a third BO9.
  • If a team's bottle is knocked over, they have to share one whole beer to be drunk immediately. Each team member must only take one draught to finish the beer.
  • The ball must hit your own half of the field before the enemy's. Otherwise will result in a penalty.
  • All penalties will involve drinking unless the judge makes an exception.
  • All players must always have a beer of their own open at all times (hyggeøl).
  • You must ask the judge for permission for everything you do. Exceptions:
    • Getting out of your chair to fetch a new beer.
    • Picking up the ball if it's in range from your chair.
    • Handing over the ball to your team mate.
  • Unless a point has just been scored, no more than 60 seconds can pass until the next shot.
