I personally think that Single's games are different in nature than doubles games, and hereby propose a modified version of the rules. The rules would be the same as the WSOBP rules in all respects other than the following exceptions: 1) Each player would should once. I.e., one ball per side. 2) There would be no rollbacks. I.e., you cannot hit more than one cup per turn. 3) After the last cup is hit, there is still an opportunity for redemption. Under all circumstances, the redemption would be unlimited 1-ball shoot-till-you-miss. 4) In the case of an overtime, the player to have hit last cup first starts with ball. Thoughts? -Skinny

Huge advantage? No matter who starts any game be it singles or doubles, they would most likely start with a 1 cup advantage. If anythin i think u should b able to shoot both balls wit no rollback or just play 1 ball as skinny proposed. Gettin to start AND gettin a ball back after ur first shot would give an even greater advantage!

Redemption is still unlimited one ball shoot til you miss.

No matter how you set the rules, someone is always going to have a 1 cup lead at some point of the game. Also, think of it this way, should you really be rewarded with another shot just for making your first one? At least in doubles you have to make two consecutive shots to get a ball back. P.S. You must have posted a response while I was typing this up. Last edited on Nov 19th 2009, 11:30 am
