A full stack flip receives 2 bonus points. The stack will consist of 15 pogs (as opposed to a standard 24 pog stack). The Judge’s decision is final in all regards.

Two-team members from each team. Rules: A standard game of pogs but played in a Scotch Doubles format where teams take turns, and players on each team take turns in an 1A, 2A, 1B, 2B round. Each turn a player has one slam to flip pogs over. When pogs are flipped, they are removed and count as points for that team. The team who reaches 12 or more pogs flipped first wins the round. Each team will have 2 spin tokens. By playing these tokens they can spin the Pogtagon on the opposing team’s Slam. If the Pogtagon is spun, the Slam must take place before it stops spinning. Judge’s decision is final in all regards.Teams may consist of one to five players. Some events require all team members participate. Some events are individual events and teams may choose a representative for each. Players can only participate in one individual event along with all team events.
