James Gator League: The Official Rulebook

Be the first to 10 points in 15- minutes, have the most points when Time Expires, or land the Gator inside the glass for an Instant Win.

The Gear

• The Gator: One plastic gator (from the Outback croca-drink).

• The Targets: Cocktail glasses filled ¾ full, with ice and beverage of choice, each with 2 straws.

• The Field: A table or bar. Mark a throwing line 10-12 feet away.

Scoring (The Points)

• Straw Snap (+1 or +3): 1 point for one straw you knock completely and 3 points for both out of the glass.

• The Splash-Out (+1 for each piece of ice): Land in and out of the glass and knock an ice cube onto the bar/floor.

• The Floor Finder (+1): If the Gator hits the floor after your toss, you get a point (even if it hit the glass first).

• The Instant Win: Land the Gator fully inside the glass. Game over. You are a legend.

Penalties & Drinking

• The Airball (-1): Toss it over the bar without touching a single thing? Lose a point and your team sips.

• The Spill: Knock the glass over? Opposing team gets +1 bonus point and you have to clean it up.

• Standard Sips: Opponents sip once for every point you score.

• The Finishing Move: If someone hits an Instant Win, the losing team finishes their drinks.

Pro-Tips

• The Rinse: If the Gator hits the floor, rinse it. Nobody likes a gritty Gator.

• The Rainbow: Arched tosses tend to be best for a gator walk off win.

• The Strategy: Aim for the rim. It’s the best way to trigger a Straw Snap or a Floor Finder in one go.
