SPUD is a splendid game invented by four advantageous young gentlemen with a knack for good times and an affinity for old fashioned . |
|||
'Twas a crisp spring morning in Louisville, KY; March 11, 2003 to be exact. A handsome fellow who goes by the name Rev. Z. Spencer Price was tired of playing old fashioned 8-Ball, 9-Ball, straight pool, etc. He wanted to quit playing and started rolling the pool balls with his hands. His guest that morning, a man rumored to be from the Orient, Graeme Wicks, stood across from his comrade and they took turns rolling one ball at a single ball, trying to knock the latter in a pocket. Two more comrades of the gentlemen soon arrived, the aptly named Jeff Jones and Jared Kaelin. They soon started to enjoy the new activity their friends had made, and after some time, rules evolved, and behold, SPUD was born. The rest... is history... |

<big>'''Rules'''</big><br /> |
|||
SPUD is a game for 2-unlimited players. |
|||
There are two balls involved. One ball is designated as the striking ball and the other is designated as the target ball. |
|||
:Players must be able to differentiate between the balls, though it does not matter which two are used, only that they can be told apart. |
|||
The game is played on a regulation sized pool/billiards table. |
|||
:Any other table used is an abomination to the game and anyone that suggest otherwise should be ridiculed without end. |
|||
There are no spacial requirements around the table. (Keep in mind, less space makes the game more destructive, and fun) |
|||
<br /> |
|||
SPUD is an elimination game. Elimination is achieved when a player gathers the letters that spell the word SPUD. And no, it's not just like HORSE<ref>Baseketball. Movie. Coop says it to that douchey guy at that party that looks like a docker's commercial</ref> |
|||
There are many ways to be assigned a letter. |
|||
# The player before you knocks the target ball into a pocket |
|||
# You fail to hit the target ball before it stops moving |
|||
# You fail to hit the target ball in 3 attempts on a serve |
|||
# You knock the target ball off of the table |
|||
# You deliberately obstruct another player from their turn. |
|||
# You release the striking ball before you get in the designated throwing area |
|||
Each player is designated a place in order (i.e. 1-4). Any method of determining order is accepted. |
|||
Each player's turn goes in order, each taking as many chances as they need to hit the target ball with the striking ball. If the striking ball goes into a pocket, this is viewed as a scratch, and the player's turn continues as if they had never hit the target ball. |
|||
* Players must be behind either of the small sides of the table. |
|||
* One leg must be on the ground at the time of release of the striking ball |
|||
:*Players may grab the striking ball from any angle of the table, but must move to the appropriate throwing area before release of the striking ball. |
|||
* If players strike the target ball into a pocket on the side of the table they are on, this stops play and play starts again with that player serving, unless the striking ball goes into a pocket, which would result in that player getting a letter. |
|||
When a player gets all four letters, they are eliminated and wait for the next game to start. |
|||
:NOTE-If all remaining players have the letters S-P-U, the contest is now officially a SPU-off (spoo-off) and this event must be announced under penalty of state and in some cases, federal law. |
|||
The winner of the round is assigned one point and has the honor of choosing their order for the next match. Players are allowed to join late inbetween matches, though they are at a disadvantage because they have 0 points, and choose the last spot in the order. |
|||
Play to One Million Points. |

|||
<big>'''Rumors'''</big><br /> |
|||
Some may argue that this game was not invented in Louisville, KY by the four friends Rev. Z. Spencer Price, Graeme Wicks, Jared Kaelin, and Jeff Jones. Such rumors are false. Information about the origins of the game can be found in the article above, and must be believed because it is on Wikipedia, and is therefore, fact. Much like facebook, History Channel and Discovery Channel, anything on Wikipedia is true, end of story. |
|||
All other "creators" of the game are wrong because their version blows<ref>God came to them in a dream and told them this was true</ref>. |
