HOW TO PLAY
1

Set a tray with a teapot and a row of small cups at a table.

2

Each player takes a turn pouring a slow, steady stream from the pot into each cup without stopping the pour or spilling.

3

Judges watch for smooth, even pouring and consistent fill levels across all cups.

4

A spill or an uneven pour costs a point.

5

Time each player's pour; the fastest clean pour wins the round.

6

For a party twist, blindfold confident players for an extra challenge round.
