This is a great activity to run in most venues who have the space to hold a 2UP ring, as it creates a great atmosphere and interaction between your customers and staff.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
- 2UP Ring which you will need to source or hire locally. This can be a simple mat which outlines the ‘playing space’
- Ring Keeper (personal who keeps patrons off the mat, selects the ‘spinner’ and controls the game)
- 3 x Pennies
Consider who will run your 2UP on the day. It is certainly worth considering engaging a local sporting sponsor, rotary club or school to run 2UP. This is ensure their buy in and promotion of the day within the local community.
Please note: The following venues will be provided a 2UP kit from CUB. Please see the supplier promo on your OMG calendar for more details of the kit inclusions.
- Tacking Point Tavern
- Port Macquarie Hotel
- Moonee Beach Tavern
- Willoughby Hotel
- Revesby Hote
- Prospect Hotel
- Lakeview
If you are not one of the above venues, but would like assistance in terms of sourcing spinners and T-shirts for ringkeepers etc. please include this request in your proposal.
RULES & TERMINOLOGY FOR 2UP:
TERMINOLOGY:
Spinner: The person who throws the coins up in the air. The ring master will pick a ‘spinner’ from the crowd and call ‘come in spinner’ to commence play
Ringkeeper: Person who looks after the coins after each toss and controls play
Kip: A small piece of wood on which the coins are placed before being tossed. One coin is placed heads up, the other tails up.
Heads: Both coins land with the ‘head’ side facing up (probability 25%)
Tails: Both coins land with the ‘tails’ side facing up (Probability 25%)
Odds: One coins lands with the ‘head’ side up and the other lands with the ‘tails’ side up (Probability 50%)
Come in Spinner: The call given by the boxer when all bets are placed and the coins are now ready to be tossed.
GAME PLAY:
A person is selected as the ‘Spinner’ (generally greeted to loud calls of “Come in spinner!” by the rest of the players). The Spinner will be tossing the coins in the air using the KIP until they win or lose.
- Two Heads means the Spinner Wins
- Two Tails means the Spinner Loses
- Odds means the Spinner throws again
The Spinner is required to place a bet before their first throw that must be covered (equalled) by another player. If the Spinner wins they keep the bet and cover, otherwise it goes to the player who covered the bet. Those around the ring will also place bets against each other on Heads or Tails to agreed values.
COST TO A&M: This will be dependant on if you will be required to hire a ‘ring’ or mat. If this is required, please source a quote locally and include with your A&M proposal.
If you are looking to run your 2UP in an external space, you may need to consider applying for ‘Function License’ to extend your area. Please speak with Darren Williams on this however you will require a minimum of 28 days submission at a cost of $50. |
