Further clarifications and interactions

  • During a Standard Game, if the opposition sinks a grenade or balls back that removes more than one of Botswana’s last three cups (the Diamonds Are Made Under Pressure cups), Botswana receives a redemption shot for each of those cups. However, like normal, if the grenade or balls back removes all of Botswana’s remaining cups, they do not receive a redemption and they instantly lose the game.
