Further clarifications and interactions

  • Uzbekistan can remove another landlocked cup with their ability, if they wish. However, this would trigger another use of the ability, and Uzbekistan would have to remove another cup.
  • During a Standard Game, if the opposition sinks a grenade in the centre cup (of the initial 17-cup setup), Uzbekistan would remove all 5 landlocked cups (plus the two other normal cups that are touching the centre cup). As Uzbekistan would also be required to remove an additional 5 more cups from the ability activation, they would have to remove 12 cups in total.
  • As landlocked cups cannot be used to end the game, Uzbekistan must leave one cup remaining. For example, if Uzbekistan had 4 cups remaining and 2 were landlocked, and the opposition sank both landlocked cups to trigger a balls back, Uzbekistan would remove all but one cup. As normal, the opposition would then get a chance to shoot balls back.
