==Throwing==
*A throw must be higher than a prescribed elevation. This elevation should be agreed upon at the start of the game. If a receiving team believes a throw to be low, they must announce this by calling “low,” or making the appropriate gesture while the die is still over the table. A throw may not be called low retroactively.
*The receiving team does not have to drink due to any events arising from a low throw (excluding the rare [[Beer die#Sinking|sink]]). The throwing team still has to drink for any penalties arising that arise from a low throw (e.g. missing the table, throwing short etc.)*Throws must be made underhand. If an overhand motion is used , the throw is considered “dead” and the rules listed above regarding the throwers thrower's and catcher’s drinking obligations are used.*'''Stambolich Rule:''' If a throw hits the ceiling of the room before hitting the table, no drinks can be assessed assigned to either team due to that throw (again, a sink is the exception).
*Against a team of two, the die must bounce between or over the receiving team’s cups to be considered good.
::*Against a single player, the die must leave the table over the short end of the table (not the sides) for the throw to be considered good.
*If the receiving team believes a throw to be outside, they must call “outside” or make the appropriate gesture before the die hits the ground. Outside calls can not be made retroactively.
*A throw which is acceptable in all other manners, but comes to a stop on the table is considered dead and no drinks are assessed, except in the case of the dreaded wah.
