Yes and no...boat racing is different because it can include other activities and doesn't end just there after you flip it over. I did this for the first time in Binaghamton in upstate NY so I doubt it's a midwest thing. There were lots of Canadian bros there too so that might have something to do with it.
Flippy cup: Divide a team into two equal numbers of people. Everyone is to have a cup with an equal amount of beer in it. Have the two people in the center drink their beer and then set in right side up on the edge of the table then flip it upside down. Then the next team member goes. The next team member may not go until the previous member has drank and flipped their cup upside down. The race continues until all of the members of one team are have flipped their empty cups upside down.
Flippy Cup (Central Michigan Style): Get a small group of people and divide them up into two even teams. Lets say we have 10 people so its 5 vs 5. One team gets on one side of the table and the other team lines up on the other side of the table so that everyone should have an oppenet straight across the table from them. Now everyone fills there cup up with beer and when everyone is full the games begin. You start from either end of the table. So lets say we start from the far left end. Once someone shouts go the person farthest to the left and his oppenet across the table from him will slam their beer and once there beer is gone they must move their cup to the edge of the table so half of the cup is hanging off the table then they must flip the cup using there fingers and have it land up side down on the table once this is accomplished the person next to you (your teammate) may begin drinking but they CAN NOT start until your beer is gone and you flipped your cup so its facing down on the table. Then you just keep moving down the line until the last person in your team has flipped there cup. First team to complete this wins. And the losers well the punishment is up to you for the losers.
Boat racing: In Boat Races there are 2 teams, each has its own side of the table. Each participant stands beside the table with a cup of beer in front of them. On the count of three, everyone cheers "GO, GO, GO, CHUG!" The first person in each team chugs their beer, then puts the cup on the edge of the table upside-down. They flip the cup until it is right side up by flicking it. When they have accomplished, the next person on the team goes, etc. After the last person in one of the teams has finished, that team has one.. and they will go on for the next game if there is another team waiting to play. Teams can consist of as many people as possible, depending on how long the table is.
