Rules for the tournament and white-elephant participation are simple:

1. The foosball format will be the normal Hi-Low Handicapped DYP and is $5 per player. Loft matches the pot!
2. Participation in the foosball tournament DOES NOT require participation in the gift-exchange and vice-versa.
3. You must bring an anonymous gift to be able to participate in the gift exchange. Gift value should not exceed $20 in value.
4. No alcoholic gifts may be brought into the bar, but you may create your own "Drink on me" gift-card that can be pre-purchased at the Loft Again bar prior to the start of the game (to keep it anonymous).


How to play the white elephant gift exchange:

1. Each player brings one wrapped gift to contribute to a gift pool.

2. Players draw numbers to determine what order they will go in.

3. The first player selects a gift from the pool and opens it.

4. The following player then takes their turn and can choose to either pick an unwrapped gift from the pool, or they can steal a previous players' gift. If a player gets their gift stolen, they can choose a gift from the pool or steal one from someone else. A gift may only be stolen 1 time per turn. In other words, you can't steal it right back after having it stolen, but you can steal it back on the next players turn if your gift gets stolen again.

5. A player may only pick a gift from the pool or steal a gift a total of 3 times during their turn. Once your 3rd time is reached, it is the next players' turn. Also, a gift may only be stolen a total of 3 times during the entire game. Once it has been stolen a 3rd time, the final player in possession gets to keep the gift and they are out of the game.

6. After all players have had their turns, the first person that started the gift exchange is the last to finish. They have the option to keep their gift or steal from anyone else that is still left in the game. If they steal a gift from anyone, that person has to steal another gift. Remember a gift can only be stolen a total of 3 times. If there are no gifts are left to steal, the game is over.

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, please post them here. The rules above MAY be subject to changes or suggestions.
