Round One

The Coffee Cup is played in a best of five bracket format, with a round being played every Tuesday

• Every game taking place during the Coffee Cup has the Coffee weather type
  • During Coffee weather, players can get Beaned by various kinds of coffee. This makes them either Wired or Tired, which, if not replaced by the opposing Modifier, gets removed at the end of every game
    • Wired: When a Run scores, each Wired player involved in the play (the Scoring Baserunner, Current Batter, or Current Pitcher) will make the run worth 0.5 more.
    • Tired: When a Run scores, each Tired player involved in the play (the Scoring Baserunner, Current Batter, or Current Pitcher) will make the run worth 0.5 less.
      • This makes it possible for teams to score partial runs, as well as statistically introducing "runs per run"
• Players on the Real Game Band team occasionally get "Percolated by the Tractor Bean." This removes them from play
  • Notably, this affects all of the team's Pitchers, and they are assigned Electric Kettle as their new sole pitcher
  • This also affects Parker MacMillan IIII, whose Twitter account goes dark, much as it did upon Parker MacMillan III's Incineration during The Mills v. MacMillan III
    • The Player Oops All Keepers (a representation of the Discord's moderators) receives a slightly different message:
      • Oops All Keepers was Percolated by the Tractor Bean! Oops All Keepers was fired into outer space!
