Poll: Do you sit in front of the cup holders, or between them? (1 Viewer)

[Ben8257]

In Between for me. However, caveat: I do prefer, cup holders in the playing surface rather than on the rail. Yes, I'm the only person on the face of the earth that prefers them like that, LOL!!

There's a design for ya @ChaosRock I'm with you on not in the rail. Having trouble finding this guy, build a these tables in Maryland but craigslist add disappeared and cant find a website and cant find any info on the web for table builders in maryland... hopefully he hasn't packed up shop I'm hoping to get 2 matching tables made. Never heard of the double cup holders guessing you can buy them somewhere or have super deep holders maid to where top of bottle is only a few inches above the surface.

It seems to me having a cupholder race track takes too much space in detriment of playing surface, no? Not a whole lot of benefits imo as well. I could be wrong.

Also, if the cup holders are too deep, it might get in the way of leg room.

Biggest problem is that the cupholder racetrack is never level with the felt, and cards get frequently damaged as a result.

Yep! I totally agree. Although that is not that different from tables with no racetrack but with raised rail.

No way, how'd you get one of the tables off the boat

 

[k9dr]

I have NEVER seen somebody choose directly in front of them when given an option.

Note location of cupholder and awesome chip stack too

 

[BGinGA]

You look uncomfortable.

You look uncomfortable.

Not at all - my drink is perfectly positioned to prevent spillage. The only risk is when my chip stack gets too tall, some chips could fall in my drink or Jon Snow might go for a swim

The results are in, and in line with the cup holders is the clear winner.

Thought I would post a picture of the final table design for those who are interested...

Note - image removed Sept 17, sorry

I'd probably want Yosemite Sam's or Daffy Duck's places every time! Or maybe Foghorn Leghorn's...!

I'm trying to get cards made up with the characters on them, then draw cards for position (otherwise I'm going for Marvin or Wile E. every time)

Looks like a fun table. Have you considered rotating the characters 90 degrees (do that the head is by the cup holder)? I'm jut thinking that as you're looking out at the table, more of the characters would be right side up that way.

I do too if you’re going to have holes drilled in your table. I prefer cup holders that sit on the table with the slidey edge that goes under the rail (that can be removed if you’re nit using )

No, I hadn't thought of that. The idea is that seating position would be determined by drawing cards with characters on them, and the person sitting at a particular position would be looking at the corresponding character.

Understood, and that does not change my suggestion. The idea being that instead of making the image right side up for the individual player, you could make it right side up for most. Just a thought to consider. I'm acutally not sure which is better.

Cool idea for the felt. Definitely unique and fun.

Technically don’t we sit behind the cup holder?

 

[LotsOfChips]

I guess we sit with the cup holder in front of us. Whether we are in front of or behind the cup holder is probably dependent on which direction the cup holder is facing

@MatB gets the Pepe LePew spot.
