I really like this entry. I think it's nearly ready for the edited guide, although there are some fairly minor points that need to be cleared up first.
1)You mention that the ping-pong balls should have a distinguishing feature, but I can't see a reference to why this is later on in the entry.
2)In the bowling section, you say the cups should be put in a formation 'like in bowling'. Perhaps this should be 'like the pins in ten-pin bowling' as this doesn't make sense in other sorts of bowling (crown green bowling for instance)
3)There might be confusion in the phrase 'each team should take two shots at a time' (In the gameplay section)- I assume you mean that each team has two throws per term, rather than that they throw two balls in one go which is how this sentence could be read. Perhaps something like 'each team takes two throws on their turn, then play passes to the other team', or something equivalent.
4)The phrase 'Each member of a team' seems a bit long-winded way of saying 'Each player' in the same section. Also, I think that should read 'each player on their turn...', to make it clear that players should take turn to throw (as I assume you mean here)
5)In the bit about 'Psychouts' you say that ' if a cup is hit while a psych-out is being performed, that psych-out should be taunted ruthlessly when the psycher is shooting' - This seems to suggest that a psychout is a player rather than an action performed, as I don't think it makes sense to taunt an action. Perhaps deride would be better here, as both can apply to actions, or perhaps just a mention of taunting the psycher when they are shooting would be better.
Apart from that, I can't see anything else worth bringing up, so I'll stop now. Overall this is a good entry, so well done Lochinvar.

Excellent -  just the sort of intellectual pursuit that plagued my younger years

Okay, I think I've addressed everything mentioned. Anything else?

Your Guide Entry has just been picked from Peer Review by one of our Scouts, and is now heading off into the Editorial Process, which ends with publication in the Edited Guide. We've therefore moved this Review Conversation out of Peer Review and to the entry itself.
If you'd like to know what happens now, check out the page on 'What Happens after your Entry has been Recommended?' at EditedGuide-Process. We hope this explains everything.
Thanks for contributing to the Edited Guide!
