What's
beer pong???
Well here below is a basic set of rules to start you off
and introduce you to the Best Drinking Game on Earth.
|
| People
Needed: |
4 people - 2 per
side or team.
|
| What
you need to play: |
(14) 12 ounce
plastic cups (6 per team and 2 water cups)
(2) Ping-pong balls (preferably more incase one gets broken
or lost)
(2-4) 12 ounce beverages per game
|
| The
Object: |
To sink all of
the other teams cups and continue on never getting off the
table!
|
| The
Setup |
Each team has
6cups on each side and they are set up like bowling pins (3
in the back, then 2, then 1) One either side of the table
you will set up a water cup for cleaning the Beer pong balls.
|
| Getting
Started |
Winning team shoots
first. If the night is just beginning or the winning team
has resigned then a player from each team will shoot on the
count of three while looking each other in the eye. If the
player from one team makes his cup and the player from the
other doesn't, the next player on the sinking cups team will
shoot. If they both make or miss, the next shooters on each
team will shoot in the same fashion. This continues until
the outcomes are different.
|
| Turns |
Each team shoots
twice per turn. If both players make their shots, the balls
are returned and receive an extra turn.
|
| Shooting |
The ball can be
thrown or bounced into the cup. If bounced the opposing team
may swat the ball away after the first bounce. If the ball
somehow lands in the middle of 3 or 4 cups all cups are considered
sunk. (very rare, easier when bouncing)
|
| Sinking
the cups |
A cup is sunk
as soon as the ball touches the contents of the cup. If a
ball is spinning in the cup you may attempt to blow it out
(girls only!) before it touches the cups contents. (Warning:
If the ball touches the contents and then you blow it out
and it lands in another cup, both cups are considered sunk).
If a team shoots and hit the other team's cup the team who
had the cup that was sunk drinks the contents. Team members
alternate drinking cups. If a person shooting knocks over
the other teams cup unintentionally the cup is considered
sunk. If you knock over one of your own cups, it is considered
sunk.
Cups are rearranged after 2 cups are hit to a diamond formation
(1 cup, 2 cups, then one cup). All taunting must be done behind
the table (if you interfere and hit the other teams shot you
have to take a cup away). Teams are allowed only one "re
rack" so choose wisely!
|
| Game
Ending Situations |
| Note: redemption
round means last turn by the team on the verge of losing.
Just as in a regular turn, if two shots are made in a row
you get another bonus round keeping the game alive.
A) The opposite team has 1 or 2 cups left. If your team
hits two in a row there is no redemption
B)If the other team has one cup left and you only hit one
out of 2 shots the other team has 2 shots (one for each
player) to sink your remaining cups. If they sink the rest
of your cups they force overtime.
C) The opposite team has hit a cup and there is one shot
left, the cup has not been finish and the second shot goes
in that cup in the hands of the opposite team member or
still on the table... GAME OVER!
|
| Overtime |
If a team hits
the remaining cups during redemption overtime is forced. Overtime
consists of each team setting up 3 cups in a triangle format
using a beverage to fill them up. The team who hit the last
cup first shoots first in overtime. Overtime is played like
a normal game with the same rules applied (i.e. overtime can
be forced again following the same process).
|
| Defense |
A team may do
whatever they feel necessary to prevent the opposing team
from making shots except: a.) crossing to the other teams
side of the table b.) physically interfering with the opposing
teams shot or c.) hiding the cups from clear view.
