Beer Pong

This is one of my favorite games it might just be because I am good at it and because everywhere you go in a college town you can find people that are playing it. It is a game that can be very entertaining also. It is good because you can make it into a tournament type of game and have a lot of people involved. Some people have parties strictly off of a theme of a Beer Pong Tournament. This is a fun idea just have people bring a partner and get some huge posters and as people arrive add them to the brackets that you have created. I have seen people make trophies for the winner of the tournament and the trophies are a lot of fun since they are made out of beer cans many times.

Most people are familiar with the game beer pong but in case you are unaware I will explain it as simply as possible.

Need:

Table

20 cups (such as red solo cups)

2 other cups for water

2 ping pong balls

You will have 2 teams playing at a time each team has 2 players and is as opposite ends of the table. Each team gets 11 cups one for water to dip the ball in the other 10 is to make a triangle with just like bowling pins are lined up like on your end of the table. Then fill the cups to the desired about with Beer.

If you are playing at someone else’s house ask them what their house rules are since there are a lot of rules that some people follow others do not so I am just going to go over the basics that almost every place will have. If you are the host make sure you know what rules you want to play with. To decide who goes first a player from each team has a ping pong ball and looks the other straight in the eye and shoots without looking at the cups only at the opponent and whoever makes it in first gets to go first. From there both players on a team shoot one ball each at the opponents’ cups trying to make it in kind of like bozo buckets. If you make a ball in a cup the other team has to drink that cup, if you bounce the ball in the other team has to drink two cups. You want to be the one with cups left in the end, the loser is whoever loses there cups first. Also if both team mates make their ball into the cup they get them back and get to shoot again. Also for the last cup both balls have to be made in otherwise the other team gets a redemption type of chance where they get to shoot till they miss. If they miss then the other team wins. Also if a ball is bounced you can block it but if it is just shot you may not block the ball. Good luck playing!
