Beer Pong
One kit. Endless games.
Teams: Two teams of two players each. You can also play one vs one.
Cups: Ten plastic cups arranged in a triangle (4-3-2-1 rows) on each end of the table.
Liquid: Fill each cup about one-third full with beer or water. Keep an extra cup of water on each side to wash dirty balls.
Table: Standard length is 8 feet.
Basic Rules
Taking Turns: Teams alternate turns. Each player throws one ball per turn (two shots total per team).
Elbow Rule: A player's elbow must stay behind the edge of the table when throwing.
Removing Cups: When a ball lands in a cup, the opposing team drinks the contents and removes the cup from the table.
Balls Back: If both players on a team sink their shots in the same round, they get the balls back for another turn.
Bounce Shots: Bouncing a ball off the table counts as removing two cups (the hit cup plus one extra chosen by the opponent), but defenders are allowed to swat or bat bounce shots away.
Winning: The first team to eliminate all opposing cups wins, usually followed by a redemption round for the losing team.
