Things You'll Need:
- Plastic Cups
- Beer
- Ping-pong balls
- Ping-pong yable
-
Step 1
Place 150 cups on either side of the table. They should be placed in rows. Depending on the size of your table, the positioning of the cups may vary.
-
Step 2
Most plastic cups have a line at the bottom of the cup. Only fill the cups with beer to that particular line. If you desire, you can fill them up to about half way but since you’re playing with more cups it isn’t necessary.
-
Step 3
Have a team of (at least) three individuals stand on either side of the ping-pong table.
-
Step 4
Give one team two ping-pong balls and other team only one ball. You can determine which team gets two ping-pong balls to start the game by a coin toss, a “do or die” shot or any other method you prefer.
-
Step 5
Have the two players of one team that are standing on the outside take the two ping-pong balls. For the other team, give the player in the middle the ping-pong ball.
-
Step 6
Have all of the players toss their ping-pong balls at their leisure. Note that there should be a penalty for a player holding onto a ping-pong ball for too long before shooting, such as taking away a cup from his team.
-
Step 7
When a ping-pong ball enters a cup, remove the cup. Then the player standing opposite of the shooter who made the ball into the cup drink the beer that’s in the cup. For example, if I’m standing in the middle and I made my shot, the middle player on the other team must drink the beer in that cup. You cannot take a shot until you have finished the beer in your cup.
-
Step 8
If a team makes three consecutive shots without the opposing team taking a shot, that team gets all three ping-pong balls back.
-
Step 9
When one team is down to 21 cups, stop the game. Rearrange the cups so that they are in a pyramid formation. Put six cups at the base, five in the next row and so on until you have only one cup at the top. Repeat this if/when the opposing team is down to 21 cups.
-
Step 10
Continue playing with the same rules until one team is down to six cups. When one team is down to six cups, rearrange those cups into typical beer pong pyramid fashion. From here, continue playing with the same rules as above. Once again, repeat this step for the other team as well.
-
Step 11
When one team is down to a single cup and a shot is made into that cup, the game stops. From here, the other two players on the team that’s ahead gets a shot at the single cup. If one makes a shot, the player standing opposite of him is eliminated from the game. If both players make the shot, the game is over.
-
Step 12
From here, the team that has lost of all their cups gets what is called “redemption.” Shooting one at a time, the remaining players must make a shot into the remaining cups of the opposing teams. Once a player misses once, his turn is over. If all of the players finish with their turns and there are cups remaining, the team with the cups remaining wins the game of beer pong. If the team shooting redemption sinks a ball into every cup, the game goes into overtime.
-
Step 13
In overtime, the cups can be arranged in any pyramid formation that you desire. The same rules for play will apply in overtime.
