People Needed:
• 2 or 4 people (head to head or 2 on 2)

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
• An official beer pong table with proper dimensions.

-(8 feet long – 2 feet wide – about 27.5 inches tall)

Object: To sink all of the other teams cups.

1. Starting: Winning team shoots first. If the night is just beginning or the winning team has resigned, beer pong rules state that a player from each team will shoot on the count of three while looking each other in the eye. If the player from team X makes his cup and the player from team Y doesn’t, the next player on team X 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.
2. Turns: Each team shoots twice per turn. If both players make their shots, the balls are returned and receive an extra turn.
3. Shooting: According to official beer pong rules, the ball can be thrown or bounced into the cup. Your elbow may not be allowed to cross the end of the beer pong table while shooting. If leaning is permitted, you can lean over the table but may not touch. If the ball somehow lands in the middle of 3 or 4 cups all cups are considered sunk – very rare that happens…
4. Sinking 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 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.

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.
