Answer 1

1. Find a playing surface. You can use an officially sanctioned beer pong table or simply use a rectangular table such as one for ping pong.

2. Find players. Beer pong can be played one-on-one or with teams of two.

3. Fill the 16-oz plastic cups with beer. Open three cans of beer per side and use them to fill each cup about a third of the way. If you have fewer or more cups, you can use varying amounts of beer.

4. Prepare a water cup. While sanitation isn't exactly the cornerstone of beer pong, nobody wants to drink a tainted cup of beer.

5. Set up the cups. Arrange the plastic cups into a 6-cup or 10-cup triangle at each end of the table.

6. Determine who goes first. Many games are started by a member of each team throwing a ball towards the other team's cups while keeping eyes on each other. The first team to make a ball into the cup goes first.

7. Throw the balls into cups. The person or team going first attempts to throw a ball across the length of the table and into the cups of the opposing person or team. In some variations, the ball must be lobbed (not bounced), into the cup, but in others you can bounce the ball off the table and into the cup. 8. Usually the opposing team can catch or swat away a ball that has bounced once on the table. Usually, a bounced ball that lands in a cup is worth two cups. Typically two balls can be thrown each turn. After the turn is completed, the other team throws at the first team's cup, and the process repeats.

9. Remove cups. When a ball lands in a cup, that cup is removed from the table, and the team to whom the cup belongs must drink the contents of the cup. The remaining cups stay in their places, although in most variations of the game the cups are rearranged to form a smaller diamond, triangle, or line when a team has 4, 3, or 2 cups remaining.



10. Re-rack. Usually, each team is allowed two "re-racks" per game, in which the opposing team is required to rearrange their cups in a pattern such as a diamond or a sword, making it easier to make shots.

11. Behind the back. When you and your partner both make the same cut, it is worth two cups and then it's balls back. You and your partner get to go again but you must shot behind your back.

12. Touching the ball If you or your partner touch the ball before it goes into a cut or hits the table, they person that shot the ball gets another turn.

13. Keep throwing or hitting until one team has no more cups remaining. The object of the game is make a ball in each of your opponent's cups.

Answer 2

basically, you get two groups of friends on either side of a table. at both ends of the table are a pyramid of cups full of beer, vodka, etc. each team takes turns tossing a ping pong ball at the cups and trying to land the ball in. if you miss, you must drink a cup. if you make it in, the other team must drink the cup. you win by gettin rid of the other teams cups. the losing team must drink the remaining cups.
