What you need:

• 24 cups, water cups are for pussies
• As much beer as you and your partner decide on, 3-5 beers per side

Rules:

• 2 Pyramids of 6 per each side
• Standard shot alteration, if both players on each side make it they get the balls back
• Rearrange pyramid after every shot, 5 cups 1-2-2 (house shape), 4 diamond, 3 triangle, 2 single file, 1 middle of table back edge
• When six cups are left on one side make a new pyramid
• Cannot knock last cup off of table, if this occurs fill halfway with beer
• Standard ending, with possible three cup overtime
• blowing is for bitches, no bouncing

What you need:

• 14 20oz dixie cups - this includes 2 for hot water
• 2 ping pong balls
• 2 players on each side (or 1 rules stay the same)
• 4 Natty Lights (or Natural Light - but we dont say those words) - 2 to each side spread among the 6 cups.
• Hand Made Beirut Table 8x4

Rules:

• 1. First shot of the game is played one ball on each side shot at the same time looking the opposing player eye to eye. if one team hits they get both balls. if both or neither hit the new team on the table shoots their ball back. if first game of night continue with eye to eye until only one team hits.
• 2. When a cup is hit you must pull that cup and drink before shooting again. Cups are not rearranged after the shot.
• 3. Hitting with both balls does not warrant getting them back but if you hit both balls in the same cup you win and losers must drink table.
• 4. No blowouts, no bounces, ball is always in play but can be swiped at or grabbed after it touches anything. if shot is grabbed before it touches something ball is given back and shot is redone.
• 5. When one team sinks the final cup, other team has a chance to tie. number of balls depends on how many are on your side. If winning team sunk final cup on first shot of their turn you get one shot to tie, if second shot you get two. if game is tied OT consists of one beer, three cups, in a pyramid. first shot is eye to eye and rules repeat as in rule one.
• 6. Any shot that misses the entire table causes the team to shoot to drink one cup.
• 7. If a cup is not over (besides screaming about wasting beer) if cup falls off table it is out of play same as if sunk, if it stays on the table it is filled again and put back in its place.
• 8. Game is over when last cup is hit and losers cannot tie. beer left over from winners is recycled (hey we are all poor college kids)
• 9. If game ends and losers dont hit a single cup they must strip naked and run around the building in birthday suits.
• ** Variation to get more drunk** - Same players use two pyramids of six on each side (one on each corner) double the beers. all rules are the same except rearrange to make a single pyramid in the middle when 6 cups are left on a side. We play this tournament style and will be your demise.

What you need:

• 10 cups arranged like bowling pins facing each other at opposite ends of a table, filled with COLD beer
• 2 cups filled with COLD water, 1 on each half of the table
• Teams of 2
• Two ping-pong balls

Rules:

• Challenging team takes first shots; after all, the winning team has to be confident enough that they can beat anyone faster than they can be beaten
• If a shot is made, opposing team drinks that cup
• When one team has made all ten cups, the opposing team must drink the remaining cups on the winning side
• If both shots are made, the balls come back
• Bounce shots are worth two cups, however, a bounce shot can be swatted or caught
• Only girls blow, guys don’t
• If a team swats a non-bounce shot, they must drink two of their own cups as a penalty
• Overtime: Once a team has made all 10, the other team now enters sudden death. They must make all remaining shots on the table, consecutively. If they fail, the game is over and they must drink all cups remaining BEFORE the start of sudden death. If they succeed, the winning team must drink all cups except one, and then a 1 on 1 overtime occurs with the same rules as regulation.
• No overtime rule: If a team makes 2 shots consecutively to end the game, no overtime is possible; game over. Same thing if 2 bounce shots are made in one turn to end the game, or if a bounce and a regular throw are made.
• Winners stay, losers rerack

What you need:

• 1 regulation ping-pong table, or a table of approximate dimensions
• 2 ping-pong balls
• 20 12-oz party cups are to be used, 10 per side, filled in a way so that one beer fills five cups.
• 2 water cups, one per side, filled with warm water. Balls should be placed in them preceding every shot.
• 2 players to a side
• 4 beers. Nattie Light is preferable. Dark beers, such as bass ale, are not. The truly hardcore have been known to play with grain punch, but don't expect to be on the table for long.

Rules:

• The "challenging" team, the one not previously on the table or the lower-seeded in tournament play, opens with one player taking a shot. If it is sunk the cup is drank, but the ball does not come back.
• Each player on the other team then takes a shot. If both players hit, it is a "double-up" and the balls come back. Players may yell "send 'em back" to remind the opposing team to send it back, or just to rub it in.
• When six or three cups remain they are rearranged in a pyramid. This is called a "re-rack." The team must call for a re-rack to get one.
• When one cup remains, it is centered and the back of the table. Again this must be called for by the team shooting at it.
• When the final cup is hit, if the second player hasn't hit yet he can shoot and if he hits the other team is denied redemption. This is also the case if the last two cups are hit consecutively to end the game. If the second player misses, redemption is earned. The team plays the same way with each player taking a shot and both players must hit to get it back. If one player misses and more than one cup remains the game ends.
• If the team is successful in redemption, over time occurs. The two final cups are replaced and the same rules apply as in regulation.
• Once a ball hits something (table, cup, wall, ceiling, etc.) the ball can be grabbed or swatted by the defending team. however, if it goes in, it still counts.
• Blowing is not allowed.
• If a cup is knocked over by the ball or the team controlling the cup, it is removed from the game.
• If goaltending occurs, a cup is removed from the game and the tending player is shunned. If it is not clear whether the ball was over the table and there is no impartial spectator to make a ruling, the ball is rethrown. Goaltending is allowed however, if the team fails to wash the ball before shooting. The ball is then washed and a do-over occurs.
• The losing team drinks the winning team's beer. In the case of a shutout or if one player is unable to hit, that player/team must sit under the table in shame for the next game.
• As the game approaches its end, whoever's next on the table fills the pitcher if there is a keg or gets cans of beer if that is all that's available.
• While waving hands over cups is very gay, it is allowed. My experience, however, has shown it provides more incentive to hit to further embarrass the waving player. Yelling in mid-shot is also considered gay, but there are no rules preventing it as of now.
• Get Drunk!

This variation can be added to any of the other standard forms of beerpong.

Additional Equipment:

• 1 or 2 beer bones/beer yards (2 if you are hardcore)

Rules:

• This version must be played on a ping pong table or a table in which you can get a really good bounce.
• You set the game up like you would for the version of your choice. Then put the beerbone full of beer in the middle of the table (If you're using 2 bones put them on each side of the middle).
• The bone is neutral which means any team can throw at them.
• The only way a score on the beerbone counts is if the ball is bounced in (it's too close to toss them in).
• The thrower is only allowed one bounce then the other team can stop the ball (only after the second bounce).
• When the ball lands in the bone, the other team must drink the bone before their next throw.
• You do not have to sink a bone to win.
• If you're really hardcore, after the bone has been hit and drank, you may refill and put it back on the table (usually this phase of drinking doesn't start until later).

Beer Bone Strategy:

• If you're getting beat bad, aim for the bone. At least make the winning team pay.
• If you winning big, aim for the bone you have some shots to waist make the losing team pay.
• In a close game don't aim for the bone, remember if you win you stay on the table and get more drunk. If they hit the bone and you win you drink more anyway and that's what you wanted.
• If you play with 2 bones or refill after a hit and the other team already scored a hit, aim for the bone. Show those MFers what it felt like.

What is needed:

• Ten 12 ounce cups per player
• Four beers per player (2 beers per 5 cups)
• One ping pong ball
• Heavy metal or Jimmy Buffett music

Set up:

Rules:

• Flip a multicolored paddle to decide who gets first throw.
• Each team throws one after the other, using only one ball.
• Defense is not allowed (no blowing, swatting or anything of the like).
• Once a cup has been hit, the player on the other team drinks the beer and replaces the empty cup at the exact place it was taken from.
• If an empty cup is sunk or knocked over, the player throwing must drink one of his/hers (any cup on their side of the table).
• The ball is dead upon touching the table or the ground (you can not bounce a ball in).

Here is how we play in the Maryland private schools, and what I feel to be the best set of rules around:

• 1. 10 cups are arranged into a pyramid on each side of the table. Each team of two evenly distributes two beers into their cups.
• 2. We play Rapid fire (which makes for fast paced games). This means the winning team from the previous game or the house owner starts with two of the three balls. The other team starts with one. The team with one ball shoots first, we don't use paddles, because one comes before two.
• 3. There is no turn taking here. If you miss, the ball is open to whoever gets the ball first. This is also known as full contact. You can shoot anytime you get a ball, but it must always be washed off in the water cup.
• 4. There are never any reformations, you have to be good enough to make any cup to play with us.
• 5. Blow outs are not allowed, unless you are a girl.... Only chicks can blow.
• 6. If one team makes three cups in a row, without the other team shooting, they get all balls back.
• 7. If at anytime a team sinks two balls in the same cup, a gangbang, the game is over.
• 8. When one team wins, the losing team gets their rebuttals. You get three misses, make it take it. If the losing team is unsucessful in making all rebuttal cups, each member of the team receives a water cup shot. If they make the water cup, they have won the chance to shoot at the beer cups again, make it take it, with only one miss allowed. If they are still unsuccessful, the game is over, and the losing team must provide the beer for the winning team's next game.

Well I have a variation that we play here at Susquehanna University(a small lib. arts school in central PA). Everyone calls it 100 cup Beirut but really it's 105 cups on each side of the table. Teams of four each with a case or 30 pack. Fill all the cups evenly if playing with 24 or evenly except the middle row which gets filled fully when playing with a 30 pack. Most of the tables here are 4x8 sheets of painted plywood. The triangles are centered with the back row of cups 3/4 of an inch from the back of the table and the cup rims touching. Play starts with a member from each team having a ping pong ball and tossing it on the count of three simultaneously. Whomever hits a cup first their team gets the first round of throws. The loser removes and drinks the hit cup. A full round is when each of the 4 players on the team has a throw. (4 balls are needed) Play continues in full rounds. If all 4 hit cups there is a rollback. No bounce. No racking till 20 cups remain, then it splits into 2 racks of 10. After 10 are left there is a rack of 10 which is constantly racked. Double-cupping does not apply and redemption would be in the game if that ever happened which it hasn't through time. Game time = one hour to one and a half.

What you need:

• 1. 2 Balls
• 2. 1 8 foot table complete with 10 holes drilled in it to fit cups so that they are about a quater of an inch from the table.
• 3. 20 16oz cups

Rules:

• 1. 2 Teams of 2 players
• 2. Each team starts with a ball and you count to three and shoot, from there it is free for all until one ball is sunk, then the cup is pulled and then sinking team gets both balls.
• 3. You then continue to shoot 2 balls a team, but if you sink 2 shots you get both balls back as a bonus
• 4. Rearrange the formation at 6 and 3 cups remaining
• 5. Last cup rules, if 2 balls are sunk in the last cup on one turn the game is over. If they sink one on the first shot the other team gets one chance
and 2 if they hit one ball on the second shot.
• 6. Overtime consists of 3 cups with same rules applying
• 7. Water cups are optional, but not required.

Exact same as University of Virginia rules with one crucial addition:

The Pool of Death.

In the middle of the table is placed a large bowl. Inside this bowl is poured one beer. Over the course of the night anyone walking by the table is encouraged to liberally contribute a portion of their beverage (whatever it may be) to the pool of death. Although unlikely, in the event of someone's ball unfortunately landing in the pool of death, he/she must proceed immediately to bong the pool's contents. Then he/she must proceed to the bathroom, where everything consumed will inevitably and quickly be emptied into the toilet. Brilliant.

I was wondering if i could contribute a different way of playing to your website. It involves 10 - 12 or 16 ounce cups on each side. You throw a quarter instead of a ping pong ball and the front cup is always full. You start off with 4 beers. If someone hits the front cup then you put another cup in front and fill it up. This is how we play at Clarkson University in Potsdam, NY.

To whom it may concern:

In your rules listing you have missed the UD rules. These rules were handed down from the beer pong gods themselves and are as follows:

• 12 Cups: 2 pyramids of 6
• 2 balls
• 2 teams of 2

Players can shoot at any cup on the opposing side of the table

Starting the Game "The Eyes Shot"
Each team starts off with a ball. One member of each team squares off against the member of the opposing team. The two players look at each other and on a three count the players shoot at the same time. Whoever makes it in the cup gets both balls, and the cup that is made is taken off the table and consumed. If both players make the "Eyes Shot," the "Eyes shot" continues until 1 team makes it and 1 misses.

Playing

• Each player on a team takes a shot, if the ball goes in the opposing team MUST DRINK before they shoot
• if both players make a cup they get both balls back
• NO BLOWING
• bouncing is allowed: you may bounce the ball in, however it must go in after one bounce, and if the ball bounces passed the plain of the pyramid it can be grabbed
• Consolidate at 6 cups, and ONLY 6 cups
• The ball is considered live untill the opposing player has complete contol over it

The Last Shot (hold on it gets complicated)

• 1)If there is 1 cup left on either side
  • If team 1 makes it on their first shot and misses on the second shot team 2 MUST make it on their first shot to send it into overtime. Team 2's second shot is only for not drinking.
  • If team 1 makes it on their second shot but not their first team 2 has two chances to send it into overtime. If team 2 makes both shots they get both balls back in overtime.
  • If team 1 makes both shots the game is over
• 2)If there is more then 1 cup l left on a side when a team has hit their last shot each player gets a shot. If they both make it they get the balls back. If they miss and a cup is still left on the table they lose.

Overtime

• 3 cup pyramid overtime
• unless a team hit two-in-a-row to send it into overtime each team receives a ball and they shoot the "Eyes Shot"
