BEER PONG RULES

Beer pong can be played with many rule variations, but here are the basics to get you started.

  • The first team to eliminate all of their opponent's cups wins.

  • The losing team drinks any remaining cups on the table.

  • Teams can be formed of 2 or more players.

  • Arrange six or ten cups in a triangle formation on each side.

  • Pour beer into the cups until each one has been filled about halfway.

  • Each player shoots once per round.

  • If a ball lands in a cup and stays in it, the opposing team drinks the beer in the cup and removes the cup.

  • Do not throw again until a player has finished all the beer in their cup and removed it from play.

  • Players can bounce the ball into a cup.

  • If a team makes both shots in a row, they get both balls back and can shoot again.

  • The player’s elbow must always stay behind the edge of the table when throwing. If it doesn’t, the shot taken does not count and the other team gets the ball.

  • Sometimes, players will offer Redemption after a team makes a winning shot. In Redemption, the losing team is allowed to toss once more. If they land the ball into a cup, the winning team’s toss is cancelled and the game resumes.
