Here is a list of the basic rules which we will explain:. First things first, you need the essentials. You can use any long rectangular table to play on, but we recommended using a regulation size beer pong table. Each game requires 22 cups total 10 game play cups and 1 water cup per side. The cups in play are set up in a triangle shape with base of the triangle closest the edge of the table. The third thing you will need are two ping pong balls for shooting.
The first team to make it goes first. If both players miss, or both make it, their teammates now shoot. The cup s that are made a thrown shot lands in a cup are not removed from the game. Both balls are given to the team that makes the shot, and a round of gameplay commences.
After the first game of the night, the winners of the previous game shoot first in the next. When the elbow rule is in effect all players must make sure their elbows do not go past the edge of the table during the act of shooting.
If these rules are violated the shot does not count. This rule is usually the most argued rule. Re-racking is the rearranging of cups during a game. This can only be done twice per team each game. The only times that you are allowed to re-rack is when there are 6, 4, 3 or 2 cups left for your team. If you and your teammate both make your shots during your turn, you get both of the balls back. When you get the balls back you may not request to re-rack until your next turn. The last cup remaining may always be requested to be pulled back and centered.
We like this rule as it helps keep focus to the game, therefore speeding things up. Bouncing a ball off the table and making it in a cup removes 2 cups from the beer pong table. The cup that ball falls into and a cup that the defending team chooses to remove. The only time that a bounce does not remove 2 cups is when there are only two cups remaining.
Bouncing at that point is basically useless. The defending team has the opportunity to swat a bounce at any time.
You need to get familiar with the way the ball bounces off the table before you can really line up your accuracy. Trolling in beer pong is a powerful thing. It becomes a 1 versus 2 scenario, making it easier for you to win. If you can effectively turn someone on the enemy team into a troll, you can easily win the match as a result.
Time to land the death cup on their side. Many people will assume that this rule is off the table, so you have to schmooze a bit. In that way, it is similar to calling island.

Once a ball lands in a cup, the cup is taken away and the opponent then drinks the contents of the cup. If both teammates hit cups, the balls are rolled back and they get to shoot again.
Winner of the game typically stays on the table and awaits next challenger. A list is generally formed to keep track of who is next to play. If both players miss or both players make it, their partners now shoot. This goes on until one person makes it and their opponent does not. The hit cup is not removed; the ball is taken out and rolled back to the team that sank the shot If it is not the first game, the winner of the previous game shoots first.
This is usually an unspoken rule at house parties or at least until someone breaks it. When shooting, players must keep their elbows behind the edge of the table.
If a wrists rule is in effect, players must keep their wrists behind the edge of the table. Breaking this rule results in the shot not counting. If the shot is made, the infracting player may step back and re-shoot the ball. Twice per game, each team can request the cups to be rearranged at the start of their turn. This is known as re-racking, racking, or reforming. Racking may take place when you have remaining cups in the amount of 6, 4, 3, or 2.
If you get balls back after making 2 in a row, it is still considered your turn and you may not get a rack.
If requested, Last cup may always be pulled back and centered. You may have heard the expression Guys Finger, Bitches Blow during a rule summary at the beginning of a game. Blowing is when the ball is spinning inside of a cup and it is blown out by the defending team.
If not specifically called at the beginning of the game, neither fingering nor blowing count. This is due to the cheapness of the rule and the easiness of a player to blow out the ball, even after it has come into contact with the beer.
At any time in the game, a player may ask for the cups to be fixed. This is not to get confused with racking. This is simply putting the cups back to where they would have been had they not slid or been knocked out of position.
Getting a beer pong rack helps keep things in good order. If this cup is made by the opposing team, the game is automatically over and the team to sink the bitch cup is victorious. If the cup is still on the table and not in a hand and both balls land inside, it is 3 worth cups 2 additional chose by defending team. This is most common if players shoot at the same time or if the defending team is not paying attention. After shooting if the ball rolls back to the shooter without hitting the floor you may also grab it mid-air , they can shoot it again behind the back.
The shot counts as one cup if made. This rule has many different aliases, but the concept is the same.
