Real beer pong

Real

Set up: Played on a regulation ping pong table or two tables set apart to have the same dimensions as a ping pong table. Unopened cans of beer are placed on the corners of the table. Teams of two stand on opposite ends of the table. Only one ping pong ball is needed to play.

Play: The team to go first is decided by a coin toss or any other acceptable method. The objective of the game is to finish your team’s beers quicker than the other team. Each toss there is a team on defense and a team on offence. When your team is on offence one player tosses the ping pong ball while the other prepares to drink. When you toss you try to hit one of the other teams cans. If you miss there is no play and the ball is dead. However if you hit one of the cans the ball is in play. During the time that the ball is in play the offensive team chugs their beer. The goal of the defensive team is to take the ball out of play by retrieving it and touching it (in control) to their side of the table. Once this is accomplished a referee or a player if lack of a ref yells “down� this signifies the end of play and players must stop chugging. Teams switch every throw between offence and defense. Players also switch throwing

A impartial referee is suggested.

Rules:
• The beers remain unopened until a hit is made. There is no defensive play on this first throw, commonly called “hit to open�. Once an initial hit is made normal play continues. Each team must “hit to open� before drinking.
• Must have control of ping pong ball when “down is called�
• Any spills are penalized by allowing the opposing team a number of seconds decided on spill size.
• No dents can be made to the can as to affect the balls bounce
• Two time outs are allowed per team each game
• If a throw knocks off the players beer a penalty will be assessed against the defensive team
• A player is allowed to hold their can as long as their fingers do not touch the front or top surface of the can.
