Pong 101

The Rules - Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Our Beer Pong Rules - Assassin

These are the rules that will change from house to house:

-How many racks each team gets.

-The guidelines regarding a "lean" or "reach". (These are important!!!)

-The "Gender Rules". Sometimes there are gender rules, sometimes only the female rule applies, sometimes there are none. To save a cup that is in danger of being sunk, a guy can "finger" it out as long as it is in a rotating motion in the cup. Likewise a girl is allowed to "blow" it out under the same circumstance. You are allowed to perform the action that you would perform in sexual foreplay. Loophole / inconsistancy - Gays, lesbians and bisexuals. What do you do when a guy blows a ball out, you say "Hey dude you can only blow balls if you blow guys", and he looks up and says "I do blow guys?". Well thats another decision based on house rules. With 10% of the population batting for the other team, it is a good idea to decide for your house whether you have "Gender rules", "Sexual Orientation rules", or neither.

-Bouncing - If bouncing is allowed, a player may bounce the ball off the table and into an opponent's cup. If he sinks the cup, the opponents must take away that cup and one cup connected to it on the formation. Defending players may swat the bounce though, which makes this move rather risky. If you hit you could get two cups, but you run the risk of wasting a throw.

-Overtime rules - See "Redemption" in Part 3.
