Spring Break
Abstract:
For a game that seems so universally played, no one seems to agree on a set of rules, penalties for table misconduct or a name. People seem to be divided into three categories: those who passionately call the game beer pong, those who only refer to it as Beirut and those who don't really care one way or the other....
Originally posted by The first version of the game that I played was called Beirut for the reasons specified by Miss Pickett. However, the rules are as such:
1) 10 Cups in pyramid shape, must use one standard size pitcher per side per round to fill the cups.
2) Balls that miss a cup, are dropped or are loose at any time during the game are up for grabs no matter where they are loose. Full contact is allowed for obtaining any loose balls. Descretion is advised if women are playing, beware of women who don't shave their pits.
3) Blowing is allowed however you have to be an ass to try that.
4) 2 Balls are in play at all times. You must finish with the two balls you start with. If one is lost each side must finish all of their remaining cups and the match is restarted with ten cups a piece. You can finish with "squashed" or "damaged" balls.
5) You must finish your cup of beer before you can throw.
6) Partners must alternate who drinks.
7) If a team sinks two consecutive shots they get the both balls back and can shoot.
8) Tables can be any size as long as the teams agree to compete using the specified table.
9) When all cups of an opponent have been sunk the other team wins. The loser must drink all of the remaining beer on the table that is in cups.
10) Pegging is allowed for the last remaining cup only. You can throw hard at the last cup to try to knock it over rather then sinking it. Any cups that are knocked over prior can be stood back up with no penalty. (The team with the knocked over cup just drinks less.)
