Getting under the opponent's skin, or "shit talking," is a very effective way to get them off of their game. When goaltending occurs the shooter is given the ball back to retake the shot. It may be a teams strategy to bounce and shoot at the same time to confuse the defense, a standard shot may not be swatted or that is goal-tending. If a player knocks over one of his own cups while trying to swat at the ball that cups is removed from the game.
As explained before a bounce shot may be swatted, but the swatting player must be careful not to knock over any of his own cups or goal tend on a standard shot. Only after both players have taken there turn at throwing may it be called.Ī player should be designated to watch over the cups at all times during and opposing teams turn of shooting. A rerack may not be used during the middle of a round of throwing. Strategy should be used to pick the right time for a rerack during the game. Each team is given only one rerack and may not be used until at least two cups have been made. Reracking refers to when the arrangement of the cups is changed after a shot is made. (If confused of this line refer the diagram of the table in the setup section.) Shot Technique When the rule is broken the shooter will be forced to retake the shot, and any cups scored on during this infraction will not count. This rule is commonly known as the elbow rule. This can be a real advantage for taller players to outstretch across the table. The center of the cup formation is used as a common boundary, particularly when playing on a lower or shorter table. The one in which it landed is pulled, then an additional cup is chosen by the team that was scored upon. This shot is a little more difficult than the others, so it is worth two cups. The ball can bounce many times then go into the cup, but should be avoided because of the bounce shot may be swatted away by your opponent's hands.
The bounce shot is performed by bouncing the ball off the table and into the opponent's cups. The standard shot is comprised of the player tossing the ball across the table and into an opponent's cup. Both players from each team must have taken a shot before the other team can shoot. Both players from one of the teams are given a ping pong ball to shoot and may do so simultaneously. The two different basic options a beer pong player has on offense are the standard shot and the bounce shot. The formation is assembled on each side of the table. The most common formation is an equilateral tringle with either 6 or 10 cups. In situations where the table is shorter, lower, or the teams are unevenly matched smaller cups may be used. Fill each of the cups a quarter of the way full. These cups have rigid-lines, which can assist in precisely measuring the amount of beer (or other beverage) in the cups. Solo or Dixie 16 ounce cups are the cup of choice for most beer pong players. In official beer pong games a 2'x 8' table is used, such as the ones sold on our site.
The game originated on an actual ping pong table, but can be played on any flat surface with enough surface space to hold the two cup formations a minimum of 6' apart.
