Friendly Version
Competitors:
One player (singles) or one team of two players (doubles)
at each end of the table.
Setup:
1.)
The table should be the size of a regulation ping pong table,
but any table at least 7X4 will do.
2.)
Each player/team sets up two cups in an agreed upon formation
on their side of the table. This may involve one cup in
each corner or two cups somewhere near the middle. There
is room for flexibility here. The only requirement is that
each player/team's formations must be parallel (the same).
Each cup should also start out filled halfway with beer
or one full beer per cup, depending on how much you want
to drink in a game. Examples are provided below.
Start
of the Match:
1.)
Whoever is running the table, defending their championship
belt, or the visiting team gets to serve first.
During
Gameplay:
1.)
Volley begins with a player serving the ball to the opponent.
A serve consists of a player hitting the ball off his paddle,
the ball hitting his side of the table once, bouncing over
the net, and bouncing on the opponent's side of the table
once.
After
a legal serve is made, volley ensues until one player either
hits or sinks one of his opponent's cups, a player hits
the ball out of bounds, or a player fails to return a shot
into his opponent’s half of the court. Whichever player/team
did not ruin the volley gets to serve for the next volley.
When
a player’s cup is hit by an opponent, he must retrieve
the ball and place it on the table while shouting “STOP”.
When
a player hits an opponent’s cups, he is to pick up
one of his own cups and begin drinking its contents as quickly
as possible until the opponent places the ball on the table
and shouts “STOP”.
For
a singles match, a player must only attempt to drink the
contents of one cup at a time. He may not drink his second
cup until the first one is empty.
If
a player sinks a ball into one of his opponent’s cups,
the player automatically gets to drink the remainder of
his cup and remove it from the table. For a singles match,
the player must remove the cup with the least amount of
alcohol in it.
End
of the Match:
1.)
The match ends when one player/team has drank both of their
cups. This team is declared the winner.
