Game setup:
All you need is a table, 22 red solo-cups, plenty of Ping-pong Balls and a lot of beers.There is usually two teams each with two players but can also be played as one on one. The cups are set up in a pyramid style with 4 cups in the base followed by a 3-2-1 fashion.The remaining two cups are placed off to the side of each players setup and is designated as a water cup.The water cup is used to dunk the all between shots in order to avoid dirt particles to travel from ball to opponents cup.The players begin the match by both components starting with the ball and throwing them simultaneously while staring each other in the eyes.  Once a player makes the eye-to-eye shot that team will receive both balls and the game will proceed. The objective of the game is to sink a shot into all your opponents cups until there are no more left. At the same time you and your partner must work together to play defense and avoid losing cups. After a player makes a cup the opponent side must pull the cup and drink the contents inside the cup.


Rules:
Elbows must remain behind the table when preforming each shot.There can be no interference with the opponents shot or there will be penalties subjected and a re-shot for the other team. As the game progresses there will be opportunity for re-racks where the team can rearrange their cups to increase there chances of making a shot. The Images below represent the most common types of re-rack setups. Bounce shots that are made will result in two cups being pulled however are subject to swats after the bounce. All other rules are based off the house rules but are pretty similar across the nation.
