Physics Of Beer Pong

Introduction

Beer pong is a very popular game known to many college students. It is a form of entertainment that is typically played at most parties. Beer pong is normally played in pairs of two on a rectangular table with one team standing at the opposite of the other. This game can be played with Six or ten cups forming a pyramid at either end of the table, with the base of the pyramid centered at the edge of the table. The main purpose of this game is for the players  to toss or bounce ping pong balls into the cups, each of the cup is filled with 1/3 of a beer or what ever one may desire. When a player makes a shot into a cup of the opposing team, a player from the opposing team drinks  the cup and removes it from the table. The game continues in this way, with both players from one team taking a shot, followed by both players from the other team. The team that is able to clear all of the opposing team’s cups first is the winner, with the losing team splitting the contents of the winning team’s remaining cups.
