HOW TO PLAY BEER PONG

This will explain everything an individual needs to know about the game of beer pong. Beer
pong requires no strength or skill, but demands the prowess of a drunken college student
mind. Many believe in the game of beer pong there exists rigorous competition. The real
object of the game does not require winning. It requires having fun and getting drunk. 
Beer pong started one Friday night long ago in some fraternity house. Pure entertainment
and intoxication inspired the creation of beer pong. The simple game transmitted through
word of mouth and observation. Today beer pong exists as a house hold name at parties.
Anyone can view beer pong at any fraternity house on a Friday or Saturday night. The game
has become so popular that a resident of Finch Hall (alcohol-free) used to have a beer
pong table in his dorm room. 
The materials for the game do not cost much money and can be found easily. These include
twenty-four cups, two Ping-Pong balls, and a table. Food Lion has excellent beer pong
cups for a cheap price. Any sporting goods store carries Ping-Pong balls. Pieces of
plywood on some cinder blocks work for a good table. Picnic tables make great beer pong
tables. Lastly, beer pong requires massive amounts of beer. Usually this beer costs very
little money and tastes like garbage. Busch Light and Milwaukee's Best fall in that
category. The rules of beer pong portray the simplicity of the game. The game requires
four players, two on each team. Each team stands on one side of the rectangular table.
Both teams assemble a pyramid of ten cups at their respective end of the table. The teams
place the last two cups on the edges of the table even with the first cup in the pyramid.
Each team will defend their cups against the opposing team. Each team pours beer into the
cups. Two beers go evenly in the cups in the back two rows, one beer goes into the front
two rows, and one beer is divided in to the cups on the edge of the table. The game
starts with one player on each team standing at opposite corners of the table. They each
have a Ping-Pong ball. They each throw the ball trying to make it in any cup while not
actually looking at the cups. If the both make their respective balls they each drink the
cup that the ball landed in. If only one of the balls goes in the opposing team must
drink the contents of the cup that the balls landed in and the team that made the shot
get both Ping-Pong balls and the first shots. One team shoots their balls one at a time
while the team without the balls must drink the contents of the score cups. After one
team is finished shooting the opposite team gets a turn. This repeats until all the cups
on one side of the table become empty. The team with the remaining cups retains the win
and the losers must drink those cups. 
Beer pong also has a few special rules. If the first shooter on one team throws a ball
into a cup and the second shooter on the same team throws a ball into a cup before the
opposing team drinks the contents of the first cup that team has scored a double-up. They
get to shoot again. Also a team can deflect a ball after it has hit the rim of a cup.
Another rule states the if six cups remain on one teams side the opposing team can
request that those cups be put into a pyramid. This rule also pertains to three cups.
Lastly, at the end of the game the losers get two shots to see if they can put the balls
into the remaining cups. This rule only applies if the winners did not win on a double
up.
This manual has provided the novice beer-drinker to become a stellar beer pong player.
Just remember that the object of the game requires a person to have a lot of fun and
drink a lot of beer. As in any game a novice may start slowly but the more a person plays
the better he or she will become. Good luck on all of the beer ponging adventures!
