Vegas Beer Pong Style
The World Series of Beer Pong is the biggest, longest-running organized beer pong (aka Beirut) tournament in the world, made up of beer pong players, for beer pong players. These are serious beer pong players who love to play tournament style beer pong on official beer pong tables.
Last years event drew over 800 players from 45 U.S. States and 5 Canadian Provinces, offering the biggest payout in beer pong history of $50,000. Games are played on 8-foot BPONG Tables, and WSOBP Rules govern all gameplay. Players may buy-in to the event at any time prior to Dec. 10, 2009, or they may choose to win their way to the event by competing in an official Satellite Tournament. We will be interested in who will be the victor of the beer pong tournament and from what state they are from! Pong on Brothers and Sisters!
Social Butterflies Swivel
Swiveling bar stools are a good way to encourage a social atmosphere in any home or business. When you think about it–kitchens, bars, game rooms and restaurants are places where people commonly gather to talk with others. It’s important to offer seating that allows individuals to have eye contact when speaking with others. Swivel bar stools are the perfect way to ensure guests or patrons maintain contact in any seating situation.
The most important feature to look at when shopping for swiveling bar stools is the stool’s ability to rotate 360 degrees with ease. Bar stools should also be comfortable and durable. They can come in a variety of materials and styles. Some, for example, may have a cushioned-seat, armrests or a back rest. There is even a certain type of swivel stool that is tailored to mischievous children. These stools feature a spring-loaded mechanism that automatically returns the stool to its original position.
Beer Pong Rules to Play By
Beer Pong has been around for a while now, there are actual beer pong tables to use for the game.
Beer Pong Rules – What You’ll Need
* Either two people (head-to-head) or four people (2 vs. 2)
* 14 plastic cups; six to each team for play and one to each team for ball washing
* two ping pong balls; just buy a pack, you’d be surprised how easily the balls get lost
* a worthy beer pong table; should measure about 7 ft. long and 3 ft. wide.
Beer Pong Rules – Your Mission
Eliminate the other team’s cups.
1. Setup. Set your table up similar to this (though I find the excessive amount of beer bottles and cans a little distracting). Six cups in a diamond formation at the end of each table. Place your ball washing cup off to the side.
2. Start of game. If there is a reigning beer pong champion, that individual or team has the right to shoot first. If there are two fresh teams, each team must select a player for a stare down throw. In a stare down, two opposing players must maintain eye contact and simultaneously throw their balls at the same time. Whoever makes a shot has their team go first. If no one makes a shot or if both do, the process is repeated until one person wins.
3. Turns. Each team takes their turn shooting. If a shot is made (ball into cup), the team whose cup was made must drink the contents and remove the cup from play. If a team makes both balls into cups, they get both balls back and may shoot again.
4. Re-racks. A re-rack is allowed once per game. Before any team member throws a ball, a team may request that the cups they are shooting into be arranged in any formation – triangle, straight line, diamond, etc. This is only before a ball is thrown. If one team member takes their shot, a re-rack cannot be requested for that turn.
5. Bouncing. Instead of throwing, you can also bounce your shot. If you make a bounce shot you not only eliminate the cup you shot into but another of your choosing. Be advised, though, that a bounce shot can be swatted away by the other team (if they’re fast enough).
6. Blowing. If a shot from the other team swirls around in your cup, you are allowed to blow it out if you are able. If the ball touches the contents inside the cup, however, the shot counts and the cup must be removed and the contents drank.
7. Redemption. When a team’s last cup is sank, they are allowed either one or two redemption shots. One if the cup was sank by the first shooter on the other team, two if it took both players to sink the cup. If a redemption shot is made, the team may keep their one last cup on the table and play continues.
