You know Beer Pong (aka Beirut) has got serious when they hold a World Series...The original Beer Pong rules set and, purists would claim, the best.
A pyramid of six half-full beer cups is placed at either end of a table. (The longer the table is, the more difficult it is to play.)
Contestants are armed with ping pong bats, books, CD cases, or anything else which will propel a ping pong ball across the table.
The goal is to land your ping pong ball in the opponent's beer cups.
Basic Beer Pong is much simpler than its later spin-offs. So there's no need to keep score and a glancing blow doesn't count (if the ball hits a cup but doesn't land inside it).
Every time you score a direct hit, your opponent has to drink the contents of the cup. If the ball goes dead, serve switches to the opposite side.
The best Beer Pong rule is the Passout rule. Anybody who falls over, vomits or passes out automatically forfeits the match.
For a really mean rule twist, play Loser Stays On. This means the person who has drunk their six beers first has to play the next challenger!
