Traveling – Rules of Beer Pong #11
11. Traveling
In a nutshell: if your shot touches one cup and drops into another, you earn bonus cups. We don’t play it at Beer Pong All-Stars, but plenty of houses do.
Want a bonus cup for a lucky bounce? Some houses give you one. Ours doesn’t, and here’s why.
What do you mean “travel?”
How traveling works
- The ball hits a cup and keeps going. It rolls off one cup’s rim and drops into another.
- Bonus cups. Depending on the house, you pull every cup the ball touched, or the made cup plus one bonus cup.
Why we don’t play it
Traveling rewards lucky shots, so rookies collect cups they didn’t earn and games end faster. If you want a bonus rule, island and bounce shots reward skill instead.
FAQ
What if the ball bounces off one cup and into another?
At our house it counts as one cup: the one it landed in. Houses that play traveling give you bonus cups for it.
Do you have to call traveling?
No. It’s decided by where the ball goes, not by a call.
Is traveling the same as same cup?
No. Same cup is when both teammates make the same cup.
Keep the arguments off the table. Playing with or without traveling? Post it: house rules signs from the Beer Pong All-Stars shop.
