Death Cup – Rules of Beer Pong #12
12. Death Cup
In a nutshell: if a made cup never gets pulled and the other team hits it again, it’s death cup and the game is over.
Beware! Late in a long night, somebody always forgets to pull a cup. Nobody has to remind you, and if it gets hit again, the game is over. Pull your cups.
Beware!
How death cup works
- A cup gets made but not pulled. It happens late in the night.
- No warning required. The shooting team doesn’t have to point out the forgotten cup.
- Hit it again and it’s over. A second make in the same cup is death cup, and the game ends.
Death cup and redemption
You can’t win with ring of fire during redemption, but you can win with a death cup.
Another version
At some houses, death cup means sinking a ball into the drink someone is holding. Agree on which version you play.
FAQ
How do you avoid a death cup?
Pull and drink every made cup right away.

Yes. The game ends immediately.
Keep the arguments off the table. Put death cup on the sign so nobody claims they didn’t know: house rules signs from the Beer Pong All-Stars shop.
