Same Cup – Rules of Beer Pong #24

24. Same Cup

In a nutshell: if both teammates make the same cup, they get balls back and pick two more cups: three cups off the table.

Two balls, one cup, and your opponents are suddenly drinking three. Same cup is the biggest swing in beer pong, and the most fun way to bury a team.

Same Cup Beer Pong Rule

How same cup works

  1. Both shooters hit one cup. Same cup, same turn.
  2. Three cups come off. The made cup plus two cups of the shooting team’s choice.
  3. Balls back. The team also gets balls back.
  4. No call needed. You don’t have to call same cup before shooting.

Same cup in one-on-one

In a 1v1 game, a player who makes the same cup twice in a row pulls 3 cups, gets balls back, and is heating up.

Same cup combos

If both players call island and make the same island cup, the defending team pulls 2 bonus cups and the shooters get balls back.
