Beaming / Randy Johnson Rule – Rules of Beer Pong #10

Beaming / Randy Johnson Beer Pong Rule

That’s got some heat on it

The rule that has started more alcohol fueled fights than any other. The beaming beer pong rule allows you to knock over the opponents’ cups on purpose. You will only be able to do this if the cup is very close to the edge of the table and there is much too little water. When the opposing team has only one cup left you can drill the cup with enough force to spill it or knock it off the table for the win. The opposing team isn’t going to be happy about you knocking over a cup especially if you spill beer on them so use discretion. You don’t want to get beat up over a game of beer pong. Some houses refer to beaming as the Randy Johnson Rule.

Bermuda Triangle Rule – Rules of Beer Pong #9

9. Bermuda Triangle Rule

Bermuda Triangle Rule

Danger!

There a few instances in a beer pong game when you are not allowed to re-rack the remaining cups. The Bermuda Triangle beer pong rule is for when there are 3 cups left and none of them are connected. You can not request a re-rack when the cups are in this formation. You also may not call island as none of the cups are touching. There must be a mainland for the island rule to apply. You are stuck with this formation of cups until you manage to sink one of them so be prepared to lose a few shots in the triangle.

Sniper Rule – Rules of Beer Pong #8

8. Sniper Rule

Sniper Rule

Sniped

Head’s up! When you incorporate the sniper rule in your house rules your games are sure to get rowdy. The sniper rule lets players snipe an opponent in the head for an extra cup. In order to have the chance at a snipe, you must catch the opponent’s shot as it bounces off the lids of your rack of cups. If you catch the ball, you must throw it at an opponent’s head in one motion. Most people are caught unaware by this move and you will end up scoring an extra cup. If your opponent somehow catches the ball thrown at him with their cat like reflexes, they may throw the ball back in a counter snipe attempt. Anyone that is hit in the head with a snipe must drink a cup from their rack.

 

Some houses have a variation of this rule known as ‘slap cup.’ The slap cup beer pong rule is similar to the sniper rule in that you target the shooting team after a ricochet shot. If a shot bounces off of the rim a defender can open hand slap the ball at the shooters. If the ball hits the shooters anywhere in the body they must drink a cup.

Island Rule – Rules of Beer Pong #7

7. Island Rule

Beer Pong Island

Land Ho’

The island beer pong rule offers an opportunity for a bonus cup. If a cup is not touching another cup on the table a player may call, “island” and shoot for the lone cup. If the player succeeds in sinking the cup, they are awarded a bonus cup. There must be a land mass (two cups that are touching) in order for this rule to apply. Because you need at least 3 cups for the shot to be available, you can not win the game on this rule. At most houses each player gets one per game (two per team.) If you are playing a 1v1 then each player gets one call per game.

You can not call island if there is a Bermuda Triangle on the table.

If a shooter calls “island” and bounces the shot into the island cup the defending team picks 2 additional bonus cups to remove from the table and drink.

If both players on the shooting team call “island” and make the same cup the defending team must pick 2 additional bonus cups to remove and drink. The shooting team is awarded balls back.

NBA Jam / Heating Up / On Fire – Rules of Beer Pong #6

6. NBA Jam / Heating Up / On Fire

NBA JAM Beer Pong Rule

“He’s on fire!”

The NBA Jam beer pong rule is gets its name from the classic arcade game by Midway. NBA Jam allows a player to get bonus shots.

After hitting two consecutive shots, the shooter announces, “heating up.” If they sink their next shot (3 consecutive cups) the player is “on fire” and continues to shoot until he or she misses. A player has to state, “heating  up” after making the second shot for a chance at fire.

This rule is great for momentum swings during your game. There is nothing like winning a game with 7 consecutive shot comeback.

If a team or player gets balls back during a streak of fire the shooting team will get balls back after fire has been extinguished. A new turn begins. The shooting team has the opportunity for a second balls back series.

Naked Lap / Skunk Lap – Rules of Beer Pong #5

5. Naked Lap / Skunk Lap

Naked Lap

Don’t Get Skunked

Like many competitive games beer pong has a “skunk rule.” If either team wins the game before the opposing team hits ANY of their cups, the naked lap rule is enacted. The losing team must strip down naked or to their underwear and take a running lap around the house. This is especially brutal in the winter, so make sure you don’t get skunked. If you are playing in a dorm, then it is a lap around the dorm floor. The naked lap is uncommon so enjoy the show if you are lucky enough to witness this rule. If you happen to get skunked in a game, don’t chicken out. There is nothing worse than a player who skips out on their naked lap.

Beer Pong Troll Rule / Trolling

Beer Pong Troll

Suck at beer pong? You’ve probably heard of the troll rule then. If you fail to hit a single cup in a game that your team loses then you must take your drink and sit under the table. The beer pong troll must stay under the table for the duration of the next game. Often the troll will disrupt the next game by grabbing player’s ankles or by making lots of noise. If both players on a team get skunked, they must both take a naked lap. Make sure you don’t strike out at the beer pong table or you’ll be spending a good amount of time under the table.

If you are a bar that is hosting beer pong tournaments, you need to have a list of rules advertised. Trust us it’s worth it to write them down. Because each house has their own rules, game play is often different at various venues. Each house offers its own unique take on the game of beer pong.
