Shot Pong

Ante up! Beer pong is getting an upgrade. If you thought beer pong got you bombed quick prepare yourself for shot pong, beer pong’s dangerous older brother. Now there a couple of different versions of shot pong floating around the net so here’s a quick rundown:

Simple Shot Pong

You’re going to need a wide table or separate place to keep your shot glasses. This simple version of the beer pong variation requires 12 plastic cups and 12 shot glasses. Fill each of the shot glasses to ~1/3. Now play pong as normal, but every time your opponent sinks a cups you must take the shot of the corresponding shot glass. Pull your solo cups as usual.

Beer Tab Shot Pong

Here is a another cool take. Beer tab shot pong uses beer tabs instead of pong balls. Set up a six cup rack of some uniform shot glasses and fill them to ~1/3 -1/2 with your favorite liquor. Beer tab shot pong works well on smaller table tops. These guys use 2 tabs a piece, if you do the same you’re sure to get tanked.

Rotating Shot Pong

Here’s a fun one and it’s a little less intense. To play start by setting up a 6 cup rack at one side of the table. This game requires four players but there are no teams. Each player sets up on a different side of the table. The person that is opposite the cups is the shooter. The shooter gets 3 shots per turn. For every shot the shooter makes, the person standing on the side of the cups must take 1/3 of a shot. Rotate after each turn.

More beer pong variations: Civil War, Baseball Pong, Chandeliers, Giant Beer Pong, Strip Pong, Oche Pong, Rope Swing Pong. See them all on our beer pong variations page. Playing the classic game? See the full rules of beer pong and our rack formations.

Bitch Cup – Rules of Beer Pong #2

Looking for the party game? The full cup in the middle of a Rage Cage table is also called the bitch cup: see Rage Cage rules. This page covers the beer pong rule.

2. Bitch Cup

In a nutshell: the bitch cup is the center cup of the starting rack. At our house, if a guy hits it as his first cup, it doesn’t count at all: no drink, and the cup stays on the table.

Every house has an opinion on the center cup. Here’s how ours plays it, and what other houses do instead.

Bitch Cup

Bitch cup is the center cup in the rack.

How the bitch cup rule works

  1. Find the center cup. In a full 10-cup rack, it’s the cup in the dead center of the triangle.
  2. It only matters as the first cup made. The rule applies when the center cup is hit before any other cup.
  3. Guys: it doesn’t count. Nobody drinks, the cup stays on the table, and the shot is wasted. Better luck next time.
  4. Girls: it counts. If a girl hits it as the first cup, it’s a normal made cup. That’s where the name comes from.
  5. No streak credit. A guy’s bitch cup doesn’t count toward heating up or on fire either. It never happened.

Bitch cup variations

  • Some houses call it the center cup or freshman cup and skip the guys/girls split.
  • Some houses count it and make the defending team drink it but leave the cup on the table. Others (like ours) don’t count it at all.
  • The center cup is also part of the ring of fire, so hitting it early can set up an instant win.

FAQ

Does the bitch cup count as a made cup?
Not if a guy hits it first. Under our rule it doesn’t count at all: no drink, and the cup stays. If a girl hits it first, it counts.

What happens if the bitch cup is hit later in the game?
Nothing special. The rule only applies when it’s the first cup made.

Keep the arguments off the table. Put your version of the bitch cup in writing: house rules signs from the Beer Pong All-Stars shop.

Ring of Fire / Ring of Death – Rules of Beer Pong #3

Looking for the card drinking game? Circle of Death, also called Kings Cup, is explained in Circle of Death rules: what every card means. This page covers the beer pong rule.

3. Ring of Fire / Ring of Death

In a nutshell: hit the front cup, the center cup and both back corner cups, without hitting any other cup first, and you win the game on the spot.

Our favorite beer pong rule, and the most satisfying way to win a game. Hit the four ring cups before anything else and the game ends on the spot, no redemption.

Ring of Fire

Ring of fire beer pong rule

How ring of fire works

  1. Know the four cups. The front (head) cup, the center cup, and the two back corner cups of the full rack. See the diagram above.
  2. Hit only those cups. If any other cup is made before all four are down, the ring is broken.
  3. Make all four and the game is over. No redemption, no comeback.

Winning before the other team shoots

With balls back, ring of fire can end the game on the first turn: both players make one of the ring cups, get the balls back, and make the remaining two before the other team ever shoots.

When ring of fire doesn’t apply

  • You can’t win with ring of fire during redemption.
  • A re-rack changes the formation, so once the cups are re-racked the ring is gone.

FAQ

Is ring of fire the same as ring of death?
Yes. Different houses use different names for the same rule.

Can you win with ring of fire during redemption?
No. Ring of fire can’t win the game in redemption.

Keep the arguments off the table. New players rarely know this one, so post it: house rules signs from the Beer Pong All-Stars shop.

Beer Pong Tips

Here is a collection of beer pong tips and strategies to help elevate your game.

1.Practice

Practice makes perfect and beer pong is no different. You can start by shooting at some water cups in your free time. The more time you put in the better you will be. Practice some trick shots while you’re at it, you never know when you’ll need a clutch behind the back shot to take the lead. Get drunk for practice! In what other sport do you get to slam a six pack before warm ups? Don’t think that practicing shooting at water cups in your garage is going to take you from zero to hero. You need practice under pressure. Playing at parties with lots of spectators can give you a taste of what it’s like to come through in high pressure situations. We at Beer Pong All-Stars recommend that you find a local tournament to compete in. You’ll get to meet some new drinking bros and sink cups under pressure too!

 

2.Pregame

Grab a drink before your match. It will help take the edge off. If you’re at a house party learn the house rules. Maybe the rules are posted somewhere, if not pay attention to the games ahead of you to learn how that house plays.

 

3.Technique

Beer Pong is all about the muscle memory. Practice your most comfortable throwing technique and stay consistent. We recommend the three finger grip: gripping the ball with your thumb, index, and middle and fingers and tossing it with a good amount of arch. Other grips include the two finger grip, under hand and over hand. Don’t try to snipe the backside of the cups!

 

4.Distraction

Beer Pong Distraction

You’d be surprised at how well this works.

If you are going to be a beer pong all-star, you’re going to have to learn some defense. Leave the hand waving over the cups at home noob, we’ve got some top shelf distractions for ya. Talk some smack! Let the other team know that they have whiffed on their last 4 shots. Get in their heads! Keep a running tally of a player’s missed shots and casually mention his count throughout the game. Our favorite distraction over here at Beer Pong All-Stars is the subtle point and move: point at one of the cups and move your finger away as the player is about to release the ball. Works every time😎 Got a set of boobs? Use ’em to distract your opponents. You can do it if you’re a dude too. I’ve seen it work.

 

 

5.Strategy

First, know the rules! You can’t development a killer strategy without knowing the house rules. If the house plays ring of fire aim for the front cup first. If you hit it, good! Now get the middle cup and back corners for a quick win. Made another cup? Oh well, proceed with the game as normal.

Get reracks that line the cups in straight lines even if they are at an angle; that way you can get the aim right but not the distance and still make cups. There is no rule against taking a good angle on the rack so move around on your side of the table.

Bounce for big plays. Bounce low and as close to the cups as possible so that your shot is hard to block. If you’re opponent isn’t paying attention score a quick double cup. You can also use distractions like bouncing while your partner shoots. Our favorite distraction here at Beer Pong All-Stars is to yell at someone behind your opponent so that they turn around. Sink a double cup on them for that. Tricked like a chump😎
