ReRacking
Although the cups begin in a pyramid, they don’t necessarily stay that way. As
there are more holes in the pyramid from removing cups, it gets more dicult
to make shots. To account for this, a team must “re-rack” a certain number of
remaining cups in order to keep a compact shape at which their opponents can
shoot. Each team gets two re-racks per game at any time. The shooting team can
choose how they want their cups arranged. A standard rule of thumb is to take
one with 6 cups remaining and with 2 or 3 cups remaining. Reformation is to take
place as soon as applicable, even in the middle of a turn.

3. Get Ready, Get Set, Get Social, Pong
• Place the ten cups into the designated holes on the
target.
• Fill each cup approximately 1/3 full of liquid.
• Place the two targets about 8 feet apart.
• Two players stand by each target. The two players
standing near the same target are on the same
team.
4. Who Throws First
• A popular way to start the game is to have two
opposing players look each other in the eye and
without looking away or looking at the cups, shoot
at the cups. The first team that makes a cup goes
first. Teammates alternate turns until someone
makes it. If both teams make it, you keep shooting.

5. Playing the Game
• Each team will get two shots for each turn, one
shot per team member.
• If a player makes a cup, the other team should
consume this cup and/or remove the cup from the
table.
• The game continues in this way, with both players
from one team taking a shot, followed by both
players from the other team. The team that clears
all the opposing team’s cups first is the winner.
• If both players on a team sink his/her shot on the
same turn, that team will get two additional shots.
• If a ball bounces into a cup, it counts as two cups.
The player that bounced the ball will choose
the second cup to be removed from the table.
HOWEVER, if they bounce, you have free reign to
swat that shot away. Bouncing is a good strategy
if a) you’re good at it and b) the other team isn’t
paying attention.

6. Let’s End This
• After the last cup is scored, each player from the
losing team has a chance to score the remaining
cups.
• Each player shoots until they miss, the order in
which this is done does not matter.
• If the losing team has remaining re-racking calls,
they may be used now. If both players miss and
there are remaining cups, the game is over.
• If the players manage to hit all remaining cups the
game goes into a 3-cup overtime.
7. Overtime
• If a team hits the remaining cups during rebuttal,
the game goes to overtime. Overtime consists of
each team setting up 3 cups in a triangle format
using water to fill them up. The team who hit
the last cup prior to the rebuttal shoots first in
overtime. Overtime is played like a normal game
with the same rules applied.
8. Backboard and In
• If a player who does not have possession of the ball
contacts the ball and as a result that ball enters
one of his own cups, unintentionally acting as a
backboard, that shot will be counted.

9. Interference
• If players interfere prior to the ball’s contact with
a cup, a 1-cup penalty will be imposed for the
interference. The thrower who had his or her shot
interfered with may choose the cup to be removed.
• If this offensive team bounces the ball, then the
defensive team can interfere and swat the ball out
of the air.
• Players may not contact the table while their
opponents are shooting.
• Balls may not be interfered with while inside of a cup.
• If a player knocks over his or her own cups,
those cups are to be counted as though sunk and
removed from the table. They are not to be refilled
or replaced. If the entire rack is knocked off the
table, all cups are counted as hit. The exception is
if this happens during reformation, in which case
the cups are replaced.
• If cups are knocked over by any non-player, those
cups are not counted as sunk and are able to be
refilled and replaced in their appropriate positions
on the table.
• If cups drift or are otherwise moved out of
formation, those cups may be replaced in their
appropriate positions upon request from the
opposing team.
