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.

The Rules

SOCIAL PONG MANUAL

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.

SOCIAL PONG MANUAL

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.
