| The game is usually played with 2 teams of 2 although 1 on 1 has been known to happen. Each team sets up at opposite ends of a table with 10 cups, each 3/4 full. One member of one team starts by trying to bounce the ball on the table once and then into a cup. Then the other team returns. Partners alternate drinking and throwing. After each "hit", the cups are reset so that there are no empty spaces [diagram below]. The winner is the first team to hit all 10 cups and the loser must finish the winners beers.

One may not throw the ball if that person is behind in his drinking. A player is allowed to continue as long as they only have 1 beer to drink. If the player whose turn it is to throw has more than 1 beer to drink, the game must pause until he is down to 1 beer. Players MUST keep up with the drinking.
Variation: It also works well when the bounce is taken out (throw directly into the cup). |
