Beer Pong School - Tips
Play better beer pong. Here are some beer pong tips that will put you at the top of your game.
Aim for one cup.
Always aim for one cup. A bad habit a lot of people have at the beginning of the game is that they just randomly throw the ball hoping it will land in one of them. Even though at the beginning there’s lots of cups, that doesn’t mean you’re going to make it in just by throwing, to optimize your chance of making the shot you have to aim too. Aim for one cup throughout the rest of the game as well.
Throw for the cup in the middle.
Let’s face it, most of the cups you make aren’t even the ones you’re shooting for. It’s usually the one right next to it or if you’re really drunk the one in the far back when you were aiming for the one in the second row (the row with 2 cups). This way if you’re a little bit off on your aim and you miss you’re intended cup you still have a chance to make the cups nearby.
Use your re-rack(s) wisely.
A diamond or a diamond and 1 are you’re best options. Don’t try to do a straight line after you’ve already had a couple to drink because you will need to use more concentration to throw perfectly straight.
Don’t risk the bounce.
A lot of people like to throw the bounce even though they suck at it. On the other hand, there are some people that make a bounce more often than not and are pretty good at it. If you’re one of those people that suck, don’t do the bounce, you’re just wasting a turn and making your partner mad. The best time to bounce is near the beginning of the game when there’s a lot of cups on the table. Never bounce the ball with three or less cups remaining, at that time you would have a better chance shooting them in than bouncing. Once you’ve attempted a bounce and whether you made it or not, you’re chance of making the second attempt drops dramatically because the other team will be expecting it and swat the ball away. This is especially true if you’ve attempted a bounce twice, so a good rule of thumb is to never bounce the ball after two attempts.
Play perfect defense.
When it’s the other team’s turn to shoot pay attention and always be ready to swat a bounce away. If their first shot misses, don’t bother running to get the ball or pick it up off the floor. If you did you would give them a perfect opportunity to throw a bounce because you wouldn’t be paying attention. Take care not to knock over your own cups when swatting at the ball. If you feel up to it you can distract. If you’re playing against a guy team and you’re a girl show your breasts and do something sexy. If you’re a guy do gay things with your partner.
Give it enough hang time.
Put enough arc on the ball so you don’t shoot too low. Don’t shoot straight for it, with an arc at least if you miss you have a chance to make the cups next to it.
Don’t take rollbacks lightly.
Rollbacks are one of the funnest things in the game. You get really happy and a lot of pressure is lifted from your shoulders after making one. This is a bad thing because it lulls you into a false sense of security which makes you shoot your second shot with little or no concentration. Concentrate, concentrate, concentrate.
Put your mind in the game.
This game is 90% mental and 10% physical. Pay attention and concentrate at all times. Try not to have “too” much fun with your partner, remember you are there to win. When you’re aiming for a cup, focus. Ask yourself, “Why am I here playing beer pong?” - to win. “Why am I shooting for this cup?” - to make it in. “What is my only reason for being here right now at this party and playing beer pong?” - to make it in the cup you’re shooting for. You are there for no other reason, so do it.
If you’re shooting for rebuttal and the only beer that’s left at the party is beer for playing the game, think “If i miss this, I can’t drink anymore so I gotta make it”.
If you follow these tips you’re sure to see an improvement in your game and longer stays at the table.

beer pong
Beer Pong (also known as Beirut) is a drinking game in which players throw a ping-pong ball across a table with the intent of landing the ball in a cup of beer on the other end. The game typically consists of two two-player teams and multiple cups set up on each side set up in triangle formation. There are no official rules, many groups of people have there own sets of rules. though usually there are six or ten plastic cups arranged in a triangle on each side.
The goal of the game is to eliminate the other teams' cups before one's own cups are eliminated. When a ball lands in a cup, which are generally 1/4 to 1/3 full, that cup is eliminated and the defending team must consume all of the beer inside that cup.
Today, beer pong is played at parties, North american colleges and universities and elsewhere, such as tailgating or other sporting events. The game is also played by high school students, despite the fact that supplying alcohol to persons in these ages is sometimes and in some places illegal. But hey what can you do about it !
"Beirut" evolved from the original beer pong played with paddles which is generally regarded to have had its origins within the drinking culture of the Dartmouth College fraternities in the 1950s and '60s and where it has become part of the social culture of the campus. The original version resembled an actual ping pong game with one or more cups of beer on each side of the table. Eventually, a version without paddles was created, and later the name "Beer Pong" was adopted in some areas of the USA sometime in the 1980s.
The meaning of the terms Beirut and Beer Pong may vary depending on where the game is played. According to a CollegeHumor.com survey, beer pong is a more common term than Beirut for the paddle-less game.The origin of the name "Beirut" is disputed.
