If you are not sure about the rules and the way the game is played, then you will need to understand and learn at least the basics. Typically, a beer pong game is played by two teams. Each team, composed of two players, will be given an equal number of cups.
Normally, 7 cups per team are placed in a specific pattern and location. The 7th cup will be used for washing the pong balls and not for the game as it will be filled with water.
Each of the 6 cups of each team will be filled with beer till half. Each player then tries to shoot the pong inside a specific cup. Should the player successfully shoot the ball, the player on the other team will be required to drink that specific cup. Each player on each team shoots a ball alternately until the first team to make all 6 cups wins. Now this is the basic way to play however, for tournaments, the rules and game play may vary slightly. -
