What are some of the basic rules beer pong?

1. Teams: Beer pong is typically played between two teams of two players each.

2. Equipment: You will need a beer pong table (often simply referred to as a "beer pong table"), 20 SOLO cups, 4 ping-pong balls, and beer or another beverage of choice.

3. Setup: The beer pong table has 10 cups on each side, arranged in a triangular formation with 6 cups on the back row, 3 in the middle row, and 1 at the front. Each team stands behind their own cups, with the beer or beverage of choice placed behind the cups. The cups will be filled with an equal amount of beer or another beverage.

4. Serve: Each team takes turns bouncing their ping-pong ball across the table, attempting to land it in one of their opponent's cups. The serve can be made from either side of the table and must cross over at least halfway to the opponent's side before landing.

5. Scoring: If the ball lands in a cup, the defending team must drink the beer or beverage in that cup and remove the cup from the table. The team that makes the shot earns a point.

6. Defense: The defending team can attempt to block the incoming ping-pong ball by using one or both hands. If the ball is blocked and does not land in a cup, the serving team retains possession of the ball and can attempt another shot.

7. Re-Rack: Once a team loses all of their cups, the losing team must re-rack the cups on their side in the original formation.

8. Game End: The first team to reach a predetermined number of points, usually 11 or 21, wins the game.

9. Drinking Rule Variation: Some variations of beer pong involve a drinking rule where any remaining cups on the losing team's side must be consumed at the end of the game.

10. Sportsmanship: Beer pong is a social and competitive game, and good sportsmanship is encouraged. Players should avoid excessive roughness or arguing.
