Beruit = No paddles

We played beer pong all the time at school (I don't go to Dartmouth), at least until our table gave way from all the beer. It's a lot more fun and you drink a lot more in a shorter amount of time. If someone has a ping pong table, I'll teach you and whoever else wants to play. It's not ping pong with beer, just so everyone knows - its all lob shots, no keeping score, no serving advantage. Don't hate it until you try it.

It's nice to know someone agrees with me. You have/bringing a ping pong table?

is it just hitting balls with the paddle into the cup? are there similar re-rack rules?

You're volleying back and forth alternating between you and your partner on returning the ball with the goal of hitting/sinking the cups. Varying rules on responding to a hit cup. Very entertaining and pretty fast paced.

Hmm i still dont get it. so your partner is at the opposite end of the table or you trade off like you would normally?

you can just hit a cup, the ball does not have to stay in?

The ball does have to stay in. You and your partner are on one side. The other team is on the other side. You and your partner take turns hitting the ball as it volleys back and forth. You try to hit the other team's cups. The ball must stay on the table. Shots must be high and arced to count.

Each team has two cups completely filled with beer. If you sink the cup, its game over and the other team drinks their entire beer. To win, you either sink the ball or you hit the other teams cups, without them being able to return the ball, 4 times. Having your cup hit requires you and your partner each drink 1/4 of your drink.

The most popular cup formations are Shrub (33 percent) and Tree (31 percent), with Line/Death at 8 percent and Ship at 6 percent.
Tree requires the average player to consume 7.3 drinks, Shrub 5.7 drinks, Line/Death 5.2 drinks, and Ship 7.4 drinks.

"Last year, researchers studied 34 students at the University of Virginia, taking them to the base of a steep hill and fitting them with a weighted backpack. They were then asked to estimate the steepness of the hill. Some participants stood next to friends during the exercise, while others were alone. The students who stood with friends gave lower estimates of the steepness of the hill. And the longer the friends had known each other, the less steep the hill appeared."

What did he do when he was supposed to drink then? And what is LDS?

1. is there a sizeable asian population at uva? (i'm sorry if some people don't like this question, and i certainly don't feel like asians are entitled to a certain percentage of spots at any given law school)

2. people always talk about the quality of student life at uva, referring to feb club, softball, and beer. i don't drink, and i dont do sports. how big is drinking in the school's culture? would someone like me be unhappy there?

Just lettin you know man, our basement won't just be for storage.

I've only ever played California 10 Cup and Arizona rules. Also never with a paddle. But I've never played pong east of the Mississippi. I foresee the need for some posters explaining rules.

BTW even if you don't drink, pong can still be a fun game. One of the best pong players I've ever met was LDS and didn't drink. His teammates also always had a great time, though that should be obvious.
