With continuing on the the subject of different campus sports that are going on, not on fields or courts but in houses around the campuses at all hours of the night. Flip cup is an older drinking game but it has taken new life with the younger crowds, they are just now getting the jist of the rules and the speed and fun of this older game/sport. No-one really knows where this mysterious game originated from or the life it has brought to parties all over, they only know the amazing specticle it puts on. With team work and some slight skill you can rule the parties with this fun game and well get pretty trashed all at the same time.
How the rules are set up is that you cant have as many people as you want playing as long as there is an even number on both sides. It is set up with 2 teams on each side of the table with everyone having their own solo cup filled about a quarter of the way of beer. Two players on the same end of the table but opposite teams then start the game by either "cheersing" each other then taking the cup touching the table and then starting or by taking both fists and bumping them with the opposing player then touch the table and then start. After doin the initial start you chug your beer as fast as possible then put your cup down on the edge of the table and try to flip it on its opposite end by just using one hand, after you get that feat done the next player goes and soo on. This game is a relay soo the first team to have all of their beer drank and cups flipped over wins!
**With the more games that are being played well the more you will not remember how the night will end, some like to not choose beer but liquor like whiskey or dare I say vodka. But with whatever you choose to drink with please drink responsibly and try not to do anything stupid.**

Campus Underground Game or Sport?: Beer Pong
When people think of the words games or sports they usually think of Baseball, Basketball, Football, and maybe even golf, but there are some sports/games that are being played on college campus' all across the country. They are being used at parties and sometimes even just playing around, for some they want to practice and get better and others to learn new tricks of the trade.You may ask youself what "Sports" are being played on college campus' at parties.
There is a major sport that is developing a new life and creating mass hysteria across the country at Universities everywhere. This soo called sport you may already know or just now learning that it is a "Sport", well to college students it's not just a sport it's a way of life. This developed sport has came from the most uncommon place and that is Cambridge University, where a group of young college students were trying to by there time on the weekends to blow off steam from the past week of classes and getting ready for the upcoming week. The sport was originally developed using ping pong balls and paddles, but it went from there to throwing the ball, some of you reading this already know what I'm talking about but for those of you who dont, this sport is called Beer Pong.
Beer Pong has transformed from using ping pong paddles to hit the ball to just throwing the ball, for those of you who doesn't know the sport of Beer Pong I'm gonna lay down a few of the basic ground rules for the sport. Beer Pong is played on an 8 foot table sitting at about 27 inches off the floor, with 2 teams of 2 people on opposite ends of the table with 10 cups filled with 2 ounces of beer in each cup set up in a triangle formation. Each player gets to throw a ball at the cups, now there is an assortment of different shots you can choose from, there is the high arcing shot, the bullet where you throw the ball on a beeline at the cups, and there is the bounce but with the bounce the opposing team has fair game to be able to block the shot from going in and if you make it, it counts as 2 cups gone.
With so much experience and playing rules are subject to change, with something that we like to call "house rules". See house rules are very tricky to be able to get used to especially when you've been playing under your our sets of rules. Not all rules are the same, people like to vary the rules to put more interest and fun in the games.
I remember one night I was at a party with some buddies and we called next game. We started to play and they shot first because they were winners, well the first person shot and it bounced off a cup and into another. By their rules they take the intial contact cup and the cup they made out for 2 cups. We tried to argue that rule and say that it was stupid but the owner of the house said sorry man "house rules".
