Here's my apartment's rules: First of all, we play water pong, much more sanitary. Just drink your own drink when they sink. Games go faster, and it's more fun. 10 cups, ONE re-rack, cannot re-rack in the middle of the turn (ie, when you get balls back), Honeycomb/circle of death means nothing. Throw=1 cup , Bounce=2 cups, Same cup both thrown=3 cups+balls back, Same cup 1 bounce 1 throw=4 cups+bb, Same cup both bounce=5 cups+bb Bounces may be swatted. Girls blow, guys finger Rebuttal is allowed as long as the cups made do not exceed cups left by winning team (ie, if you have 2 cups left and you both make the same cup, it's game over) Losing team throws until they miss during rebuttal Overtime: 3 cups, triangle rack, no rebuttal. Center cup is the "Helen Keller cup". Anyone deaf, dumb, and blind could hit that cup. Also referred to as the "freshman cup". Finally....NBA JAM RULES! 2 cups in a row by one player and they are "heeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaattttinnn' up!" but the player must be "called in" by his or her teammate. 3 cups in a row and said person is "on fire" (again must be called in by teammate) and shoots until he or she misses. My record with my roommate is 13 games in a row winning. The streak was only broken because our landlord showed up haha.
