Finally a thread I can contribute to and know something about.

There are always variations and house rules wherever you play. It seems Beirut is the "correct" name for what most of us know as beer pong, but it is still beer pong to me.

Ten cups each side, triangle, teams of 2, each team gets 1 re-rack request during the game. Elbow must always be behind the end of your table when your throw is made. Bounces can be swatted away but if you get it in it counts as two cups. Swat a non bounce results in a free throw for the other team. Get both ping pong balls into one cup? other team must drink all cups touching that one. Trash talking and using distraction is not only encouraged, but it's mandated. With "spinners" in the cup, guys can finger, girls can blow. Try to get it out and drop it in another cup? Drink em both. On the last cup / ball the team down to 1 cup can continue to play as long as they don't miss again. As soon as they do, game over.

These are abridged house rules here. Use them and dominate.

edit: Regarding building your table, cut out holes on each end so the plastic beer cups fall about a quarter to a halfway down. This eliminates most party fouls (always a tragedy) and makes for a more professional look. All cups should touch on the edges.
