Cool Rule Variations

A fun thing to do at your recreational pong games is to institute different rules in order to keep the night interesting. Here I'll list a few of the rules that I have played with recently.

1. Island Cup- Island cup can be called when there is a cup on the opposing teams side that is missing all its adjacent cups. For example, the front cup would become an island cup if you make it in both cups in the second row. If an Island becomes available, you have to declare that you are shooting for it. If you make it into any other cup on this turn it will not count. However, the up side is that if you call Island and make it into that cup the opposing team has to remove two cups. You can also establish a rule for the amount of times "Island" can be declared by a team.
2. Troll Rule- Now this may be by far the best rule you can add. In the situation that a player on the losing team did not make a cup the whole game, they then have to sit underneath the table for the whole next game. Furthermore, while they are under the table they have to drink anything any type/amount of alcohol that is given to them.
3. NBA Jam Rule- This rule seems to be pretty well known. In the event that a player makes a shot on two consecutive turns, he then can declare that he is "heating up". if he makes a cup on his next turn he is then declared to be "on fire" and gets to keep shooting til he misses. This rule is cool in the fact that it can both allow a better player to carry his/her team more easily and it can cause big swings in games.
