Why Gurgaon Took To Beer Pong, Like Fish To Water?

Is it the culture that makes the people…. or the other way around? In the case of our dear ol’ Gurgaon, it seems they’re both making the city revolve! That Gurgaon is the NCR nightlife hub, corporate hub, startup hub and culinary hub, isn’t news anymore! The surge of multinationals in the city is flabbergasting, to say the least. But deep down is the yearn for slowing down, for ease, for stagnancy…. for recreation! The one diversion that has recently hit the city culture (read all of the hubs I mentioned above), taking the company culture by hand to a changing scenario, are the Drinking games, as they are often called!

Combine the fun, spirit and competitiveness of a game with the ever enticing draw of booze. While hundreds of different drinking games are played at college parties ever year, only a handful are well-known. That said, one game possesses just enough excitement and competition to break free of the “drinking game” label and creep into the realm of sports.

You guessed it…. Beer Pong!

But what is it about this drinking game that sets it apart from the others? Beer pong requires skill, teamwork and the ability to stand after a plentiful amount of beer. But what is it about this darn game that is setting every corporate organisation in Gurgaon, on fire?

bond…. team bond!

Any drinking game that requires teamwork will strengthen the bonds between you and your friends, as it requires you to “mutually support” one another, which can encourage people to achieve goals they may not have realized they could reach on their own, like the goal of drinking a whole lot, or, you know, something super-productive.

Beer Pong… And ready to mingle!

Everyone feels happy when they socialize” (even introverts!), and there’s nothing more social than drinking with friends, colleagues and team mates… and what’s the cherry on the cake? Drinking… always makes the bonds grow….. fonder!

The long and short of it!

Plenty of drinking games, like quarters, beer pong, and flip cup, require a high level of hand-eye coordination. And those skills have uses outside of the party scene, as the better you get at it, the more you can increase your reaction times, as well as enhanced agility and athleticism. It could even improve your typing skills!…. It is true… and not a promotional gimmick!

Competition- do it!

Competition can benefit people greatly, as it challenges people to strive to be better. Hold on to your competitive spirit during flip cup on Friday night, and then unleash it at your workplace on Monday morning, and soon, you’ll be heading the department, you report at!

Hail Beer Pong…. Keep the town on it’s toes!

StartUp Beer Pong… The New Route To Start Ideating! Beer Pong Leaque

StartUps- the calling of the day…. and in some ways, the need of the hour. From the new age enterprising individuals to the seasoned ones looking to create something out of the box, StartUps are a huge deal! Bringing in a sort of vent to those ever active thinking minds, but have also given us horizons to cash in on! Throw in a table and beer kegs with a ping pong ball! What an idea, sirji… sn’t it? Sure… But the challenge is yet to begin.

Have you ever wondered why startups are resorting to Beer Pong challenges? It isn’t to just guzzle down beer! There is a deep rooted reason underlying the cool funda. It serves the purpose of stimulating the brain so more work can be carried out around solving the issue at hand. Basically Beer pong is – at least in startup ecosystems – a productivity tool, as opposed to a mindless ‘break’ away topped with a few glasses of beer!

With challenges of funding, hiring, expanding, there is one thing that supersedes it all…. the right Network!  But how do you get to that small ray of light when there are long sighted deadlines to be reached, innovative ideas to be developed and break through barriers to be crashed? The startup culture isn’t one to bow down…. and hence, the competition shoots through the roof. Beer Pong challenges are the route to connect with like minded… or opposing minded brains behind competing startups… bringing ideas and cutting down barriers, to think beyond the periphery. “Make thy competition, thy comrade”!

Beer pong isn’t  a fad… It is a way for startups to bring a tradition of boosting morale, ideating freely, conducting healthy competition and making team spirit  as the anthem! So, all you “Step Up or Step Out” founders, it’s time for you to step up and put the step up for your team… because free minds are genius minds!

How to Play Beer Pong StartUp Beer Pong… The New Route To Start Ideating!

Beer pong  is a popular drinking game, a competitive “team sport,” and for weekend warriors, it’s a way of life. Simple to play, easy to learn, and entertaining for players and spectators alike, beer pong is a backyard barbecue, bar league, basement, and tailgating favorite.

The object of the game is to eliminate the opposing team’s cups before they can eliminate yours.

If you have beer pong racks, it’s easy. If not, simply arrange the cupes in a 6- or 10-cup triangle shape.

Fill all beer pong cups about 1/4 to 1/3 of the way with beer. Place an extra cup, filled with water, off to the side for rinsing of your balls.

What You Need to Play Beer Pong

  • Two teams each consisting of two people
  • A beer pong table or any level playing surface (6-feet long by 3-feet wide is ideal)
  • (22) 16-18 oz plastic cups (10 per team and 2 water cups)
  • Ping-pong balls (you need at least 2, but the more the better)
  • Beer (or another tasty beverage all players agree on)

Rules beer pong – How to play

STARTING EACH GAME—–PLAYERS WILL PLAY EYE-TO-EYE TO SEE WHO GOES FIRST. WHICH IS LOOKING DIRECTLY AT YOUR OPPONENT AND SHOOTING THE BALL. IF ONE PLAYER HITS A CUP AND THE OTHER DOESN’T, THEN THE TEAM THAT MADE THE SHOOT GOES FIRST. IF BOTH PLAYER MAKE THE EYE-TO-EYE, THEN KEEP ROTATING PARNTERS UNTIL SOMEONE MAKES IT, AND SOMEONE MISSES.                                   

FILLING CUPS BEFORE EACH GAME–EACH TEAM IS RESPONSIBLE TO GET A PITCHER OF BEER AND USE ¾ OF THAT PITCHER STARTING WITH 10 CUPS. SAVING THE ¼ INCASE OF OVERTIME. EACH CUP HAS TO BE EVENLY FILLED, NO LOADING UP ANY CUP.  SCHEDULE OF EACH NIGHTS GAMES—–EACH TEAM WILL PLAY 3 GAMES A NIGHT, STARTING AT 830, 900, 930PM & 10PM.                                                                                     

SCORING LEAGUE POINTS——EACH GAME WON IS WORTH 5 POINTS, PLUS 1 POINT FOR EVERY CUP YOU STILL HAVE RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU AT THE END OF THE GAME. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN A TEAM WINS, AND THEY STILL HAVE 4 CUPS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM, THE SCORE FOR THAT GAME WOULD BE 9 POINTS TO THAT TEAM. (5 PTS FOR A WIN, 4 POINTS FOR 4 CUPS LEFT) THE LOSING TEAM GETS 0 POINTS, AS THEY SUCKED AND LOST. THESE POINTS ARE WHAT THE STANDINGS ARE DONE OFF OF.    

RE-RACKS—-2 RE-RACKS PER TEAM FOR EACH GAME. YOU CAN RE-RACK IF YOU HAVE 6 CUPS OR LESS. YOU CAN ONLY RE-RACK BEFORE YOUR TURN, AND MAY NOT RE-RACK WHEN YOU GET BALLS BACK, DURING REBUTTALS, OR OVERTIME                  

RE-BUTT-AL—–WHEN THE SHOOTING TEAMS HITS THE LAST CUP OUT OF THE ORGINAL 8 CUPS, THEN THE OTHER TEAM GETS THEIR REBUTTAL SHOTS. BOTH OF THOSE TEAM MEMBERS SHOOT UNTIL THEY MISS. IF THE REBUTTING TEAM ELIMINATE ALL CUPS, THE OVERTIME STARTS.                                                    

OVERTIME——OVERTIME WILL BE 3 CUPS, PLACE IN ANY ARRANGEMENT EACH TEAM WANTS. NO RE-RACKS IN OVERTIME.  DO THIS UNTIL 1 TEAM WINS, REPEAT OVER TIME AS MANY TIMES AS NEEDED.                                                                          

ELBOW RULE——YOUR ELBOW MUST STAY BEHIND THE BACK LINE OF THE TABLE. DON’T BE A JERK, KEEP YOUR ELBOW BEHIND THE LINE. ANY DISPUTE SHOULD BE HANDLED BY PLAYERS, IF IT CANT BE SOLVED INFORM ANTHONY AND HE WILL MAKE A RULING. IF NO DECISION CAN BE MADE, A REDO OF THE SHOOT WILL HAPPENS. REPEATED VIOLATIONS WILL GET YOUR TEAM AN AUTOMATIC LOSE OF GAME          

NO REBUTTAL RULE—-REASONS WHY THERE COULD BE NO REBUTTAL ON SOME GAMES….                                                                                                                                       

-TEAM MEMBERS BOTH HIT THE SAME LAST CUP ON TABLE                                       

-TEAM MEMBERS HIT SAME CUP WITH 3 OR LESS CUPS ON TABLE                         

 THIS IS BECAUSE THE SHOOTING TEAM SHOULD GET BALLS BACK DUE TO THESE SHOTS, BUT SINCE THERE WOULD BE NO CUPS TO SHOOT AT BECAUSE THEY DOUBLE CUPPED YA. THEN IT IS GAME, SET, MATCH!!!                                                         

ADJUSTING CUPS DURING GAME—–PLAYERS ARE REQUIRED TO ADJUST CUPS BACK TO ORGINAL FORMATION AFTER OR BEFORE THE OTHER TEAM SHOOTS. WE ARE A FRIENDLY LEAGUE, AND LINING THE CUPS BACK UP IS WHAT WE DO. PLAYERS MAY ALSO PUSH CUPS BACK OF THE EDGE OF TABLE IF ANY PART OF THE CUP IS IN DANGER OF FALLING OFF. THIS MAY BE INBETWEEN OPPOSING PLAYERS SHOTS.                           

HEATING UP RULE—-IF THE SAME PLAYER HITS 2 SHOTS IN A ROW, THEN THEY MUST CALL OUT “HEATING UP”, AND IF THEY HIT THEIR NEXT SHOT, THEN THAT PLAYER CAN CONTINUE TO SHOOT UNTIL THEY MISS. THIS IS DONE ASAP AND BEFORE THEIR PARTNER SHOOTS. OPPOSITE TEAM REMOVES CUPS AS THEY ARE HIT.          

FOULS—–IF A TEAMS SHOT HITS YOUR HAND OR BODY PRIOR TO TOUCHING ANY CUP, THEN THE VIOLATING TEAM HAS TO DRINK ONE CUP, AND THE SHOOTING TEAM RE-SHOOTS THAT SHOT. YOU CAN BLOCK A BOUNCE SHOT                                     

CUPS FILLED WITH BEER——ALL CUPS MUST HAVE BEER IN THEM, NO WATER. HENCE THE NAME OF THE LEAGUE “BEER PONG LEAGUE”.  CUPS CAN NOT BE FILLED FROM A PITCHER YOU ARE DRINKING FROM, MUST BE A FRESH PITCHER BE FAIR ABOUT IT, NO ONE WANTS YOUR WARM HALF DRANK PITCHER!!!!!                                            

OTHER RULES——–NO FINGERING, BLOWING, FANING, ISLANDS, BEHIND THE BACK IF BALLS COME BACK SHOT, CROSSING THE EDGE OF THE TABLE FOR A FAKE OUT, OR TOUCHING BALLS IN CUPS!!!!! WE PLAY SEMI-OLD MAN RULES!!!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE TO FINISH YOUR CUP OF BEER PRIOR TO SHOOTING, OR THAT SHOT DOES NOT COUNT, NO REDO’S.

RULES MAY CHANGE FROM WEEK TO WEEK, IN ORDER TO KEEP THE PACE OF PLAY QUICK, AND COMPETITIVE. THIS IS A LEAGUE WE HAVE FUN, AND WILL MAKE SURE IT’S THE BESTEST EVER!!!!
