Create a pyramid on one side of your ping pong table with the plastic cups. Starting from the backline of the table, place four cups together. In front of those cups, place three more. In front of those, add two cups. Finally add one red cup in front. You should now have a pyramid laid out on the table.
Press the cups together so that they are all touching. This is imperative when it comes to beer pong. True connoisseurs of beer pong will insist that the formation is tight. Think of pressing them together the same way you "tighten" a rack of pool balls.
Add two bottles (or cups) of beer to all of the cups that you've laid out on the table. Make sure you spread out the beer evenly throughout all of the cups.
Repeat this entire action on the other side of the table. This means making a pyramid, making sure it is tight and adding two cups of beer to the beer pong table.
Provide two cups of water (one for each side) which you can use to clean the ball off with in between tosses. This is imperative, as you do not want to drink beer that's had a dirty ball traipsing all over the ground of a collegiate dorm. You are now ready to play beer pong.
