Pong-O™ is a new sport based on beer pong and bag toss that is played with ping pong balls and a target of cups. The object of the game is to toss the ball into one of the cups for points. The outer cups are worth 2 points and the inner cup is worth 4 points. Defense can score on a missed ball so accuracy and agility are key. The game can be played with two people for singles or four people for doubles.
How to Start: Coin flip to see which team is home. Visitors start off on offense and thus are the first to toss. Home team always gets last toss. The winner of one game is home for the next game. Games can go quick so usually a best of 3, 5 or 7 games is played.
How to Earn Points and Win: Points are earned by either offense or defense at the end of a round by subtracting points. The game is completed when a player or team reaches 21 points or greater. Home team always gets last toss. Winners get Home advantage for the next game.
Offense: The offense player will toss 4 balls (a round), one at a time. Each ball that lands inside an outer cup is worth 2 points and 4 points for the inner cup. The offense must keep their feet behind the foul line but may lean over the line. The Defense must be behind the foul line before each toss but tosses can be done quickly. The "Perfect Toss" is all four balls in the center cup which is an instant game winner.
Defense: A ball becomes catchable by the defense if it bounces off the cup or passes below the top plane of the cup target. A caught ball is worth 1 point but the defense must hold onto them until the end of the round for them to count. If the defense catches all four, they are awarded 2 bonus points for a total 6 earned points. If the defense interferes with a non-catchable ball then the offense is awarded 3 points. Defense must remain behind their foul line until the ball becomes catchable.
