DRUNKEN BASEBALL (COMPLEX)

FREE FOR ALL

Equipment:

Rules:

Set up the cups on one side of the table in a line of 4 with water in them (Shown below).
Figure out the "batting" order. Who goes first, second, third and fourth.
Offence: The player who is "batting" stands on the opposite side of the cups (shown below) and attempts to shoot the ping pong ball into the 4 cups. If they miss that is 1 strike!
Defense: The other 3 players stand behind the cups. Anytime the ball hits the rim of a cup and bounces up they can try and catch the ball. If they do so that is 1 out!
Cups: The closest cup is "A base hit", the second up is "Two base hit" the third cup is "Three base hit" and the fourth cup is a HOME RUN! (explained more below)
General Rules for baseball that apply to this game (for those that do not know baseball):

Each player when they are up to "bat" gets 3 outs. Each "out" consists of 3 strikes. If they get 3 strikes (miss the cup 3 times), they get an out! Anytime there is an out, the strikes get reset. Anytime there is a hit (sunken cup) the strikes reset. Once the player gets 3 outs, switch with the next player.
Bases: If you score the ball into the second cup which is a two base hit, you are hypothetically on second base. Which means when you throw your next ball, if you hypothetically get it into the third cup which is a three base hit, you hypothetically make it to home base and score a run (point).

Now because you are a one person team, you move the bases like a point system which is different then real baseball. In the scenario above, you technically would also have a player on third base. This is not the case. (Shown below)
Once you make it home you just reset, no loading the bases. (Shown below)

Play 3 innings which basically means play 3 rounds. Which means every player would get 9 outs in total to try and get points.

Drinking Rules (optional):
