MUPolo BeerPong Tournament

March 26, 2010 12:30 amtoMarch 27, 2010 2:30 am

Ladies & Gentlemen,

The first social event for the 2010 MUPolo calendar has been decided, and what better way to kick of the 2010 Melbourne Uni Water Polo season than Beer Pong Tournament!

For those of you who have never heard of Beer Pong – you are about to have your eyes opened to an entirely different realm of sport. Beer Pong is a drinking game in which players throw a ping-pong ball across a table with the intent of landing the ball in a cup of beer/alcoholic beverage on the other end. The game typically consists of two two-to-four-player teams and multiple cups set up on each side set up in triangle formation.

The goal of the game is to eliminate the other teams’ cups before one’s own cups are eliminated. When a ball lands in a cup, which is generally 1/3 full, that cup is eliminated and the defending team must consume all of the beer/alcoholic beverage inside that cup and any other cups knocked over.

So there you have it, a simple yet beautiful and highly entertaining game for both the competitors & the spectators.

An appropriate venue is still being decided however keep this date free for what promises to be an outrageous night of competition for all members.

All are welcome and teams will be randomly drawn on the night so rsvp so we can organise an appropriate venue for what is no doubt going to be one of the most memorable nights in the 2010 MUPolo calendar!
