Pong Table

How to Use the Pong Table

Setting Up the Pong Table:

1. Choose the Right Location:

   • Flat Surface: Set up your pong table on a level, stable surface. This ensures that the table doesn’t tip or wobble during gameplay.
   • Space: Make sure you have enough room around the table for players to move freely and for the balls to bounce.

2. Unfold and Position the Table:

   • Unfold the Table: If your pong table is foldable, carefully unfold it and ensure all legs are securely locked into place. Double-check that the legs are stable.
   • Positioning: Place the table with one side facing the participants. Each side will have 10 cups arranged in a triangular formation, forming a pong layout.

3. Set Up the Cups:

   • Cup Arrangement: Arrange the 10 cups on each side in a pyramid shape (4 cups in the back row, 3 cups in the second row, 2 cups in the third row, and 1 cup at the front). This is the standard setup for the game.
   • Fill the Cups: Fill each cup with water (or another drink depending on your preference) to the desired level, but don’t fill them all the way to the top. A little less than half is usually ideal.

4. Prepare the Balls:

   • Ping Pong Balls: Place the ping pong balls on the table. Each team will use one ball at a time to attempt to land the ball in their opponent’s cups.
   • Optional: Practice Shots: Allow players to take a few practice shots before starting the game.

Playing the Pong Game:

1. Teams:

   • Team Setup: The game is typically played between two teams of one or two players each. Each team will take turns attempting to throw a ping pong ball into the opponent’s cups.

2. Taking Turns:

   • Shot Attempts: Players take turns throwing the ball underhand into the opponent’s cups. When a ball lands in a cup, the cup is removed from the table, and the opponent drinks the contents of the cup.
   • Rebounds: Players can attempt to catch the ball if it bounces off the table or the rim of a cup (house rules vary on this).
   • Respecting Turns: Only one player on each team can take a shot per round.

3. Winning the Game:

   • Eliminating All Cups: The game continues until one team has eliminated all of their opponent's cups by successfully landing ping pong balls in each of them.
   • Final Shot: The last team to land a ball in a cup wins the game! Some variations of the game include a "buzzer-beater" shot or a redemption round if a team has one remaining cup.

Cleaning and Storing the Pong Table:

1. After Play:

   • Empty the Cups: After the game, remove any remaining liquids from the cups. You may also want to clean the cups if they will be reused.
   • Wipe the Table: Clean the table surface to remove any spills or debris. A damp cloth or mild cleaning solution will work well.

2. Storage:

   • Fold the Table: If your pong table is foldable, fold the legs back up and secure them. Store the table in a safe, dry area until the next event.
   • Store Cups and Balls: Keep the ping pong balls and cups together in a safe, dry place so they are easy to find for your next rental.

End of Rental and Pickup:

• When you’re finished using the pong table, call Tubular Inflatables to schedule pickup. Ensure the table is clean and free from any liquid or debris.
