A can of
beer is set on each corner of a retangular table. Each team takes a side and cracks their beers (not all the way, only slightly as to ease opening during actual play). Then one person on either team throws the pong ball at the opposing teams
beer. If they hit it they have to open their
beer all the way and then drink as quickly as possible while the other team hurries to get the ball and return it to the table. When the other team recovers the ball they must return it to the table< touching it to the table, and yelling
stop. This in turn signals the opposite team to
stop drinking. Now its' the other teams' turn. A team may have more than 2 players if one is unable to
run and designates a 'runner' (someone who returns the ball to the table after it is thrown). The object of the
game is to be the first team to drink both cans of
beer (hence the name "Speedball". You may not share/swap beers with each other or the opposing teams. You may not touch the other teams
beer. No one, outside of the players on your team, is allowed to assist in returning the ball to the table.
