Your teammate is extremely confident about that last cup, and everyone else in the room suddenly has opinions about your aim.
Give that partnership a name worth writing on the bracket, whether you're playing beer pong at an adult party or keeping the cups alcohol-free.
Beer pong names I'd put on the bracket
- Unfinished Cup Business: My favorite for the pair that insists the comeback is still happening.
- The Rerack Committee: Ideal when discussing the arrangement takes longer than taking the shot.
- Cup Side Story: A playful choice that is easy to say and doesn't need an explanation.
- That Was a Practice Shot: For the very confident team with a generous definition of practice.
- One Cup, Many Opinions: Especially good for friends who coach each other through everything.
- The Table Has Turned: I'd pick this for a doubles team that enjoys a little harmless competition.
