nd very little in the front three. The front three are easier to hit, because they are closer to the person shooting, so if you put less beer in them, it would make the game harder for your opponent. Even though this is the way that I was taught the game, most people play where you put enough beer in the cup so that it reaches the first line. In the red cups mentioned previously, there are a series of lines inside, the closest to the bottom being the first line. After setting up the cups, each team goes to opposite ends of the table, with one ball each. This only happens in the first game though, because the teams will shoot to see who goes first; no drinking is done yet.

When there are three cups there is one cup in front and two in the back. When there are two cups left they are placed in an I formation, with one cup behind the other. When there is one-cup left, it is centered at your end of the table. These rules are almost always a...
