3. Do NOT hit your opponent’s cup on the serve.
4. Each player must always rotate the order of play during rallies, but you are not penalized for serving out of order, but you should do your best to rotate.

The Scoring
Scoring is done with SMALL and BIG points.
Winning a point earns +1 SMALL point.
Five small points equals +1 BIG point
Hitting the cup on your serve is +2 SMALL points to your opponent.
Hitting the cup during play is +1 BIG point.
Going in the cup during play is +2 BIG points.
Winning a BIG, resets the SMALLs to zero.
First to five or more BIG points wins the game.
Play continues even when the ball ricochets off of a cup, and those points go to the winner of that point.
If the ball ricochets off a cup (+1) and hits another cup (+1), that is +2 BIG points.
If the ball ricochets off a cup (+1) and goes INTO another cup (+2), that is a total of +3 BIG points.
The losing players must drink after each BIG point
But if they serve before drinking, they lose another BIG point.
SMALL and BIG scores should be announced by the server before each point, starting with the server’s score first.
And that’s RonPong!
