Article III. Specialty Rules
Section 1 In the event that the volleying team makes both of their pong balls into the opposing teams party cups in any arrangement be it same cup or different cups the "Bring 'em back" rule is in effect. This simply means that the volleying team is returned the pong balls, the opposing team consumes the previously hit beer cups, and the aforementioned team gets another round of volleying. However, "Bring 'em back" is invalid at the end of a match when no cups would remain to be volleyed into. This scenario would result in ether an end to the game or retaliation (see Article IV).

* Two balls in the same cup guidelines
* Specialty Bounce Rules
* Game length and intro to "Party Fouls"
Article IV. End game and retaliation
Section 1 In the event that the team with the volley sinks all of their pong balls into the opposing team's cups, resulting in no cups remaining, the following guidelines should be applied:
A. Retaliation occurs when the team with the volley has hit every cup on the opposing team's side. In this event, the opposing team is allowed an opportunity to try and sink as many pong balls as they can. Once a team member has missed, they cannot shoot any more pong balls. However, if a team member makes their shot, they may continue shooting until they miss or tie. Special rules apply (see Article IV, Section 2).
B. In the result of a tie, one cup has to be placed back on the table, and both members of the team have the opportunity to volley. Game resumes as normal.
Sections 2-3 These 2 sections could indeed be the most important sections of The Constitution!
* Section 2 describes the “Golden Rule” of Beer Pong…..which solves pretty much any argument that can arise at the end of a game (Beer Pongers…you know how bad the arguments can get!).
* Section 3 describes end game rules. The rules applied to the winning and losing teams (Drinking remaining beer cups….rules for new competitors…etc).
Article V. Party Fouls
The following is a list of party fouls that can occur during the Beer Pong match; if a party foul should occur, that team making the infraction must remove one cup of beer and consume it.
* Asking for a re-rack out of turn
* When a ball, once tossed, is slapped away or interfered with by the opposing team in any way.
* If a beer is spilled.
* Arguing a rule and losing that argument due to the fact that it is clearly stated in this Constitution.
* Having a mullet (One infraction per game).
* If a majority of the people present, players and observers, believe that one team member is being overly obnoxious; a cup is to be removed.
* If a team member is having a piss-poor attitude during the match.
* Removing any cups prior to the end of a volleying round.
