Never played it.

That is beer pong, aka Beirut.

I normally play with 10 cups if it's a small gathering, 6 cups if there are 10+ people playing.

I've never played it with paddles, but I've heard of this being done in the midwest.

The bounce is a legal shot, but can be swatted, and if you make it, you must drink 2 cups instead of one.

And cripples should not play this game as shown in your picture. It requires great reflexes to catch the ball when your opponents miss.

That table is too small. Also, once a cup has been hit, the defending team has the responsibility of removing that cup from the table before the second shooter shoots. If they fail to do this, and the second shooter hits the same cup, it's game over.

And losers have to drink all remaining cups on the table.

That is beirut, which is played with 10 cups and usually 3-4 beers.

Pong is played with paddles, 6 cups, and 4-5 beers (whatever constitutes a full pitcher). A table that short/narrow would make for a really really bad pong game.

This is how we play it, bounces can be swatted, if made you must drink two cups. If we have two people on each team then you must give the balls back if they make both shots. Great game, another question is how much beer do you guys use when filling the cups. Half full, quarter full?

They play it with paddles at Priceton too. I think it's much more fun without paddles.

no, beer pong is different than beirut.

the pictured game is beirut, which involves throwing, and sometimes bouncing, ping pong balls into cups.

beer pong is played with paddles, just like regular ping pong. except, there are 2 cups per side, and the object is to 1) hit the opponents cup and 2) score points after the cup is hit

3 beers/side for 10 cups
2 beers/side for 6 cups

Usually about 1/4-1/3. Not so much that drinking an individual cup slows down the game. Sometimes the middle cup is full, I'm not sure how common that is though.
