Beer Pong Rules Question

[egocidal]

After playing a lot over spring break I was lucky enough to get a little round robin action going in our dorm. Configuration was first bracket 6 cup 4 beer (I know, i thought it was a bit much too), second bracket 10 cup 6 beer, and finals 10 cup 8 beers. Obviously the amount of beer we used was not normal, but thats not the issue. Some of the kids I was playing with insisted that

1) bounces were never allowed
2)one throw per turn, that is only one person from each team can go before switching turns, as opposed to both throwing per turn.
3)blowing out the ball was not allowed

Now my father raised me to think that you can always bounced, both players (in a team game) throw before turns end, and blowing, or even picking, was allowed. This isn't just a "house rules" thing, because it was my dorm and my roomate was one of the people insisting on these weird rules. Whats the norm where you play?

Also, we couldn't agree on a rule about being skunked. And no, beer pong is not a gay-bee frat thing only.

Bouncing is allowed, but they can be swatted. If a bounce shot goes in, it is worth two cups.

Both players on a team shoot per turn. If they both make it, they get both balls back to shoot again.

Bitches blow.

also if you get it into a cup that your opponent is holding (if he's pouring beers into a personal cup for instance), you autowin. and if both players on a team bounce into the same cup, you autowin and the opposing team has to drink your cups.

Oh god... This reminded me of the constant rebuttal argument. We played like this:

I make your second to last cup. My teammate makes the last cup. Game over.
We start our turn with you having one cup. One of us makes it, one of us misses, you get 2 rebuttals. You just have to make one shot and the game continues. One of us makes it, the other chooses not to shoot, you get one rebuttal. You make it we keep playing. We both make the final cup, game over.

A nice change of pace game, for the superior player at Providence College, was to play battleship Beruit.
Our normal cups per side was 10 in the normal game, but instead of arranging them in the typical triangle, you aranged them in straight lines 2, 3, and 5 cups long. I'm sure others have done this, but it came out of my beer-addled brain one evening.

Another killer was Survivor flip-cup, where the losing side has to vote one player off, but maintain the same number of cups throughout the game regardless of the actual number of players.

Our rules exactly as well. Also, no penalties for overthrows, no auto-win crap at any time, and re-racks occur with six cups remaining (if you start with ten) and again with three cups remaining.

Regarding rebuttals: If you have two cups left and I make one then my teammate makes the other it is a fatality and the game is over. If this doesn't happen each player on the other teams gets to shoot until they miss. If the first player hits all of the remaining cups, the second player shoots to decide which team gets first shot in overtime (this is only an occasional rule and in other cases possession automatically goes to the first team to finish in regulation).

2 Back isnt a good rule, shoot till you miss is a better,
