How to run a beer pong tournament
- 1
Set the house rules first
Agree on cup count, re-racks, bounce shots and overtime before the first game. Post them by the tables so nobody argues mid-game.
- 2
Count your tables
Each table is a field in the template, and games are assigned across them. Two tables for 16 teams works; more tables means less waiting.
- 3
Pick a format
Single elimination keeps the night moving. Double elimination gives every team a second life through the losers bracket.
- 4
Enter teams in pairing order
The first two teams play each other, then the next two. With an odd count, the teams at the end of the list get first-round byes.
- 5
Record winners and share
Tap the winning team after each game and undo if needed. Share the read-only link so teams can check when they're up by reloading the page.
