The object of the game is to eliminate the opposing team’s cups before they can eliminate yours. If you have beer pong racks, it’s easy. If not, simply arrange the cups in a 6- or 10-cup triangle shape. Fill all beer pong cups about 1/4 to 1/3 of the way with beer. Place an extra cup, filled with water, off to the side for rinsing of your. Games - The online game is S L O W (and their board is back-to-front) but the strategy guide is worth taking a quick look at for pointers if you are new to the game Acknowledgments While my notes on Reversed Reversi are all original, parts of this strategy guide have been copied adapted from existing guides found on some of the sites referenced. So, OK, so this Cup Pong game maybe isn't as innovative as some of the other variations on the theme of ping pong we might know, but it's got promise. I think it's a case in point. When playful people have to figure out a way play ping pong without a net and on an office desk, the game that they create, because of the way they created it.

Authentic Sports Marketing
The morning started off with a presentation by Misha Sher, Worldwide VP Sports & Entertainment at Mediacom on ‘Creating Sports Excellence’. Misha encouraged marketers to ask, how can we break through the noise and add value to consumers? He gave examples of sports brands who had done this well, such as Heineken with their #ShareTheSofa campaign that made people all over the world feel like they were part of something.

Most importantly, when creating powerful sports marketing you should ask – Is it unstoppable? Would people choose to watch this and is it original?
Mobile and emerging technology
We then moved on to our first fireside chat, where Dee Frew, from the IAB UK interviewed Maggie Oswald , Senior Account Director at UM Worldwide on her experiences on working with FitBit.
Maggie explained how their research found the majority of consumers are researching on their phone and then go on to buy in-store. As a result, their creative is focused on awareness and engagement, as seen in the one LoopMe built.
Creative Director at R/GA, Ciaran McCarthy, then spoke to the audience about his experience working with on the ‘The Game before the Game’ campaign by Beats which first aired in 2014. The campaign went on to win numerous awards including a Gold Lion at Cannes.
He made an interesting point that one of the reasons why the campaign was so successful is because of the use of influencers and also observed that a 4-minute video was unlikely to work now, given that mobile adoption has rocketed in the last few years.
LoopMe’s Alex Hinds expanded on this in his keynote, highlighting that throughout the history of sports marketing, video has remained a constant feature due to its emotive power.
We rounded off the morning with a panel discussion moderated by Nicola Kemp from Campaign. Nicola interviewed Ryan Skeggs, of GiveMeSport, Linsdey Eckhouse of the NFL and Loic Dalle of Two Circles. Data driven marketing was a core focus, with all panellist agreeing that the use of big data effectively can unearth a wide range of possibilities for marketers, such as an increased understanding of the touch points a consumer interacts with the brand.
They warned about the danger of pigeon holing consumers into stereotypes, and said that in this day and age, every brand should know who their audience is and how to reach them but that sports brands have been late to the game in this adoption.

So, I imagine you decide to take a play break, you and your office mates, and discover among the secret horde of play paraphernalia, a couple of ratty paddles and a few relatively unblemished ping pong balls, and say to yourself:
So, OK, self, so we don't have ping pong table, and if we did, there wouldn't be enough room for it anyhow.
So you make your own table - out of a desk. And now all you need in order to establish the legitimacy of this being a ping pong table is a net. You don't have a net. So you make one. Out of paper cups.

And when they stop laughing long enough to start playing, they discover that if they hit the cups with the ball just right they can make the cups move toward their opponent. Downside of this is that it makes it more difficult for you to hit the ball over the imaginary cup line. Upside, that it makes the way for a whole new ping pong variation. Like, just as an example, the first player to knock the majority of cups over the edge of the table on the opponent's side, uh, wins.
Am I right?
When playful people have to figure how to play a game without the 'official' equipment, the game that they create, because of the way they created it, becomes an invitation to play, playfully.
So, OK, so this Cup Pong game maybe isn't as innovative as some of the other variations on the theme of ping pong we might know, but it's got promise.
I think it's a case in point. When playful people have to figure out a way play ping pong without a net and on an office desk, the game that they create, because of the way they created it, becomes an invitation to play. To make up new rules. Variations. To see what happens when some cups are place upside-down and others downside-down. And you put water in some of them. And as many ping pong balls as you can fit into some others.
