How much beer should each bong hold?

Each beer bong should be filled with an equal amount of beer, usually one standard 12-ounce can or bottle, to keep the race fair.

What happens if someone chokes while funneling?

If a racer chokes, they receive a penalty and are disqualified from winning that round. They can still continue in later rounds if it's a tournament.

How do tournament rounds work?

Winners from each race move on to the next round until only two players remain. The final round decides the champion of funneling.

Why does foam count as remaining beer?

Foam indicates incomplete funneling, which defeats the purpose of the race. Judges will check the funnel for leftover foam to ensure fair play.

Setup

Line up each racer with their own beer bong on a stable surface, like a table or the ground. Prepare equal amounts of beer for each funnel, ensuring no racer has an advantage.

Tips & Strategies

Tilt the beer bong slightly while pouring to reduce foam buildup, since leftover foam counts against you. Practice timing your breath,opening the valve and starting to chug simultaneously will shave off precious seconds. Keep the beer at a moderate chill; ice-cold beer might slow the flow, but warm beer can lead to harsher penalties like choking. If you're aiming for the tournament rounds, pace your early matches to avoid sabotaging your later performance.

Relay Race Format: Teams of two or more take turns funneling, and the total time for all teammates determines the winner..
