New Paltz, NY – The State University of New York at New Paltz Wellness and Recreation Department is hosting a double elimination Water Pong Tournament Saturday Nov. 14 at 9 p.m. in the Hawk Center.
Students are encouraged to sign up through IM Leagues and show off their pong skills for a chance to win Hawks apparel.

Each game will consist of either six or 10 cup tournament (depending on number of participants) with the brackets based on the order that the teams check in. I order to qualify to play, students must pre-register through IM Leagues and bring their student I.D. cards. Masks are required as well.

To register, visit IM Leagues. Don't have an IM Leagues account yet? See below for instruction on how to create one.

Water Pong Rules:

• Each Player must release the ball from behind the table of their side.
• Players will get one re-rack for six-cup games, two re-racks for 10 cup games.
  • With two cups left, teams may ask for a "courtesy re-rack" touching the cups up in a line
• If a player knocks over a cup(s) then those cups are out of play
• Any successful bounce is two cups
• If you make the same cup in the same turn, the game is over
• If both players make their shots, they get both balls back for a second shot each
• There is no heating up or on fire
