Game 17: ELEPHANT BALL
To make any of the other games more exciting, just replace the standard Poly Pong ball with the new, ELEPHANT ball! This new 55mm diameter ball is nearly 40% larger in size. With its larger surface area and heaver weight, it makes playing an entirely new experience! We guarantee that that you will enjoy this new addition. Your younger kids will really have a blast, (or, is it a ball)?
Game 18: ROUND-THE-WORLD
This game is a workout! With each serve, players rotate one position clockwise around the table and continue the play. It works with any of the games with four or more players. A more rigorous game is played by rotating around the table with each strike of the ball. It works best when eight players, (two per court) are on the table. Use estra paddles when playing games where players rotate into the game from a waiting line.
Game 19: BUCKETS & BALLS
This game requires your players to attach a cloth cone onto the wrist of the their arm which isn’t getting a workout. Then with a paddle in one hand hand and bucket on the wrist on the other arm, the player has the option of either hitting the ball or catching it in the cup. If the ball is caught, the opponent who played the ball is out. If the ball is missed and not batted with the paddle, the receiver has fouled. This game allows for exercise and coordination training especially for young players. Another option is to tie the bucket onto the top of the head with the straps being tied under the chin. Another variation, especially for the younger children, is to use the nerf balls supplied instead of the standard Poly Pong balls.
Game 20: ELIMINATION
Game begins with up to 12 players , three per court on the table. Each has his/her own table edge to defend. Yellow begins with the serve. Whoever hits the ball but misses the table, fouls out and leaves the game. If the ball is played between two players and is missed by both, then both have fouled. If the ball is missed by only one player, by passing out of his/her court but not between two players, then only that player has fouled. As a player fouls out, the players rotate clockwise filling in the vacant courts places. The top blue court player rotates to yellow to become the new server. You attempt to keep the courts balanced with three, then two, and finally one player as players foul out of the game. The one who lasts to the end, wins the game. Extra colored paddles are available at the Poly Pong Store.
Game 21: WALLS & CEILINGS
This is an adaptation to any of the games posted. It requires that the game be played inside a room with at least one wall within 5 ft. from the table. Players may use the walls or ceiling also as bumpers to continue the play of the ball. When the ball strikes a wall or ceiling, the bounce count is reset allowing the play to continue. A player may bounce the ball off a wall as many times as he/she would like before having the ball return to the table or a bumper in any court. If a ball strikes a player, it is then out of play and that volley is ended. This adaptation provides fun and excitement far greater than you would expect.
Game 22: COIN FLIP
This game may be adapted to any of the games posted. A coin is placed in the center of each table, heads up. When a player causes his ball to strike a coin of any of his opponents, the play is stopped, and that player who caused the coin to be hit is awarded a point. If the coin flips to tails, he is awarded two points. Play resumes as before. A variation: The player who’s coin was struck yields up the points from his tally to the player who caused the coin to be struck or flipped.
