Pong-Ping

Pong-ping is like ping-pong, but better. Similar-sized table and up to four players allowed on court at the same time. Each player has two bats. Whenever a player hits the ball, they need to shout "Nyeh!". If they shout it just before or after hitting the ball, they lose a point. This is called a Nyeh-loss. The round restarts after a Nyeh-loss.

Pong-Ping

If they shout it exactly as they strike the ball, they win a point. This is called a Nyeh-win. Play continues after a Nyeh-win, until a Nyeh-loss occurs. If the ball goes off the court or someone misses it, or it hits the net, play is simply resumed, i.e. no points are granted or lost. Every 30 seconds an alarm goes off and all players have to change positions, and tap their heads 30 times. The last person to finish tapping loses 5 points. A separate alarm goes off every 5 minutes, at which point all players need to engage in counter clockwise Cluck Rotation. This involves pretending to be a duck and running counter-clockwise around the table 3 times. No points are won or lost at Cluck Rotation. It is simply expected.

The game was invented by Geraldine McNutt-Face-Leg in 1847 and has been a popular summer camp activity ever since.
