<br /> <blockquote>
"The best game to play in
the pool involving a football and a few
friends"
</blockquote>
Rules
The rules of the game
are borrowed from Volleyball, Ping Pong, Basketball and
Football.
The game requires teamwork as well as individual
athleticism.
The game can be played with teams of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
We have even had individual competitions.
The football is to
thrown over the net. A point is scored for serving team when the
ball hits the water on the opposite side. Rally scoring is in
effect. This means when a ball is thrown out of bounds the
receiving team scores. A team is deemed winner when it has 21
points and a two point lead.
Players may catch and hold onto the
ball for as long as their feet do not touch the ground.
History
Bing Bong was invented in 2005 at
SUNY Institute of Technology.
The founders are Zachary Bennett and Josh Glassberg, two of
SUNYIT's Students.
Equipment
The official ball for all Bing Bong matches is a
Glow-in-the-dark football. This choice was made due to the fact
that it is waterproof.
