While a full description of this event will have to wait until I can get one of the participants to describe it, I can safely say this Thursday night happening was a great way for a lot of people to expend some energy and dump some stress. Imagine your usual ping pong, combined with musical chairs (without the music), and a little bit of tag thrown in, and well, that doesn't even accurately depict it. I think someone got some video of this, and I know there are some pics that I will get later. I do know that if a cologne were to be created from the odor of this small room with at least two dozen people in it, "Old Locker Room" would fit the bill. And this despite everyone having showered earlier in the evening!
Maybe a video will explain it better...

Man Pong is a multi player version of Ping Pong where the number of players is limited only to the size of the room. The players all circle around the table. The first player serves the ball, then immdiately drops the paddle in the center of the table. The next person (to their left) then quickly moves into the spot, picks up the paddle, returns the ball, drops the paddle in the center of the table, and quickly moves out of the way (to the right.) Due to the number of players we had, we played single elimination, but you can also play "PING" or "PIG" to keep score for a longer game. When it comes down to the final two players, determine who chooses to serve by bouncing the ball closest to the opposing player's paddle. After serving, set the paddle down, spin 360 degrees, pick the paddle up, and attempt to return. It's quite a challenge to get that spin in during a fast paced game of MAN PONG!
