The only thing I don't like in 1v1 the way a lot of people play it is 2 ball shoot till u miss redemption - with two good players game can go on forever.

I think you have a good chance of hitting your second shot whether you made the first shot or not. I would probably enter the singles tournament either way but I would like to see players have one shot per turn.

I think one ball no rollbacks is a better option than 2 balls with a rollback.

The event would probably start somewhere around 8:00 on the night of the 2nd. Once we get some pieces set, we'll begin taking sign-ups on BPONG.COM.

This helps matches go faster, and it keeps the singles rules more closely aligned with doubles. For that reason alone I think it is more natural, but also I like the idea of rewarding 2 in a row. If we eliminated the 3rd ball back in 2v2 and just went shot for shot, it loses some of the "game" aspect, and I don't see why that's any different in 1v1. I think rollbacks have been an integral part of beer pong thus far, and although I have played shot for shot 1v1 (and it's fine..) my preference here leans somewhat toward the 2+ rather than 1 ball a turn. That being said, 1 ball a turn favors the more skilled player (as skinny and I have discussed rollbacks at length on here) although it possibly makes for less exciting games as come backs will be very unlikely.

First shooter gets one and then two balls from there on out. Rollbacks are a big part of the game. Come backs are exciting and getting an extra ball for making one shot is WEAK. Rebuttle rules should be the same also. If its a three cup rebuttle it has to be 1 2 3 one miss and its over not two balls shoot til you miss. One ball is slow even with good players.
