Standard solo cups are bigger (~18 oz), which is why the bpong cups look smaller (only 16). I would disagree that they are rigid. I guess I've seen hundreds of bpong cups the last couple of months, and I've noticed that there are some that are fairly rigid, and others that will lose their shape the second you pour liquid in them (bottom falls out, and they start to tilt funny). Most fall in between. In general though, I'd say that the bpong cups have thinner, less rigid plastic than solo cups. As for that mattering at all - you are right that it doesn't.

Finally someone with a solution. You are wise, sir. Problem solved. Thread can be closed.

As long as everyone uses the same cups it shouldn't matter. If your a smart enough shooter to lob shots for softer landings n get lucky then your just better than people throwing lasers n knocking cups over. Have the championship game play with coffee cups if people think there that great of shooters.
