Abstract

A tiered beverage pong game system comprising a plurality of tiered platforms, each having at least one of a width and a length that is greater than any higher tiered platform and a plurality of recessed beverage container placement markers located on the tiered platforms, each configured to seat a beverage container thereon. A top tiered platform comprises a single recessed beverage container placement marker and each tiered platform comprises a greater number of recessed beverage container placement markers than any higher tiered platform. The beverage container placement markers may be removable or interchangeable and may comprise one or more cutout portions in the bottom of the beverage container placement markers.

Claims

1. A tiered beverage pong game system comprising:

a plurality of tiered platforms, each tiered platform having at least one of a width and a length that is greater than any higher tiered platform; and

a plurality of recessed beverage container placement markers located on the tiered platforms, each recessed beverage container placement marker configured to seat a beverage container thereon;

wherein a top tiered platform comprises a single recessed beverage container placement marker and each tiered platform comprises a greater number of recessed beverage container placement markers than any higher tiered platform.

2. The tiered beverage pong game system of claim 1, wherein each tiered platform comprises a quadrilateral shape.

3. The tiered beverage pong game system of claim 2, wherein the plurality of tiered platforms comprises four tiered platforms.

4. The tiered beverage pong game system of claim 1, wherein one or more of the recessed beverage container placement markers comprises a bottom having a cutout portion therein.

5. The tiered beverage pong game system of claim 3, wherein each tiered platform comprises a lesser number of recessed beverage container placement markers on a top surface of the tiered platform than is located on the tiered platform directly below.

6. The tiered beverage pong game system of claim 3, wherein a lowest tiered platform comprises four recessed beverage container placement markers on a top surface of the lowest tiered platform along each side of the quadrilateral.

7. The tiered beverage pong game system of claim 6, wherein the second lowest tiered platform comprises three recessed beverage container placement markers on a top surface of the second lowest tiered platform along each side of the quadrilateral.

8. The tiered beverage pong game system of claim 7, wherein the third lowest tiered platform comprises two recessed beverage container placement markers on a top surface of the third lowest tiered platform along each side of the quadrilateral.

9. The tiered beverage pong game system of claim 4, wherein the cutout portion in the bottom of the one or more recessed beverage container placement markers is located proximal a center of the bottom of the one or more recessed beverage container placement markers.

10. The tiered beverage pong game system of claim 4, wherein the bottom of one or more of the recessed beverage container placement markers is removable.

11. The tiered beverage pong game system of claim 1, wherein one or more of the recessed beverage container placement markers is seated within an opening in a top surface of any of the tiered platforms.

12. The tiered beverage pong game system of claim 11, wherein the one or more recessed beverage container placement markers is removable.

13. The tiered beverage pong game system of claim 1, wherein one or more of the recessed beverage container placement markers is seated within a recess in a top surface of any of the tiered platforms.

14. The tiered beverage pong game system of claim 13, wherein the one or more recessed beverage container placement markers is removable.

15. The tiered beverage pong game system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of tiered platforms is coupled to a flotation device.

16. The tiered beverage pong game system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of tiered platforms is configured to collapse within a center of a lowest tiered platform.

17. The tiered beverage pong game system of claim 1, wherein a beverage container is positioned on one or more of the recessed beverage container placement markers.

18. The tiered beverage pong game system of claim 17, wherein the beverage container comprises one or more of a liquid and a solid weight therein.

19. The tiered beverage pong game system of claim 17, wherein the beverage container comprises a weight configured to hold the cup upright when a ball is bounced into the beverage container.
