A
baht ras is a team based drinking contest where 5 persons face off against 5 other persons. The contest involves the activities of beer pong and flip cup simultaneously. The object of the contest is to shoot all
your team's balls into the cups at the end of the table and flip them over; the first team to have all cups flipped over wins the game. A baht ras is typically played underground in a basement; however, locations vary all over the world. For example,
baht rases in Baltimore typically take place in small rooms on Law school campuses.
It is customary, in most cultures, to play music during the
Baht Ras. Omar
Souleyman's "Wenu Wenu" is the traditional backing track to many contests. It is common for many Baht Ras participants to suffer mild
heat stroke induced by a trance-like euphoria, yet there have been no recorded casualties directly related to the contest as of 2015 (citation needed).
