1. Classic Beer Pong Racks
The first time I saw the beer cup racks, I bought 3 beer pong sets just to keep for presents. If you are tired of playing with amateurs who just push the cups together, keeping the formation lose and bouncing off in many directions.

3. Beer Pong Table with Holes
Personally, the classic beer pong tables above work fine, but the tables with specific holes in them take it to an entire new level. The pre-filled holes keep perfect formation, avoid spillage from being bumped or windy days, and make sure no fouls are committed. It is easier to aim with the cups in the holes, and is less functional as made specific for it. This still makes you the hero of your next party. Get the price.
