Game Mat

Abstract

This disclosure relates generally to a game mat. In one embodiment, the game mat has a first cup section and a second cup section. Each cup section includes a set of cup apertures arranged to hold cups for the game of beer pong. The game mat is made from a material that causes the cup apertures in the first set and the second set to lock cups into place. In this manner, the cups are stabilized thereby preventing spills during game play.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A game mat comprising:
 a. a first cup section including a first set of cup apertures each aperture having a top and a bottom;   b. a second cup section facing the first cup section, wherein the second cup section includes a second set of cup apertures each aperture a top and bottom; and   
       wherein the first and second sets of cup apertures have a first and second diameter and wherein the first diameter is located at the top of the first and second sets of cup apertures and the second diameter is located at the bottom of the first and second sets of cup apertures and further wherein the first diameter is larger than the second diameter. 
     
     
         2 . The game mat of  claim 1  wherein apertures within the first and second sets of cup apertures each comprise a center point and the distance from center point to center point of adjacent apertures is approximately equal to the diameter of a cup to be placed in the aperture. 
     
     
         3 . The game mat of  claim 2  wherein the first and second sets of cup apertures are arranged as mirror images of one another. 
     
     
         4 . The game mat of  claim 3  wherein the first and second sets of cup apertures are arranged in a triangular shape. 
     
     
         5 . The game mat of  claim 2  wherein the distance from center point to center point of adjacent apertures is approximately 3.5 inches. 
     
     
         6 . The game mat of  claim 5  wherein the apertures have a first diameter of approximately 2.5 inches. 
     
     
         7 . A game mat comprising opposing cup sections, wherein each opposing cup section comprises a plurality of cup apertures further comprising a first diameter and a second diameter, wherein the first diameter is larger than the second diameter. 
     
     
         8 . The game mat of  claim 7  wherein the cup apertures further comprise a top and a bottom. 
     
     
         9 . The game mat of  claim 8  wherein the first diameter is located at the top of the cup apertures. 
     
     
         10 . The game mat of  claim 9  wherein the second diameter is located at the bottom of the cup apertures. 
     
     
         11 . The game mat of  claim 10  wherein apertures each comprise a center point and the distance from center point to center point of adjacent apertures is approximately equal to the diameter of a cup to be placed in the aperture. 
     
     
         12 . The game mat of  claim 11  wherein the opposing cup sections are arranged in a triangular shape. 
     
     
         13 . The game mat of  claim 12  wherein the distance from center point to center point of adjacent apertures is approximately 3.5 inches. 
     
     
         14 . The game mat of  claim 13  wherein the apertures have a first diameter of approximately 2.5 inches. 
     
     
         15 . A beer pong mat comprising:
 a. a first cup section including a first set of cup apertures arranged to hold cups for beer pong;   b. a second cup section facing the first cup section, wherein the second cup section includes a second set of cup apertures arranged to hold cups for the game of beer pong; and   wherein the game mat is made from a material that causes the cup apertures in the first set and the second set to lock cups into place.   
     
     
         16 . The beer pong mat of  claim 15  wherein the first and second sets of cup apertures have a first and second diameter, wherein the first diameter is located at the top of the first and second sets of cup apertures and the second diameter is located at the bottom of the first and second sets of cup apertures and further wherein the first diameter is larger than the second diameter. 
     
     
         17 . The game mat of  claim 16  wherein apertures within the first and second sets of cup apertures each comprise a center point and the distance from center point to center point of adjacent apertures is approximately equal to the diameter of a cup to be placed in the aperture. 
     
     
         18 . The game mat of  claim 17  wherein the first and second sets of cup apertures are arranged as mirror images of one another. 
     
     
         19 . The game mat of  claim 18  wherein the first and second sets of cup apertures are arranged in a triangular shape. 
     
     
         20 . The game mat of  claim 19  wherein the apertures have a first diameter of approximately 2.5 inches.
