desperation diamond

In the game of beer pong, desperation diamond is a type of rerack only used when the player is losing and needs to sink four more cups. The rerack forms the four cups into the shape of a diamond. In most games of beer pong, you can only only rerack once; therefore you are giving up your rerack privileges early. This rerack is desperate but advantageous in certain situations.

You have one cup left on your side. You're opponent has four cups left on his side. You rerack since time is running out and you need the increase your chances of making cups.

You: Ah shit, I'll rerack...
Him: DESPERATION DIAMOND!

desperate diamond

the four cup re-rack formation in beer pong in which the shorter part of the diamond is pointing down the table. A clear act of desperation on behalf of the re-racking team.

this term is often mistakenly used to describe a dirty diamond, which has the longer part pointing down the table.

bp player 1: yo dude, I need a re-rack. I'm desperate.

bp player 2: going for the desperate diamond?

bp player 1: I've got no choice....
