What is Bingo?
Bingo is a custom ruleset of speedrunning in which you are given a 5x5 board of randomized objectives in a game and have to complete certain objectives on the board as fast as possible. Matches are played on https://www.bingosync.com/
Setting up a Bingo Room
If you are the one setting up a room go to https://www.bingosync.com/. You'll be greeted by this window to make a new room. Name the room whatever you want and if you want to enter a password, do so here. Give yourself a nickname and select Battle for Bikini Bottom in the game section. As for the mode, choose whichever fits the ruleset you wish to play by, as explained above. In general, if you want to do single, double, triple or blackout: Choose Non-Lockout. If you want to do Lockout Majority choose Lockout. The seed determines what objectives will be on the board, so leaving that box blank randomizes the objectives. Leave “Create as Spectator” unchecked if you are planning to play in the match. “Hide Card Initially” should be checked if you plan to see the objectives for the first time when starting the match. If you and your opponents want to be able to plan a route beforehand leave the box unchecked so that you make a route, then start the match.
Joining a Bingo Room
Once someone has set up a bingo room, they can copy the URL and password to send to others who plan to join. After clicking on the link you'll be greeted by this menu if a password was set. Just enter in a nickname and the password to enter.
General Rule Sets
When to Reveal Card
The typical ruleset is to reveal the card when starting up the race, creating a situation where you have to come up with a route as quickly as possible. However, you can reveal the card early if you and your opponents want to plan a route before starting the match. Both are valid just check which ruleset you and your opponents plan to use.
Lockout vs Non-Lockout
The two overarching categories for bingo are Lockout and Nonlockout. In Lockout, only one player or team can take a box, meaning that once an objective on the board is checked off, it is locked from all other players. Non-Lockout allows multiple players or teams to click the same box. The left board is a game that was played with Lockout rules while the right board was played with Non-Lockout rules.

Solo vs Team Bingo
In Solo Bingo, individual players face off against each other to mark boxes on the board. Solo doesn't necessarily need to be a 1v1, it can be played with more than just two opponents. Team Bingo has two or more players working together to complete objectives, most common in longer categories such as Blackout. Once again, Team Bingo doesn't necessarily have to be one team going against one another, there can be more than two.
Specific Rule Sets
Lockout
Majority
The only rule set commonly used for Lockout. The main objective is to lock a majority (13) of the boxes on the board. Once an objective has been completed and checked off by a player, their opponent(s) can't check it off. Because of this, Lockout majority requires a lot of skill in getting boxes quickly. This is what a typical round of lockout majority could look like:
Non-Lockout
Single Bingo
Requires a player to complete a row, diagonal or column of 5 in a row. First to get a five-in-a-row wins. These would all be valid single bingo routes:
Double or Triple Bingo
These rulesets are seen more often than single bingo. First player or team to get two or three five-in-a-rows wins the match. These are examples of double and triple bingo routes.
Blackout
First player or team to complete every objective (25) on the board wins the match. This is definitely a go-to rule set when playing in teams as you can divy up the objectives between players but it can be played in a 1v1 setting. In this board team red won as they completed all the objectives.

Many fans of the fun probability game that is bingo prefer to play the North American version which uses 75 balls. This can be attributed to the fact there are all kinds of patterns one can win with. At the start of a 75-ball bingo game, the caller would specify the winning pattern for the respective round. There are all kinds of patterns callers can experiment with. Some are made to resemble letters and numbers, others are more intricate and look like different objects and even animals.
These patterns are fun but some of them are next to impossible to mark off on your bingo card, precisely because of their intricacy. More straightforward patterns like the Top, Middle, and Bottom pattern are far easier to complete.
Top, Middle and Bottom Pattern
Top Bottom Bingo Meaning
The Top, Middle, and Bottom pattern is often called Layer Cake by seasoned bingo players so do not be confused when you encounter it under its bingo lingo name – both terms refer to the same thing. This pattern can be achieved only in the US variation of bingo, played with 75 balls because of the specifics of the grid it uses.
The tickets for this version of the game have 5×5 grids for a total of 24 random numbers, which range from 1 to 75. The word B-I-N-G-O is spelt on top of the ticket, with a letter placed above each column. The 75-ball bingo grids are short of one number because the third row is missing a number in its very middle so that there are only 4 numbers there instead of 5. This blank space can be used by players to complete a winning pattern, like the Top, Middle and Bottom one.
Top / Bottom Bingo
The name of the pattern is quite self-explanatory as it requires you to mark off all numbers from the top, middle, and bottom rows of your bingo ticket. Thus, you need five numbers to be called from the first tow, four called numbers on the third row, and five numbers on the fifth row. There is also a variation of the Top, Middle and Bottom pattern, called B-N-O Lines which is basically the same, only here you need five numbers to hit in your ticket’s B column, four from its N column, and five more from the O column.

Number of Calls for the Top, Middle and Bottom Pattern
Top Bottom Sample Sale
Calculating the exact probability of covering specific patterns in bingo is quite complicated because there are too many factors that bear consideration. You need to know how many players would join the game, the overall number of tickets, and the number of purchased tickets. This information can help you figure out the odds of winning the game with a pattern.
Top Bottom Bingo Store
The world’s biggest manufacturer of bingo products and equipment released statics on the average number of calls and winners for specific patterns, with results based on a computer simulation involving 70,000 games. According to these results, the average number of calls before a Top, Middle and Bottom pattern gets completed is 49.56 when 500 tickets are in play but drops to 42.81 when the total number of non-duplicate tickets increases to 6,000.
