So the other day i was playing beer pong and this is what happened...?

I was versing 2 of my friends and 1 of them was not near the table. His teammate was so the game was still being played. I decided to bounce the ball and his teammate didn't swat it. The player that was absent comes back and says it does not count because he was not next to the table and could have swatted the bounced ball away if he was present. Should my bounced shot count since one of my opponents were present or should it be a do over because one of my opponents were absent?
