With the greatest spectacle in beer pong only four months away, players all over the country are searching for their chance of winning free entrance into The World Series of Beer Pong VI™.
Fortunately, our friends over at All American Beer Pong have put together a tour for the month of September that will give players across the country a chance to win their way to Las Vegas. Featuring a total of 12 WSOBP Satellite Tournaments in just one month, the AABP Tour will be sending 20 aspiring beer pong players to the WSOBP to compete for $50,000.
“Players everywhere have asked for WSOBP Satellite Tournaments”, said AABP Founder Marc Jamieson. “With the biggest beer pong event in the world just around the corner, we figured there was no better way to make the players happy than to go out and do a full tour”.
Each tour stop will feature a double-elimination tournament run according to the official World Series of Beer Pong standards. Entrance will be $40 for a team with two guys, $30 for a coed team, and $20 for a girls team. The grand prize of each event will be entrance into The World Series of Beer Pong, which includes a four night stay at the world-famous Flamingo Hotel, as well as 3 days of non-stop beer pong action.
“All American Beer Pong has put together a great tour that will go a long way towards showing people around the country what beer pong is all about.”, says WSOBP Co-Founder Skinny. “These Tournaments will be well-organized, exciting, and most importantly, tons of fun.”
Players can sign up for any of the tour stops now at All American Beer Pong’s website.
Bouncing around from couch to couch can be tough work. That’s why it’s a good idea to relax with a game a beer pong a few times a night. We asked Johnny B. Homeless, star of Atom.com's newest series Johnny B. Homeless, to help you out, dropping knowledge on how to drop any type of beer pong competition. To follow all of Johnny's wacky adventures, got to http://johnnybhomeless.atom.com/?xrs=orea_bp_johnnyb The Venue: Ironic Drinking Games Party in Echo Park Hipster parties are the best. They’re just like normal parties except everyone drinks twice as much because they are sad and awkward.
The only problem is couch space can be hard to find at the end of the night. Some of these hipsters take the homeless thing to a whole new level. I was at a party last weekend in Eagle Rock and some guy was there with a shopping cart!
The Opponents: Surprisingly Hot Hipster Girls Hipster girls love me. They say they like the way I dress. Which is crazy ’cause I almost never change.
The Strategy: Get The Glasses I alway say one of the keys to beer pong is you gotta be able to see. Hipster girls almost always wear glasses, so you just ask to borrow their glasses and — BOOM! — you’ve eliminated one of their most important skills: seeing.
The Outcome: Who Cares There’s nothing drunk hipsters girls love more than taco trucks. And I’m guessing these ladies must have been high because they suggested we hit up the taco truck midway through the game! Plus they smelled a lot like kind bud.
One of them even let me crash on her couch and didn’t wake me up the next day until like 3pm in the afternoon. It’s like she had no job or something. Good times.
The Final Word: Hipsters are just like me, except they don’t pay their own rent and I have no idea how.

The Venue: UCLA Grad School Party The good thing about grad school parties is the beer flows freely and it’s almost always the good stuff.
The bad thing is I hardly know what any of these people are talking about. I can talk to anybody, but I don’t care who’s running for the Senate this year; I don’t even play fantasy football.
The Opponents: Former Frat Boys Frat guys who try to pretend they’re no longer frat guys are nuts. I think I play a lot of beer pong, but these guys have muscle memory that would make Tiger Woods jealous.
The Strategy: The Power of Music If there’s one thing I’ve learned about frat dudes, it’s that when they’re drunk they love singing along to the cheesiest music ever made.
I ask to plug in my iPod. Letting a black guy choose the music at a party is pretty much the same as if Obama showed up and gave everyone a high five, so I know I’ll be good. I let some crazy broad load OAR’s “That Was a Crazy Game of Poker” into my iTunes a few years ago hoping it would help get me some. Unlike then, hopefully this plan will be a success.
The Outcome: Victory Apparently it’s a lot harder to sink ping pong balls when you are screaming “oh-aye-revolution” at the top of your lungs.
But the best thing about hammered frat boys is they’re always the first to get the “drunken munchies.” Before I started the next game, I sent them off on a taco run. Victory numero dos.
The Final Word: One drunk frat boy in the hand is worth two tacos in the mouth. Good times.
The March issue of Maxim Magazine recently hit newstands across the world, and with it came a seven-page feature article covering this past January's WSOBP V tournament.
The article, entitled "Beer and Gloating In Las Vegas" spans pages 70-76 of the issue which also features the ridiculous hotness of Big Bang Theory's Kaley Cuoco (we'd love to see her handle a few balls). Penned by Josh Eells, a freelance writer whose client list includes Blender and Spin, the spread features a bevy of action shots from veteran photographer Matt Salacuse and contains a detailed recap of the three-day event including heretofore unpublished insights into Ron Hamilton's family life (you know you want to know how he's been spending all that cash), as well as some highlights of other beer pong celebrities such as SoCal Beer Pong founder Peter Rusch and Vince Bolhuis of 2nd place finishers Since Sliced Bread.
The issue hit stands Feb. 16th and can be found in magazine racks across the country. It is also now available online. Every pong player owes it to themselves to go out and pick up a copy of beer pong history. Right on, Maxim.
The improbable has happened. Nick V has finally won another tournament.
While it is common knowledge that Nick has been riding the notoriety of his WSOBP I victory for a bit too long now, he finally stepped it up and won a Satellite Tournament. Along with Joe Eastman of ‘Designated Drinkers’ fame (4th at WSOBP IV), ’99 Problems but a bid aint one’ showed that indeed, a bid aint one of their problems. Besting a field of 49 other teams at Drunkenbear’s February 13th Satellite Tournament in Chicago, 99 Problems secured their spot in WSOBP VI by narrowly defeating ‘Vince blows’ in the finals,
Combined of Drunkenbear founders Zen and Marv, ‘Vince Blows’ was an unlikely team to even win a game, let alone make it all the way through the winner’s bracket. Leading 6-2 at the end of the first game of finals, Vince Blows naturally choked and handed 99 Problems the victory. The top three teams were:
1. 99 Problems but a bid aint one 2. Vince Blows 3. Man Bear Pig 4. No Break Pads
Drunkenbear will be hosting their next Satellite Tournament this Saturday, Feb 27th at Junior’s Sportslounge in Chicago.
Smashing Time does it again! For the second year in a row, Ron and Pop have won the World Series of Beer Pong and the $50,000! Congratulations to Smashing Time, as well as 2nd place team Since Sliced Bread who played an amazing tournament, and came within one cup of winning it all. Full results are available here
I don't know if this is the right place to post this but are there videos anywhere for games like these? I 'd like to post them to my blog ( http://www.beer-pong-table.net/blog/)

In a move which should come as a surprise to absolutely no one, Smashing Time officially signed up (again) for the World Series of Beer Pong in the eleventh hour last week.
The move seemed to be expected by almost everyone except one of Smashing Time’s members, Ron Hamilton, who in an exclusive interview with the Barn Animal, detailed his plans for attending the World Series of Beer Pong without Michael “Pop” Popielarski.
“if pop left me i would have prob devised a plan to have him arrested the night before leaving for vegas, look up rape victims that said there rapist kinda looked like pop.. broke something and left something in his car and called the cops, or had him arrested the night beofre by calling the cops saying he was drinking and driving because the night before vegas is a Thurs night which he would prob be at a pong tourny lol,” Hamilton wrote as his library internet time ticked down.
“and if he fucked me over i was going to probably play with Brian Dean and we are Hey Mike played since like 2000 together and won everywhere. Or wait at a pong tourny , wait for him to leave get him in the dark and break a knee cap or arm or something,” Hamilton added. “hurry up only got 8 minutes left at the library.”
The signing ended days of speculation surrounding the defending World Series of Beer Pong champions’ plans for this year’s tournament in Las Vegas. The initial rumor indicated that Hamilton had worked out a deal to play with Jason Chichester from Florida. Later rumors suggested that Popielarski had also made plans to play with Chichester, whose tremendous accomplishments on the beer pong table have inspired many new parents to name their kids after him.
In text messages obtained by the Barn Animal, Popielarski had second thoughts of playing with Chichester even as the deadline approached.
“idk I really can't stand that [expletive], im going to change my cell number tom. He keeps saying he will do anything for me to play with him. He told me he will pay my taxes and [expletive] if we win again. I dont want to listen to his sorry [expletive] either, I dont want him calling me 24/7 about how much of a loser he is and how his toilet is backed up with months of [expletive] cause he cant pay his water bill. he has the money but he is too illiterate to write a check,” Popielarski wrote.
“Ron Hamilton is a [expletive] car crash, and nothing can save him from running head first into that tree on a dead end road. I would rather play with you, but who knows what that kid will do, hes a sick person who is beyond help. I will play with him this one last tournament and that is it, I will get a restraining order so he cant be near me again, I get sick of standing next to him reaking of [expletive] and jack daniels. My septic tank backed up last year, and the smell reminded me of ron, he wears his underwear till they rot off his body, and his dirty wet socks he wears for weeks on end smell like ammounia.”
Despite the couple’s amazing performances in national competition, many in the beer pong community had grown weary of the team’s “hot and cold” relationship. While the Smashing Time reunion will undoubtedly be a relief to both Hamilton and Popielarski, it will also come as an early holiday gift to those who follow the two in the BPONG.COM™ internet forums.
“It's about damn time. I got tired hitting the refresh button every 12 seconds to see if they would make the deadline,” said the pasty Steve Healy, whose “Jacked and Tan” is registered for this year’s tournament. “They were causing more drama than an episode of Dawson's Creek. Ron finally got his Joey and all is right on the pong world.”
Although Peter Wianecki enjoyed watching the drama unfold, he agrees with Smashing Time’s decision to play together one last time.
“The break up circus was entertaining and generated a lot of buzz, but in the end it’s not surprising they are back together. Though they had a disappointing showing in Socal, you don’t just break up a $75k team without one more run at the big show,” Wianecki said. “Mark my words though; this is the last time they will play together at a major tourney.”
On the heels of Smashing Time’s announcement, BPONG.COM™ announced it would be extending the deadline to sign up for the World Series of Beer Pong one more week, to provide ample time for teams to sign up who were waiting on Smashing Time’s fate before deciding whether or not to register. Several potential suitors who had hoped to team up with Pop or Ron are now scrambling to find new teammates. Since the announcement, an additional 47 teams have signed up.
Several players feel much better about their chances of winning now that Smashing Time has decided to play together.
“I’d rather have them play together,” said Mike Farley of “Yeah… That Was Easy.” “At least its only one team to worry about. Separating them may have made it worse.”
And yes, this will be the last article on Smashing Time.
