This sucks if you already won a bid its bad enough you have to play with a different partner and sit 30 days but now you cant even win a complete entry package anyone else agree this sucks.

Sam and Neil made a smart choice with this decision, it will increase signups overall at there massive 40+ city pong tour launching this Feb. Worldpongtour.com get ur weight up I believe you are completely wrong. There is a long discussion on this on Sam's FB page. But I guess since we brought the convo here, here ya go : Issue #1. For instance, here in Western New York there are 6 or 7 tournies from Buffalo to Albany within a 2 week span. I plan on winning the first tourney on day 1 in Buffalo. Since I cannot compete at all, myself, as well as crew members are no longer going to make the trips to the tournies these two weeks. In essence, if we totaled 4 teams in my crew over 6 tournies, 50 bucks a team, thats 1200 dollars the WBPT is missing out on. The same goes for say Travis and Mikey who win the next tournament per se. They always bring a crew with them as well, there is another 1200. Before you know it, from the Western New York teams alone, where we have a smaller crowd then say NYC, you have lost 5 grand in 2 weeks. Issue #2. Some players feel like they are being robbed. The WBPT goes into EVERY single qualifier planning on giving away a hotel room and tourney entry to two players. This makes is seem like you are now banking on us to win with new people so that you guys can save money and not pony up a full prize.... See More Issue #3. Arguably, 90% of players don't know who they are playing with in AC, especially if they win bids with 6 people. Being banned from events, does not allow us in any way to practice with any of our partners competitively. If I want to go to Ohio and play in a tourney with Patrick Fallon, essentially us trying each other out, we CANNOT do it, because the WBPT does not allow us the venue to do so. Again losing more money from people not playing. In the end it seems like the WBPT will be losing more money from people not showing up to events, than eliminating Pops and trying to get people back. People are always turning 21, there will always be people to fill spots who have no idea who we are.

Or is WPT more of an East Coast thing? Competition for the sport would be awesome. If there's a backstory between the two somebody let me know.

I'm glad that there is another company that stepped up and ran a large scale tournamnet however I couldnt agree with you more on several of your statements. One thing that I'm pissed about is if I win another tournamnet all you get is an entry only.. no hotel that is valued at $150??? so you pay $25 and you win $150 I can win that at the corner bar that hols tournys on WEDS night with 1/3 the competition

First of all if I go out and win 10 satellites, guess what you still sold 10 entries and all these teams are still gonna show up at every satellite cause theres no way in hell anyone is gonna go out and win that many times, especially with the caliber of competition out there now. Even if Smashing Time went to every satellit I went to, guess what I would still be there competing in all of them. So instead of me going to 10 satellites this year I will be attending 1. Along with a shitload of other teams. Think of the money your missing out on. Do you really think there are that many shitty teams out there that are gonna come out to these things consistently? All your good teams are actually serious about beer pong and will attend every tournament they can, therefor giving you a hell of alot more money than some shitty team that attends a couple a year. You are pissing on your biggest customers. And even after you win your satellite you still have to pay for that shitty ass hotel? Well at least I can pay for it with all the money I'll be saving by not attending your satellite tournaments Fucking JOKE!!!!

Plus if you're winning every satellite you deserve it if you go 7-0 or 8-1 or 9-0...economy sucks everyone needs money if you can capitalize on a scale why limit it.... Still wicked hungover. yeah it sucks if the same guy or team wins every singles qualifier..but that is what practice a several beers and some luck is for..so you can beat the other team
