Really? I agree with Jason on this. How are the two competing? Really? REALLY lol tell me how the two are competing for business, please. I have respect for both, and don't think to this point either has been detrimental towards the other Have you ever considered there are people that can afford to go to only 1 large beer pong tourney a year? Those people have to choose between the WBPT and Bpong. How are they not competing against each other?

Billy, I wasnt suggesting you werent trying, just giving my opinion that overseas is were, in my opinion, the winner will be. I would expect nothing less than for a company to try to expand. Also in terms of competion, of course there is some. Both companys are being ran by individuals who love Beer Pong, so they do not want to hurt each other. Its more like two brothers that compete at everything, it makes both better than everybody else. It would have been really nice to see the AC tourny stay and maybe go along with the spirit of trash talking Beer Pong and have the west coast v east coast battles (without any Tupac's or Biggie's being shot of course). Then we may have seen an NFL setup of AFC v NFC. Beer Pong is going nowhere. The only thing that could stop it now is the FED and with the types of ppl that play Beer Pong, it would just end up being national marketing on a grand scale like adding parental advisory stickers on CDs. Beer Pong should be so lucky. I hope some of your ideas materialize Billy, I am pinning my hopes on Beer Pong to keep me young for decades haha.

Those people have to choose between the WBPT and Bpong. How are they not competing against each other? have you considered the # of qualifiers being ran from now until June will probably be like 300? I'm sure people can win at least one of those, especially with the 1 a month rule. The WBPT qualifiers are not nearly as scarce as WSOBP sattys. Free entry FTW - As far as flying, work some OT, mow a lawn or 2, shovel some driveways, pimp yourself out to the fags in the Village, do something. Where there is a will there is a a way. And if for some reason you can't win a free entry, come april I'll have 5 or 6 i'll be selling, i'll cut everyone a deal.

I'm sure if you asked them, they would confirm. All the East Coasters recently complaining about how they can only make 1 vegas trip a year will also confirm the two companies don't compete over the same demographic. Unfortunately, it does not only come down to winning a bid. Even after winning a bid, you are easily looking at another $500 in expenses for a Vegas trip, not to mention many people have scarce vacation time. Last edited on Nov 13th 2009, 10:01 am

The vacation time, yea I can see that being a problem. I guess depending on your job an extra $500 is easy or difficult. I'm lucky I have a good job plus my brother lives in vegas so I'll just steal all his food

The one thing I do like about the WBPT is the two rack rule as you choose. I think it brings in more strategy but I hate the shoot til you miss rebuttle, it makes for like 30 ot games.

I'm sure if you asked them, they would confirm. All the East Coasters recently complaining about how they can only make 1 vegas trip a year will also confirm the two companies don't compete over the same demographic. "Nowhere in your rambling, incoherent response did you come close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. We are all dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul." Sorry, had to throw this in there... This ridiculous argument has been going on for too long. They are clearly competitors. Think about it this way, if they truly were not competitors (not competing for the same demographic with the same product), then they would be able to hold their competitions at the same time, in the same place, without losing any prospective business (I awknowledge the abundance of commas in this sentence). Also, I think you may want to research the term demographic...Just about the only way that statement could remotely be considered in the region of being correct is if the WPT held their tournament on the East coast, because all other characteristics (besides geographic location) of the beer pong population remain the same. "wianek" Unfortunately, it does not only come down to winning a bid. Even after winning a bid, you are easily looking at another $500 in expenses for a Vegas trip, not to mention many people have scarce vacation time. I agree with you on this, which again, is why they are competitors. Thank you for backing me up. This is not saying that they are not both promoting and helping the sport to grow in general. They are. Last edited on Nov 13th 2009, 02:52 pm

Upon a re-read it has become embarrassingly apparent. I guess that's what happens when you're reading two words at a time as you minimize/maximize your browser whenever your boss walks by, haha. I guess I should have taken the quality of Wianek's past posts into consideration before believing him to have said something like that. I think I'm going to go ahead and leave that up to humble myself a bit... Last edited on Nov 13th 2009, 03:17 pm

I'd rather listen to fran drescher getting attacked by killer bees in tunnel with a everlasting echo. Point is, competition is good for the consumer. More people, as of right now, prefer Bpong because they have been around longer, more established, etc. Fact of the matter is, eventually WBPT will get on that level and will give us, the consumers, choice, which is great. If you can't make both, too bad, choose one. If you can make both, even better. I know I will be at both, and I could care less if they are competitiors with eachother or not. Why don't we let the people running the companies worry about that and how they are going to deal with it. Convo over. Last edited on Nov 13th 2009, 03:43 pm
