    It's actually being aired on ESPN 8, The Ocho. Rumor has it Chuck Norris is being brought in to commentate the event.

  • In all seriousness, are the finals really going to air on ESPN? I know last year ESPN did a article about it and seemed to be following the finals a little... Thanx

  • I've posted about this several times before, but here's a summary:
     
    - We have been doing everything possible and talked to most every major network (and smaller ones) over the past several years (and especially this past year).  There is some interest out there, but they have some concerns.  I do not think their concerns are entirely valid, but until they better understand what this "beer pong thing" is really about, we can only keep fighting to show them what is up.
     
    - While it is possible somebody might take a different approach to the networks that could change this, I do not believe anybody could get this on TV if we can't.  I am not being disrespectful to any other person or company.  However, based on the people our team has talked to, often the top decision makers at some of the networks, my sense is that we've gone as far as we can, i.e., it is not like another person will be able to reach a higher person to pull this off.
     
    - Nothing is yet confirmed.  Our team is still working daily on trying to make something happen.
