At no point is anyone forced to drink and hence it makes the game no different than a bar game of darts or pool where people drink on the side as well.

Peter, do you have any contact info for the city council so the rest of the community can help you fight this? We had the same issue in Baltimore and because enough people wrote in and expressed their feelings and showed how our organized water pong is not an issue, the ban was lifted. As Piotr said, make sure you let them know there is a big difference between beer pong that people play at their houses or on their own at bars when they just set up their own tables to play on, and our organized tournaments that provide a safe and fun atmosphere for people to play "beer" pong in. It sucks that the frat house version of the game gives us such bad rep. -Garrett

Since I am such a model citezen in the beer pong community. Drink only water during tournaments, rarely yell any obscene gestures while playing, never confrontational and mild mannered in general. I feel that I would be a great representation for this meeting. Please let me know if you would like my attendance. Sincerely Kevin

This is such complete bullshit!!! Peter I DEMAND we do a sit-in or whatever people do to protest. I want to be lead counsel and sue for breach of my civil rights.......we could bring Mike and show them that black people play and beer pong inspires racial acceptance and unity. We could bring RJ and prove to them that we don't discriminate against age or lack of a hair line.....We could bring Kendon and open their eyes to a sporting even that doesn't alienate the handicap!!! GOD DAMMIT!!! BEER PONG MAKES US BETTER PEOPLE!!!!! BETTER FRIENDS!!!!!! BETTER HUMAN BEINGS!!!!! We must rise against.......with your intellect Peter and my amazing; almost unbelievable good looks, we could TRIUMPH!!!!!

Hey peter - contact us when you get your info together on when the meetings are and such - a point you can add to your list is the business that having these events is business that these bar owners would not get and in crappy economy america the bar owners should be on your team as well to help lobby against this. Plus you can always toss out that a national beer pong company (aka PORTOPONG) holds business offices in Hunting Beach with 1000's of inflatable beer pong tables in inventory inside their city limits that we pay rent on. Would they include not allowing us to conduct business - would we give our business to another city... ????? This is why anyone outside our world needs to step back and look at the larger picture and not focus on negatives. Cheers! Jerry from Team PORTOPONG
