Is this year going to be the same or our there plans of getting the schedules when we sign in on the 1st?

This, of course, has been our plan for four years. The problem is, we never have a final list/count of teams, because people fail to show up, complete signups, are up in the air, whatever. We are going to go through the list of signups and start calling people and hassling them to complete their signups and register their teams. We really want to have schedules printed the night before....

I hope you guys can pull it off, it would make the start of day 1 much easier thats for sure

I was jw if it would ever come into factor as to say a team that makes it to the 3rd day and only played say 1 or 2 other teams that make it?? i dunno if that sounds right or stupid haha??

I see what your saying but thats like saying in the NFL you say since the bears, vikings, packers have to play the lions twice you put that towards there strength of schedule and make whoever is eliglible for the playoffs suffer because the lions are just in there division.. Its not the teams fault who they get to play every year its already set. You have no idea who is or isnt going to be good on any given year. Same goes for beer pong, its all luck of the draw

I can't think of any organization where that would happen, nor can I really justify it at all. Regardless, the point of The WSOBP is to crown a champion. If you're eliminated because your record was 6-6, you don't deserve to be a champion, no matter how hard your competition was. So quit you're bitching, Bitchy McWhine-a-lot

Agreed. Although I could see it being used in the event of a record tie.
