Man we're going to get smoked. Man you were watching that day. I didnt think anyone saw that great game where I shot 37% and smoked everyone in the tourney.

I really hope we have some good days on Jan. 2-4 but you can never predict that type of thing. We will probably go either 0-12 or 12-0 on the first two days. It really comes down to a coin toss. Also, if you claim 60% but have never "written it down," my guess is you're more like 45% in reality. Writing it down is a heartbreaker, trust me. I thought for years that I was a 100% shooter, but when I actually kept stats for myself, it ended up I missed almost half of my shots. Weak. I guess you just forget the misses when you're not keeping track.

I always thought I was around 97 or 98%, but I started tracking and it was lower- like 93%. Once in a while I miss twice in a night and it completely ruins my stats.

Therefor they lie about their percentages or exaggerate. We'll all just see what happens in Vegas.

Dude, check the title of this forum - we're talking about the "World Series of Beer Pong," not a satellite tournament here in NorCal where 20% is considered pretty much unstoppable. If you think nobody is going to hit 50% as a team, then in the words of Judas Priest, you've got another thing comin' (and that "other thing" definitely isn't $50,000).

Oh we will, chief. Man I really hope you guys don't catch us on one of our 5% days. I once airballed every shot for an entire game...but then again one other day I shot 6 perfect games in a row. Some people are just streaky I guess. I'm not attacking you guys BTW, I'm just pointing out that people have a tendency to exaggerate percentages. Seen it a million times. They pretty much always add 10-15%. Been around this game for a long time even though I haven't been able to make it to the WSOBP until this year because of other shit I had to do.
