This month's issue of Maxim magazine has a 7-page well-written article detailing events from this year's World Series of Beer Pong. Had you been on the camping trip last weekend, you could have heard Fat Kid narrating the entire article while sitting around the campfire. The article would not have been complete without multiple pictures of SCBP players. Go buy a copy and check it out.

The location is Silverwood Lake. You can make your reservations by clicking this link http://www.reserveamerica.com/camping/map_of_Silverwood_Lake_Sra/r/campg... and choosing one of the sites (68-78 preferably).

Andy Aupperlee put together a great gallery of pictures at WSOBP IV, and he did it again this year. Check out explosion5000.com for his quick rundown. Otherwise, his gallery is located on flickr.

SCBP at WSOBP V

Instead of breaking in the new year with a tournament, Fat Kid was hoping that we could have a "jolly good time" with a group camping trip. With two solid weekends coming up - Feb 6/7 or Feb 20/21 - let us know if you're down.

Email contact[at]socalbeerpong[dot]com so that we can get a rough head count to make a reservation.

On Huntington Beach City Council's agenda today (Tuesday) is a resolution that will place numerous stipulations on businesses looking to apply for, or renew, their alcohol licenses.

SCBP at WSOBP V:
SCBP had a deep field of teams compete at the World Series, ranging from the uber-competitive down to the those looking just for a great weekend in Vegas. SCBP Group Picture As per usual, every team had a blast. Before this gets hot and heavy into the details, here's a little rundown of SCBP doin' work (thanks to Dan from Team Beirut): Make Cups Right Now Na Na
Smashing Time:
By now, you've seen that Smashing Time has repeated as World Champions. To repeat as a winner at a 32 team tournament is a difficult task. Coming out on top in fields of 400+ teams... two years in a row? That is a monumental feat worth applauding. Instead of giving them any more credit, I'll let that $50,000 comfort them into another year of complaining about getting banned from local tournaments1. Boo hoo.		Pop & -NAME?- of Smashing Time
East-West Showdown:
For those that didn't put their bodies through the beating of doing New Year's Eve in Vegas, the start to WSOBP V came at the third annual East-West showdown. Unlike the previous two years when we got our asses handed to us, the West took care of business this year. Read the rundown here. The tournament as a whole ran more smoothly than last year's windy, no space, no mic, and finishing in Tom Feliz's room debacle. This year, security cut the lights		Gary & Mike of One Tree Hill
right before the final match, threatening a repeat ending. They suggested we go "play at O'sheas where you can actually play with beer in the cups" (thanks for tip ass-hole... just turn the lights back on and let us finish). Skinny helped save the day, and Mike & Gary sealed the night with yet another tribute to a terrible WB show.

1 An old saying goes, "You can't keep going back to the same well – it will run dry." Bans at local bar tournaments exist for a reason (see previous sentence). If that reasoning isn't enough, you now have 50,000 more reasons to not get any sympathy from your fans at SCBP. [Return]

An extensive recap of WSOBP shenanigans will be posted here soon. In the meantime, be sure to check out Attack of the Show tonight (Monday) on G4 at 7:00 pm (may be 7:00 EST, which would be 4:00 here). Use the G4 channel search to find out which channel G4 is for your TV service provider. They will be reairing the same show tonight/tomorrow at 1:00am, 4:00am, and 12:00pm. Check your local listings to verify times.

Group Picture
For the last couple of years, we've gotten a SCBP Group picture taken. Please plan to meet up after the last games of Day 2 are finished. There is usually a big backdrop for photo ops - and finding the group there shouldn't be a problem if you are on the lookout.

Shirts
