The Best of The West is scheduled for July 24th, to be held in Phoenix, AZ. 10 person teams from various regions all over the Pacific Southwest will compete - So Cal, Norcal, Vegas, AZ, New Mexico, and El Paso. Anyone can get a squad together and sign up, but the teams need to have 10 players. If you are interested in playing, send an email to contact[at]socalbeerpong[dot]com. Hotel rooms can be booked for $45 if reserved by July 1st. Cost is $65/player, with the payout planned for the top 4 squads. Drinks will be cheap, and there will also be a shuttle to take drunk players back to the hotel after the event is over.

SCBP teamed up with On The House for an afternoon WSOBP VI Satellite Tournament at Austin's paradoxically HD-less Sports Grill in Corona (no HD for the US-Ghana game). With 44 teams signed up, and no mic, it looked to become an afternoon of multiple people losing their voices.

A few highlights of the event:
- 2 girls (Women Be Shopping) nailing 3 straight redemption shots to send a game against Sessions into OT - Mike Wan doing his best possible Tiger Woods impersonation
- A fantastic mustache
- An epic game from Bako's Zakless, with OT captured on video
- A set of falling-just-short runs through the loser's bracket from Norcal's Cup Check and IE's El Nino, who won 6 and 5 games straight respectively
- A couple new teams making really deep runs: 2 Guys, 1 Cup and Suck My Balls

In the winner's bracket final, first timers AC/BC did not have enough to take on My Giant. A loser's bracket semi-final got interesting as usual teammates faced one another (Castro and Fat Kid), 3/4 players engaged in some non-stop shit talking (Castro, Fat Kid, and Wattenberg), and all 4 players (add in Brandon) forgot how to hit cups. Playing as Your Chin Looks Like an Ottoman for My Nuts,Fat Kid and Wattenberg prevailed, then took out AC/BC to make it to the final. They weren't a match for Gheorghe Muresan, who got extra juicy and danced his way to the set of bids, carrying Billy Crystal by his side.


Champs - My Giant

2nd - Your Chin Looks Like an Ottoman for My Nuts

3rd - AC/BC

In the highly anticipated first WSOBP VI Satellite of the year, expectations were thrown out the window. Some usual suspects could not swing the weekday arrangement, and in general, SCBP players have not had the same chances to keep their pong games sharp. Looking to take advantage of a now rare WSOBP satellite tournament, carpet baggers from the north swooped in to participate. Much to our chagrin, but to their credit, they rolled down and picked apart our rusty teams. Congrats to Drinkin Smokin Straight West Coastin for their win, and to 3rd place Cup Check who might've won the tournament if it weren't for their carpool buddies. SCBP's lone bright spot was 2nd place's best friend, Drippin Like Water, whose two losses came to Byron (who is actually from socal) & Sonomajoe.


Champs - Drinkin Smoking Straight West Coastin

2nd - Drippin Like Water

3rd - Cup Check

Sorry for the delayed results... St. Patty's Day gave SCBP a month long hangover. Congrats to Hey There Sasquitch, who overcame a loss in their first game, and rolled off nine straight wins en route to their win. MTB's Finest had control, winning the winner's bracket final over Haters Love Us, but could not seal the deal.
Champs - Hey There Sasquitch

2nd - MTB's Finest

3rd - Haters Love Us

Given the slow start to SCBP's 2010 season, an explanation is in order. For some, a break is always needed after the hectic pace of beer pong life leading up to the WSOBP. For the SCBP co-founders, it has been nice to not run around hosting tournaments seemingly every weekend. But we do have another excuse, as life has gotten quite a bit more hectic as 4 people are planning an expansion to 6. The timing was impeccable, and improbable, proving the "back door = no babies" theory to be inaccurate. The pong world shall tremble at the idea of Our Dads Started This Gangsta Shit making their first official appearance at WSOBP XXVI. Stay tuned, as the season shall start soon (spring/summer league... wsobp satellites... other social events)
