The Return to Mesquite

Best All-Girls Team: Candy is Dandy But Liquor is Quicker

The first two World Series of Beer Pong were held in Mesquite, which is a poor man's version of Primm. It's the last stop on the 15 in Eastern Nevada, has a couple resort/casinos, some golf opportunities, and not much else. In other words, it's just about perfect. SoCal missed WSOBP I, but WSOBP II was a blast. Fat Kid won WSOBP III (held at South Point), but his favorite WSOBP was held in the white tent on the parking lot in between The Oasis and Casablanca.

Things have changed a lot since early 2007. The WSOBP has grown and competitive leagues have popped up all over the country (including this one). Unfortunately, Mesquite just isn't enough of a tourist draw to attract casual pong players, so got left behind with the move to Vegas. As a mid-year mid major destination, it has anything we pongers want: hotel rooms, a pool, food, blackjack tables, and the isolation that provides for good old fashioned kicking it with like minded people into the early morning. Hopefully next year draws enough people to make it worth bpong's efforts.

Best Co-Ed Team: Nolan and some Girl

The format for this 10k event: 8 pool play games, with the top 32 advancing to split double elim brackets, followed by a best 2/3 finals. SCBP had a number of teams make the bracket, but we did not fair as well as we hoped. Shep/Watt, Danny/DeHoop, and Fat Kid/Chad all went a disappointing 0-2 to finish tied for 25. Nolan/Laura also finished tied for 25th, but were not at all disappointed, as Laura was the only girl who made the final bracket. That meant that they finished as the best co-ed team, wrapping up WSOBP VII entry as a prize. Adam/Eisle won one game in the bracket, but finished just tied for 17th, just outside the money bubble (top 16). In the money finishers were:

t9th - Party With Sluts (Mark & Peter)
t9th - Global Icons (Paul & Wan)
t13th - Green Man (Walker & Kirby)

Rounding out the highlights are Candy is Dandy, But Liquor is Quicker. They did not dominate their competition, but outlasted the other all-girl teams. Katie and Jennifer finished 3-5 with a -11 cup diff, 10 cups better than their closest competitors (Ker/Pez). While others can celebrate their win in the main event, our players took home the side prizes. Congrats to Nolan, Laura, Katie, and Jennifer for doing SCBP proud!
