We know many of you have been eagerly awaiting Bing Bong to get more tables in stock. Thus, we come bringing news.
Read on . . .

Not only will the new Bing Bong tables get here in mid- to late-November, the brand-spankin' new Bing Bong tables BPONG style will be here. Check <--more-->out the Merchandise Page now because you've got to see these bad boys.

First, the arrival: the tables are supposed to arrive and thus should start shipping the week of November 22. Now, the disclaimer: if they don't get here by then, we can't ship one by then. We have been told, however, that this date is pretty solid, so let's all hope for the best.

The Preorder: Once these bad boys get here, they will retail for $139.99 (we think). We're currently selling them for $129.99 up and until they begin shipping. Thus, preorder yours today, save a few bucks, and your new table will ship out the day they get to us.

That's it for now regarding tables, but we're psyched to be adding this product to our product line, and we're sure you'll love these as much as we do.

In some other notes, the WSOBP satellite tournaments have been kicking ass, and bars have been throwing out some teams that all claim to already have their name on the twenty large. Too bad there will only be one World Champion come January and we'll only be making one payment for $20,000.

Got to get back to it, but keep checking back. We'll have some new products in a month or two, and we're working on some sweet new shirts, so stay tuned.

Many of you probably know of Jim Birdsall. He did the voiceovers for the NFL Films. What you may not know, however, is that he is now officially the shit – he narrated The Greatest Game Ever Played, a tribute to the greatest game ever played (beer pong/Beirut/Lebanon, obviously). Be sure to check out this clip. Special thanks to Mike and Tim with Gametime Entertainment (USC students) for the BPONG plugs!

Leagues: There are some well developed pong leagues out there, but we’ve been finding that many of them don’t know of each other, so we figured how the hell would you know about some of them? We’ve started a section in our forums for these leagues to get out there and get known. The leagues are using our forums as a springboard to get their names out there. Be sure to check it out to get to learn about the leagues, their players, and their events. Also feel free to jump in and ask questions for the other league members to answer. We have a feeling that we’ll be seeing some killer pong competition from out of some of these leagues at The World Series of Beer Pong,™ so use these forums to start scoping out the competition – so far, nobody has been shy about how great they really are (but can they back it up?).

New Shirts: Well, they aren’t that new, but I don’t think we ever mentioned them on the front page before. After several demands, we finally printed up our popular black beer pong shirt design on a white shirt. Check them out on our merchandise page.

That’s it for now – keep checking back, though: more is always on the way.

Ho-leeee shit, you might be saying. Yeah, we pimped our ride. It was about freaking time.

We are proud to announce that WSOBP II signups are officially UNDERWAY! This year we're allowing players to reserve their spots with a $100 deposit, so get in there before we're all filled up!

These updates are coming at you quick and dirty in rapid succession, much like your rapid attempts to remove a pube from your pong ball. Therefore, bear with the brevity, but we're working on too much behind the scenes to go into too much detail.

(1) Tables: BPONG.COM has come to agreement with Bing Bong, Inc, and we will again be using Bing Bong tables at The World Series of Beer Pong II.™ These tables fold up in a neat little box and boast an 8' length, 2' girth, and ride 29" high. BPONG.COM is now selling these bad boys (along with the 7' counterpart for those scared of getting one too big), so order yours today.

(2) Girls' Shirts: Yet another thing long over due, we started selling a phat shirt for all the lady pong fans out there. While it's still debatable as to whether girls should even be playing the game (chill, we're joking!), one thing's for sure - every cute girl needs one of these shirts.

(3) 2006 Sports Travel Awards: Vote it up! SportsTravel Magazine is taking votes for this past year's best "NEW Sporting Events." We'd love your support in getting recognition for The World Series of Beer Pong.™ Not only does it help us out, it helps show the world that beer pong is indeed a sport. Here's what you need to do: (a) visit SportTravel's site; (b) scroll to the bottom to "NEW Sporting Events" (or use PageDown if you prefer); (c) type "The World Series of Beer Pong" in the first blank; (d) "Submit Ballot"; and (e) tell all your friends to do the same. Don't delay! The deadline is July 15, 2006.

(4) CurrentTV Covers The WSOBP I: For all those fans that like to see pong on TV, check out CurrentTV for the segment covering The World Series of Beer Pong.™ If you'd rather be out playing pong instead of sitting in front of your TV for it to come on, just view it from CurrentTV's site.

(5) WSOBP I T-Shirts: We still have a few shirts left from the WSOBP I. They are limited edition and they are all size mediums. If you are interested in one, please email us (use Contact page on BPONG.COM). We will be asking $25.00 for them (these sold at the event for $20.00, and the extra $5.00 will cover shipping and handling). No more of these will ever be printed, so this is your last chance to score a phat WSOBP I t-shirt.

After one hell of an event this past January, you’d better believe that BPONG.COM is bringing you The World Series of Beer Pong™ II. We’re making it bigger and upping the stakes to $20,000. We are still putting together all of the pieces, so we cannot give you any additional details - we don't have them yet. Be sure to keep checking back for the latest information as it becomes available.

Signups will begin sometime during the summer of 2006, and we are hoping to start taking pre-registrations/registrations in June. When signups have begun, BPONG.COM will be the place to be.

In the meantime, and while you're here be sure to check out our new WSOBP II promo video: WMV - MOV low - MOV high.

WSOBP I T-Shirts: We still have a few shirts left from the WSOBP I. They are limited edition and they are all size mediums. If you are interested in one, please email us (use Contact page on BPONG.COM). We will be asking $25.00 for them (these sold at the event for $20.00, and the extra $5.00 will cover shipping and handling). No more of these will ever be printed, so this is your last chance to score a phat WSOBP I t-shirt.

It's been a while since I've written anything here, but it doesn't mean we have not been busy. We are already planning The WSOBP II (hint: the dates will be similar to those of The WSOBP I, perhaps a day earlier), and we have been working on many other things that are taking a ton of time to finalize.

As such, we have not had a ton of time to update the website. We've been busy shipping orders and putting the pieces together for a lot of new things, which actually leads me to the next thing. If any of you beer pong fans want to help contribute to our work on the site, use the Contact information from the Contact menu and let me know. Please note, however, that if we do decide to use help from anybody, we are really only looking for people with strong design and web design skills (CSS/XHTML). While we are at it, if any of you have any phat ideas for t-shirts, let me know. We are especially interested in getting a line of shirts for girls, and we'll definitely throw some cash your way if we really like what you come up with.

There are a ton of other things I could say here, but I've got to go throw some of your orders together and get them out the door.

We've got a couple things for ya today: First, we have the WSOBP Collage! It covers all four days of the tournament, and if you were there, chances are you're somewhere in that thing. So be sure to check it out. All the photos have captions that you should see when you move your mouse over the image. There are a lot of you whose name or team we didn't know, so if you see a picture with a caption that says "we don't know who you are", click that photo to email us. Be sure to have your mouse over the correct photo when you click it. Also, if you don't have Javascript enabled, the captions won't work.

Second, we got your bragging rights right here! The full statistics from the WSOBP, and I think you guys are really going to like them. We've got everything from a state-by-state breakdown to profiles for the top 32 teams, to a clickable finals bracket that traces each teams progress through the tournament. And of course, for the record, we have the final standings of each team. If you prefer, you can look at all the stats on one page. Definitely worth checking out. We recommend starting with the bracket.

Enjoy!

The World Series of Beer Pong™ was a HUGE success. Don't ask us, though - ask all the people that were there. Check out our full coverage here. They just called my row to board the plane to head out, but I just wanted to congratulate Nick and Jason of Team France of Ann Arbor, Michigan on taking home the $10,000.

Sign-ups are still open! Want to face the best pong players in the country at the first-ever WSOBP? Pong players are coming from across the country to participate. The shindig starts January 2nd with free-for-all play at The Oasis Resort and Casino just outside Las Vegas. If you think you've got the cup-sinking skills it takes to walk away with the $10,000 grand prize, head over to the sign-up page and we'll see you in Jan!

Also, if you're on Myspace, we got a group going. Check it out, meet people, talk trash, post your pics . . . all that good stuff... For some reason we can't post to our own group right now (wtf?), but we're working on it . . .
