  • Well it's been almost a week now since all of this went down and I just found out about Jeff's write up and all the post on bpong. I like to first start off saying that I apologize to all the player's that where left in the tournament and to the one's that where left watching.. I am embarrassed the way this tournament turned out to say the least. Ive been working at Phillybeerpong for almost 2 years and I am currently running it all by myself. In Hine sight of what happened I realized I should have took control of the situation alot better then I did. I will learn from my mistake and hopefully be able to move forward with Phillybeerpong.
     
    As for everyone who got there money back for this tournament I am very disappointed  that you guys even had the nerve to ask for your money back. most of you guys are veterans to tournaments and should know better. If there wasn't threats to the owner of the bar about law suites and everything else you would have never gotten your cash back. I would have figured out a way to divide the cash between the remaining teams. I read Jeff's write up today about everything that went down and I just want to let everyone know I agree with Jeff about alot of things that he wrote but as far as making money on this or any other tournament that I have ever ran. Let the record show I haven't made a penny.. guys who come and play every week in our weekly tournaments will tell u I never take anything from there entry!!
     
    I would also like to comment on the fight itself. I was sitting right next to Kessler and John when the fight broke out.. as for punches being thrown I don't know how that would be possible with me on one side of Kessler holding his arm and Thomas on the other. Im pretty sure Thomas would agree that Kessler was throwing his arms to get us off of him. I would have thrown Kessler or anyone else out of this tournament if I felt that they where the cause of the fight. I think this whole thing was made out to be alot worse then what really happened. and I also feel ask if the guys that where in the bar at the time of the fight would have let me handle the situation the way I wanted to I think we would have been able to finish.
     
    There is really alot more that I would like to say about this I just dont have the time at the moment to continue writing on here today.. if anyone wants to hear everything I have to say about this give me a call 215-805-4426 in the mean time I am trying to contact Jeff to give him a complete story to put into his weekly write up.

  • Barnes Blog had 3 percent truth to it.  He gatherred information from John who fucking started the whole shit and the other 2 teams that were left in the losers bracket that were looking for an easy win and kicking Kessler out.
    All this Philly beer pong black eye shit is coming from gay MD kids anyway who think their players and tournamnents are the best when reality is they cant compete with the top talent and will never win at the WS.   I'll be down at your next tournament definately.

  • Man people love the gossip on here.  The reality of the situation is I am willing to take blame for my part in the altercation but this was definately provoked by John.  
     
    I wrote my response to the incident on Barnes blog so I wont get into that again.
    I will say that the decsion to end the tournament was the bar owners and not Teeks ( who runs Philly beer pong )  I been to just about every Thursday night tournamnet in the past 4 months and just about all the tournamnets there are a $200 payout for first place which is above avereage for a weekly tournamnet.   Teek has done a great job getting teams to come out and play every week.  I personally will no longer be attending which will leave it anyones money for the taking each week.

    your next tournament definately.

    Ehh... I think you are making it sound like I was making stuff up on purpose. I asked everyone I knew that was in attendance what happened. Kessler had a chance to comment and he declined. He will tell you that I even asked him about it. It's not really meant to be taken too seriously. Hence the term "rumor" mill.
     
    Basically, there was a fight, and that was that. I'm sure everyone's account is a little different. But for the most part, everyone's story (including Kessler's) essentially said the same thing. So I'd have to say it's a little more than 3% accurate (at least 50?)
     
    Maybe the teams that were left did want an easier path to the finals. I can't blame them. But there have been plenty of people like this from every region who have tried to advance because of a rules infraction. I remember Tone and Neil from WSOBP IV crying after a game in which Wet Ballz was touching the cups when they shot. I also remember them
    both crying after John (coincidentily) broke the plane of the table during one of the matches. It happens.
     
    Kessler is a great player, but no one is afraid to play him (except maybe the Mantis). He's played in a couple of tournaments in Maryland and I think he has only won once. I'm nowhere near as good as Kessler, and I beat him the only time I've faced him during a tournament. Sure, I'd rather not face him, but if so I am not going to worry about it.
     
    As for the other comment, almost everyone who has ever played in a Maryland Beer Pong tournament knows the tournaments are very well run, if nothing else. I'll put Austin's tournaments up there with anyone's as far as structure and efficiency. Kessler will say the same thing. I would rank some of our players among the best, but until their is a WSOBP title I don't think anyone is going to claim they are the best (except Foster). I think that a lot of Maryland players have boasted over the years but have been pretty humbled with the results the last few years.
     
    And Mike, sorry I was at work when you called. You can email me if you want. I don't really like talking on the phone.

  • hey guys i just feel i need to say a few things about phillybeerpong. First and for most this tournament shit is beyond frustrating to run i know because i started these tournaments with teek. I eventually gave up on it because i hated having to rely on people from Maryland,jersey and Delaware to show so we could have a decent tourney. The fact of the matter is Teek and i just enjoy playing at the exspense, time and money out of Teeks pocket ; not me cause iam a cheap son of a bitch lol. But anyway i respect the fact that Maryland runs great tournaments ive been to a few and they were awesome play with beer and have 64 teams. Something Philly will probly never be able to do and we know this. But does anyone really need to bash our tournaments to make themselves feel better ? I mean yes it may effect our out of state playes but lets be honest we are trying to make PHILLY !!!!! a contender. Not play host to east coast rivalries. No matter what we enjoy the game and we are still gonna play somewhere, even if it isnt gallaghers. Our little 12, 15, and 20 team tournaments are good enough for us !!!!!!!!!!   Just to switch it up a little can u believe the FUCKING CLOWNS that were already out before the fight asking for thier money back ????????  They were the ones that needed to get thier ass beat haha. I may be an average player but going up agianst they players that were there i know from the door its gonna take a fucking epiphany to pull out a win. But like i said before we play for the love of the game sure we want to compete with the best but just to be on the same table as these guys is damn good with me !!!!!  SEE YA SOON BEST OF THE BEST !!!!!!!! Beer pong; I WANT THIS SHIT FOREVER MAN; EVER MAN !!!!!!!

  • WOW!!,  I'm pretty much done with all the "money back" bullshit!  Anyone that knows me, knows I don't give a fuck about money. ($1,000 game in Atlantic City)  It was very simple,  when I was talking to the owner/staff,  I said "let the teams finish the tournament, if not, I want my money back"  It's pretty easy for someone to say, after the fact, that they were going to split up the money with the remaining teams.  That is complete bullshit,  there was no mention of that, therefore I wanted my money back.
     
    Oh, and on a different note,  anyone that thinks there a "big boy" and wants to run their mouth about Maryland, and all this bull shit about an easy win, can settle it on the pong table.  Mcallister was 1 of the teams left in the tourny, and I'm pretty sure they will play against anyone.  I'll even put up the $$
     
    Also,  I was there during the fight,  and I am friends with John and Kessler, and I feel that both of them should have been thrown out.
