LAS VEGAS - BPONG.COM announced that it will host "The Return to Mesquite: A $10,000 World Series of Beer Pong VII Mega Satellite Event."

Beer pong players, summer vacationers and spectators are invited to participate in this weekend-long beer pong tournament, which offers at least one team of two the opportunity to compete in the seventh annual World Series of Beer Pong, in Las Vegas.

The tournament will be July 29-31 at the CasaBlanca Resort Casino in Mesquite, where the world's largest and longest-running beer pong tournament got its start.

"We held the first and second annual World Series of Beer Pong events in Mesquite but quickly outgrew the venue and relocated the annual event to the Las Vegas strip," said WSOBP co-founder Billy Gaines. "We're excited to offer BPONG fans and followers this opportunity to return to where it all began with what's expected to be a weekend full of exciting beer pong tournament play and all sorts of optional resort activities before and after game play."

Judge: Patron can sue bar over beer pong bashing

25.06.11

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A Staten Island judge has bounced a Great Kills bar's bid to be released from a lawsuit brought by a patron assaulted over a game of beer pong.

State Supreme Court Justice Joseph J. Maltese ruled that Thomas Venito may sue KJ's Ale House for damages allegedly incurred when a fellow patron attacked him and fractured his ankle during a dispute over the drinking game they were playing inside the Nelson Avenue bar overnight on May 27, 2007.

In his ruling, the judge cited the fact the bar permitted the game -- with its implicit goal of fueling intoxication -- and said a jury should decide if KJ's served a visibly intoxicated person in violation of state law.

Newport Resident's Company Makes Beer Pong Accesories

23.02.71

Peter Tanoury and business partner Peter Engler of P & P Imports set out to solve an age-old problem: How do you keep the beer cold during a game of beer pong on a summer afternoon?

Their solution: the N-ice Rack —a triangular rack with a series of cup holders that you fill with water and freeze, thus keeping your beer cold and your cups in perfect beer pong formation.

“The N-ice Rack was our first product that got us both to quit our day jobs. We then developed the swimming pool version of that product, then went into the Can Grips and beer pong tables,” said Tanoury, who has lived in Newport Beach for three years.

The Can Grip has become the company's bread and butter, with more than a million having sold so far. It's a plastic handle that can be used as on any 12 ounce can, making it more like a mug or beer stein. It was companies looking for products that they could slap their logo on and use as promotional items that helped the invention take off. Beer and soda companies, and even NASCAR, were among the companies to order it.
