Oh yes, it is time to get your drink on. A group called Flip Cup Guys is putting on a 64 team field of flip cuppers to have the largest official flip cup tournament in the US...or so they say. Some frat house somewhere has to have had something similar to this at some point in time right? Nevertheless, these guys have a website and are making it look quite official.Its a $30 entry fee per player or $25 per spectator and that gives you all the beer you can drink. That, dear readers, is a cover price that I would pay any day of the week. If you're in NYC its being held at M1-5 Bar which is on 52 Walker Street between Broadway and Church St. and you best be loaded up with all sorts of B vitamins before, during and after to help lessen the inevitable hangover you're going to get from this event.
However, these guys do have some serious competition, there is a circuit called Major League Flip Cup which puts on the World Series of Flip Cup and these guys claim to be the "Official Governing Body Of All Things Flip Cup". Their World Series consisted of just 50 teams and the event occurred a couple months ago on May 3rd, 2008 at the Recher Theatre in Baltimore. Even though they are lacking the field of 64, these guys mean serious business, having regional tournaments across the nation and even teams from other countries.Flip Cup guys seem to have a rival circuit. Could this be like the AFL and NFL? The AL and the NL? Could we be witnessing history in the world of sanctioned binge drinking? I might have to start up my own league and call it USA Flip-Cup and have a field of 80 teams. Bigger is better apparently.
If you forget how flip cup works, here's a demonstration:

I think the would be very interesting to watch. especially about 30 min after the competition is over.
