Call Cracker-jack and Hootie, get the team back together: World Series of Beer Pong Satellites are here

The World Series of Beer Pong — "the largest, longest-running organized beer pong (aka Beirut) tournament in the world, created by beer pong players, for beer pong players" according to the WSOBP website — will start in less than two months, on Jan. 1 at the Flamingo Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.

But you knew that, right? You've been single-mindedly training since 2008, when team Chauffering the Fat Kid managed to snatch the suds from an all-but-victorious  Iron Wizard Coalition by completing an amazing four straight sinks. Cinderella story? Yes. Biggest come-from-behind victory in the history of sports? Probably.

Don't get the wrong impression about beer pong, though: it's not all about beer consumption.
