- FAQQ. Do I have to play in the tournament? Or do I have to stay the whole time? Can I show up late?A. We will accommodate anything that you want. The only requirement is to come and have a good time with some good people. If you want to throw balls in cups, that is completely up to you. If you can't stay the whole time, it's not a problem either, we'll make sure you get your "work" in.Q. I'm serious about beer pong (aka sploosh, beirut). What should I expect?A.10 cup wedges. Stare down for first shot. No defense. Trade turns. Roll backs on "two in a row". Shoot til you miss for 3 cup over time. Single elimination (probably) march madness style bracket.Q. Do I need to preplan for a teammate?A. No way. We have plenty of willing participants that you will be glad(?) you met.Q. Can I invite others?A. Yes of course! The more the merrier. Bring anyone and everyone.Q. What's the address?A. Email ben at benwang262 [at] gmail [dot] com or hit his cell at 310-430-9893Q. What's this about costumes?A. Again...nothing is mandatory, but matching themed costumes could never go wrong... right?Q. Again is this going to be kid friendly?A. If your definition of kid friendly is endless sugar, bounce houses, silly string wars etc. then ... yes...
- BI2015May 9th 2015 - It was another epic Brigati Invitational which drew participants from around the country (Colorado, Boston, New York, Texas were all represented).
- Redemption!Team Sheldon outlasted a furious rally from Amy/BO to capture the title of the inaugural Brigati Invitational, outlasting 50+ teams from around the world. There were surprises (Mary/Frank decimating Mike and Jess in OT) and the usuals (choke jobs - Flight & Willy). All had fun and the Sheldons walked away deservedly and will be defending champions in 2015. Brian Sheldon has since kicked the "Sheldon" Sobriquet (where you leave over ten cups on your side) as the Brigati Invitational Champion!Awards go to:Most Brigati Player: ODB (David Bailey)Most Brigati Talker: JRO (Jesse Robinson)
