For anyone that has competed in a SCBP League, hand tallies on clipboards have always been second nature. It's old school, but was our best answer for producing stats. The clipboard days might be behind us as Pongtracker has developed an easy-to-use stat tracking tool that updates their database as soon as a game is finished. With simple selections of players, miss, or cup (for hits), tracking stats has never been easier (unless you're Welch - who doesn't need to track stats since he hasn't missed since '96). Check out the app at http://www.pongtracker.com/iphone. The first 3 people to email iphone@pongtracker.com with the subject 'SCBP' will get a code for a free download.

Fixty-six teams came out for pongleague's West Coast Classic in Lake Elsinore, with crews representing SCBP, IE, Norcal, and Vegas. With a grueling schedule planned, teams were to play 5 pool play games, a best 2/3 round, then a 32 team double elimination tournament.

A bunch of SCBP teams will be competing in tomorrow's 5k tournament. We will try to keep everyone updated on status via twitter. Follow us @socalbeerpong, or simply check out http://www.twitter.com/socalbeerpong.

Finding the right teammate for a coed tournament is half the battle. The Super Vlads didn't have much choice, with a title to defend (August 2008). Also playing were wtf-we-are-a-coed-team-anyways-lol Team Beat Down, we-almost-won-on-may-twelfth Just The Tip, league stalwarts War Kittens, My Mom Is Better Than Your Mom, and Smokey & The Underhanded (who picked up the new form at the last coed tourney). Word on the street is that Tarek contacted Amy as soon as the co-ed tournament was posted, hoping no one else got to her first. Amy probably had her pick of superstar teammates, but did as my wise grandfather would have advised - "Either play with the first person who asks, or don't play at all".

Going into the final tournament, any of the top 7 teams looked to be able to take home the trophies. In an examination of the matchups between the top tier teamsduring the regular season, almost none of the 3 game series ended with one team asserting itself as dominant by winning all 3 games. It only happened 4 times between matchups of those seven teams in a total of 22 series:	Spring League Trophies
Wet Bandits swept The Cocksmen Pure Filth swept War Kittens The Cocksmen swept Cock Push-Ups Anyone? Peter's Ass <=8 swept Hey There Sasquitch (twice)

Essentially - we can look at these results and simply say that all of the teams are good, and any one team could beat any other team. It's like the Magic's two wins vs the Lakers in the regular season. We can just throw those out before playing the games that really matter.

The Cocksmen split up on Tuesday night, with Gary teaming up with Jaime (Just The Tip) and Kendon teaming up with RJ (Passion Bucket). Just The Tip lost early, but won 6 straight to reach the finals. While Gary can be good, Jaime was huge in that stretch, hitting more cups than Gary in some games, and stepping it up where it mattered most. In the loser's bracket semi-final, they took out Pure Filth, who had to hit 3 redemption shots to force OT. Dustin hit, then Brent hit. With Dustin stepping up to the table, host Bryan mused, "Welcome to the Splash Zone," a reference to Dustin's liklihood of knocking cups over if the shot doesn't fall (behavior that is not condoned). Before the shot, Yugo's Nick had moved from the green to the blue seats, and when the shot didn't fall, he got soaked.

The War Kittens might be having a good time in Hawaii, but their place atop the leaderboard suffered in their absence. The Cocksmen jumped to #3, Peter's Ass to #4, and Hey There Sasquitch, playing 2 weeks worth of games, moved to #5. Cock Push-Ups Anyone? decided to bounce for a game against Flippy Biscuit (ft. Momma). They looked to have things under control, but watched Momma hit the #2 cup, and Kristal hit the last cup to force a pressure redemption. Jamie bounced and missed. Mike decided to finally throw, and the lightning bolt he released fizzled on the back rim. That lost point was the difference in them making the top 6.

Todd and Scottie both showed up to Sandbox without a partner, and just hoping to pick up someone good enough to make a run. Todd's been training at the TF almost every weekend, and Scottie's been doing the same at league, so it's not surprising that they could make a run together. Combined with a good draw, Getcha Lean On (a nice play off of a classic) put together enough wins to get the confidence needed to take down a premier opponent. In the winner's bracket final, they did just that, beating The Cocksmen by 3 cups.
