Another World Series is just around the corner and one would think that means nothing but anticipation and uncontrollable excitement for the arrival of January 1st.

What is Pongstars Approved?  Well beer pong has recently been crippled by a plague. A plague of poorly run tournaments, that cause distrust and implosion among the beer pong community.

It’s in our nature as humans to feel the need to have our strong and often times stubborn opinions heard.

While putting together the region based Top 25 Rankings last month, there was a significant amount of chatter about just doing another National Top 25 as our predecessors had.

Better late than never. This overused cliche can now be linked to Kevin Kessler. Considered one of the best players in the game today, Kessler has achieved pong super stardom despite the one big doubles victory that most elites hang their hat on. A constant top finisher at all tournaments he attends, he had yet […]

Incredibly tired. Right leg sore. Shudder to think of alcohol. Angry posts and friend requests on facebook. Yep, must’ve just got back from a pong trip. The Pongstars $10k has come and gone, and damn if I didn’t have a good time. My trip began with a trip to Disneyland. As good as she is […]

For 99.9% of the beer pong community, this game is not a professional outlook. Making a living off pong is virtually impossible. Only the best of the best could pull it off and even if they did it likely would lead to a life of frugality. With that said it is pretty obvious that our […]

We at Pongstars.net decided long ago, well before the inception of this brain child that there needed to be a new-age style type of beer pong tournament. One that not only paid out a decent pot to First, Second and Third places in order to attract big name travelers but also to be “incentive driven” […]

My relationship with the World Series is the most dysfunctional of my life. I love it, hate it, am glad to be rid of it, miss it already, can’t wait to see its face again, regret the bad times, and as the year passes those tend to fade and only the highlights stick out. This […]

Fantasy Football has changed the way American watch the game, and has garnered the interest of casual fans, hardcore enthusiasts, and gamblers who don’t even watch football.

The South is so spread out and disjointed it’s strange to think of as a cohesive pong region, comparable to the East or Midwest. Regardless, the region has become the fastest growing pong community in the country, constantly getting bigger where other regions have shown signs of stagnation and decline.

Often disrespected and overlooked the midwest is home to an overwhelming amount of talent that has done its fair share of letting their actions do the speaking.

It has come to my attention as of late that it is in a pong players best interest to talk a big game. At least that’s how it feels. I am incapable of going on facebook or the forums without treading through a swamp of self infatuation and endless negativity. In fact it has become […]

Let’s hear it for the women, huh? We always put so much focus on the men in beer pong that the fairer sex often gets overlooked, unfairly. All of us want the sport to grow, but for some reason one of the biggest avenues for growth, namely getting more girls in the game, is underdeveloped. […]
