About the World Pong Tour:
History of the World Pong Tour
Started in the Fall of 2006, the tour, then known as the ‘New York Beer Pong Tour’, originally began as a six-city stint through New York State giving out small cash prizes. The company started with the goal of legitimizing the sport of beer pong by hosting professional tournaments in local bars with a standardized set of rules. Instead of concentrating in one area, the WPT concept was to create a ‘tour’, traveling around to different cities, hosting tournaments, and awarding prizes.
Since its inception, the company has grown immensely, now spanning the country. To date, over $500,000 in cash and prizes has been awarded to the winners of our tournaments including our $25,000 2009 Atlantic City Tournament, $50,000 2010 Atlantic City Tournament, and many more to come!
