The Young and the Restless

  

Jason Chichester & Jon Basile

Jason Chichester- My best 3 finishes were 1st place at the ECBPC with Vince Bolhuis, 1st at the WSOBP V 5k singles tournament , and 5th at the AABP $5k in Vegas. I really played lackluster at the end of this tournament and cost Vince the win at this event. I was elated when he agreed to play with me again in Md because I owed him a tournament. I can honestly say it was the first time I cost my partner a win at a tournament but it was a great motivational tool for the ECBPC.

My partner for WS VI is Jon Basile. We have never played in a conventional tournament together, but we do have experience playing at the BOTE in 2010 we squared off against Nick V and Nick S in the playoffs against the Midwest. Basile has always had the game, in the past few months he has found his swagger, and he is such a great all around player now, also he is a great kid off the table. It will be a pleasure playing next to him come January.

I am moving back to Rochester, Ny in March 2011, my main focus is getting my mothers house paid off by the time I move back to the area. The 25k winnings from the World Series would be a great help in achieving that goal. Also I will probably get Posada an escort since the only way he ever gets laid is when he pays for it.

One thing I would change would to have a main event for 50k and use the other 15k to have an event where it would be mandatory to be a coed or all girls team. I think many of them enjoy coming out and experiencing the big stage in Vegas, but I would focus on getting more teams out there if they feel they were in a tournament that was more competitive and more on their level. I feel that tournament would have many participants and help the growth of beer pong in getting over 700 teams out there to Vegas.

Jon Basile- I'd say my three best finishes would be 1st place WBPT 5K Paulie's Invitational with Garrett Malise( check him out, kids an absolute beast, and definately the top young talent in beer pong)..Great tournament ran by WBPT Sam Pine's with the finest East Coast players in attendance..,Then I'd say my 3rd place finish at the ECBPC in Maryland with the highly controversial yet outstanding top tier player Reap..Virginiabeerpong.com!!...We finished 1st overall after prelims going undefeated with an unbelievable cup differential...Congrats to Vince and Jason though, they definitely deserved to win this tournament..Lastly, I'd put both my victories in the DOE 2k event and the DOE Triple Crown Throwdown with Pop..

I have won 8 WSOBP satellite bids this year..including one this past weekend in NJ with POP against Kessler and Kyle Williams..Had to throw that in there to rub it in my arch enemy Kessler's face..HA HA..just playin, he is an unbelievable player whom Ive def. learned a lot from on the table..I should also add that he took $100 off me before the tournament because I'm sure he would want that to also be known..dammitt

My teammate for the WSOBP this year is Jason Chichester..He is a machine on the pong table and a stand-up guy..We wil be playing under the team name The Young and the Restless..We've only previously played together one time at the Beast of the East..but we both know what each of us brings to the table.

When We win the WSOBP VI this year..I'll either look into buying a new car, adding it to my savings to get my own place and def. bring out my good friends that have been along for the ride to pop bottles with and celebrate the victory..Also, I will buy a 30 foot bindie for goliath, Ron, Dave and Ricky Posada, and Pop.

One thing I would change about beer pong is not a tape line for the shooter but rather for the defenders for obvious reasons..
