"There are no losers in Flip Cup, let's be honest," said Scott, co-founder of Flip Cup Guys. A grassroots organization based out of Hoboken, New Jersey, FCG is led by Scott and his buddy Mike who came up with the idea after destroying the bar room competition in an impromptu tourney. "We looked around and saw how many people were playing and thought, this could be huge."

And huge it is. This October, Flip Cup Guys is holding the first ever professional 64 team Flip Cup Tournament at the M1-5 Bar in New York City. "It's the largest in the US, potentially in history," Scott told us. Winning teams at the October throw-down will receive a variety of prizes including professional flip cup tables courtesy of BPong.com, other big ticket items and a cash deposit to a charity of their choice. So far, Scott says they have signed up teams from California to Canada and still have spots available but they're going fast.

Scott pointed out to us the huge positives of flip cup in relation to other drinking games. "It's more of a team sport," he told us. FCG tournaments use 6-person teams so more people can get in on the action than the 2-on-2 testosterone battles of Beer Pong. "Plus, girls like it a lot more. They can bring their friends." Scott told us they average 60% female participation, making it a perfect way to not only unite the party, but unite the sexes as well.

But don't for a moment think FCG is just an East Coast thing. Partnered with the Beer Pong Association of America (notorious for their World Championships every January in Vegas), the professional side of flip cup has pushed westward and FCG holds tournaments in cities across the country. Some venues have monthly social leagues and the game is a major hit between rival college Alumni Associations still trying to figure out which alma mater should reign supreme.

Wherever you choose to play it and whatever you choose to call it, Flip Cup is making waves across America so much so that your parents may even know what it is. To find out more about the New York tournament on October 11 and get your team registered, check them out at FlipCupGuys.com
