I'm the co-founder of Maryland Beer Pong Promotions (MDBP) and own and operate the website mdbeerpong.com. For the past 4 years, MDBP has run over 100 tournaments and 15 leagues in Maryland and DC. Each year MDBP hosts the Official Maryland State Beer Pong Championships in which the top teams in the state compete for their chance to represent Maryland at the World Series of Beer Pong (WSOBP).

I've been playing beer pong since the age of 21 at Bucknell University. Upon my return to Maryland I started organizing and running tournaments until MDBP was born. My business partner, Jim and I formed the team 'Dixie Normous' in 2005 and in our career we've won countless tournaments in Maryland including 6 straight finals appearences in MDBP League Championships (4 wins).  Dixie Normous has participated in the all three WSOBP's and have placed 5th, 25th, and 5th against the world's toughest competition. Most recently, Dixie Normous won the 2008 Summer Cup in Jamaica, Negril which carried with it a $5,000 prize.

Austin Lanham: My name is Austin Lanham I am teaching how to play beer pong. Now we are going to start the game.

To start the beer pong game you are going to have ten cups, you are going to fill your ten cups with beer. You don't fill it up very high only about to the first line, you fill all then cups to the same level.

So with your ten cups you are going to align them in a triangle formation, four cups go in the back row, three cups in the third row, two cups in the second row and the final cup in the front row. Now all the cups should be touching but not overlapping, forming a perfect triangle formation. Next thing you are going to need are water cups, each side needs a water cup to clean off their ball when it touches the ground.

Alright now we are ready to start the game with the coin flip. I am going to flip the coin, my opponent is going to choose head or tails and that will decide the side of the table and also who gets the ball at the beginning of the game. We won the toss so we are going to elect to let them start with one ball, we will start with the next two.

Speaker: We are going to choose this side; we are going to score first.

Austin Lanham: So now Theo will take his shot with the first ball, and now we will have two balls to start our first turn.

Now we are going to talk about normal game of beer pong.

    In this video, professional web developer Kevin Frey, of TransEffect LLC, goes over the basics of creating a simple web page using a "What you see is what you get" editor (in this case, Adobe DreamWeaver). The video is tailored to beginners who have limited knowledge of the principles behind web site design and development. The segments cover everything from registering a domain name to getting started with HTML and CSS. Also covered are page templates, blogs, and some general tips for making your site better. There's even a segment dedicated to some of the terms you should be familiar with as a web designer/developer, as well as some advice on where to find more information, for anyone who wishes to master some more advanced techniques. Due to the fact that this is a video for beginners, it does not extensively cover some items that were considered better suited to people with a more advanced web design/development skillset, such as the difference between HTML and XHTML, designing the look and feel of a site in programs like Adobe Photshop or Fireworks, and why it's so important to separate presentation from content.
