Of the three conquered schools, N.C. State appears to have the most devoted pong players, as 150 Wolfpack showed up (with team names like "WTFOMGBBQ Sauce" and "8lb. 6oz. Baby Jesus"). The "Method Munchies" went home as the crowned victors of the night.

On the Tar Heels' turf, 50 aspiring beer-pongers showed up for some friendly competition on Franklin Street, but it was their creativity of names that set a precedent for future teams. Although "Team Daddy" prevailed over team "Skank-a-Lank" to maintain an undefeated record in the tournament, team "Cerveza in Your Face-a" went home with the biggest honor: the best name on the tour so far.

Kunkel, Lininger and Piontkowski are having the time of their lives, but don't get them wrong: They're not in this just for the parties.

"We're giving a $100 donation to a philanthropy organization of the winner's choice," Kunkel said. "It's beer pong for a good cause."

The trio say that their tournaments are actually safer than typical drinking nights on campus. The association checks the ages of its players and has noticed that the participants actually drink less than they would on a normal night out at a bar.

Ma and Pa must be so proud of their graduates.

"Actually, I don't think they necessarily understand the beer-pong culture," Kunkel said.
