1st Ever West Oakland Beer Olympics Rules and Guidelines


Overview

The West Oakland Beer Olympics is an event organized by Max Carmenar aka MP The Genius for the sole purpose of bringing friends together to have a good time and a little fun competition. There is no monetary gain from any of the team’s buy-ins. All buy-in amounts are strictly used to purchase the materials needed to organize the event (beer, prizes, etc).

Guidelines and safety

This is a nonviolent, safe event. Anyone who creates an unsafe environment for anyone else including themselves will be disqualified from the event and asked to leave forfeiting all buy-ins or money used to enter the West Oakland Beer Olympics.

Anyone deemed too drunk to control themselves will be disqualified from the event and only asked to leave if their inebriation results in an unsafe environment for themselves or others. 

Teams and the competition

Each team will have to have 2 people to compete. Both members of each team will have to follow the uniform requirements to compete which are one of the following options

a) Each player on the team will need to have matching uniforms which can be as simple as matching shirts, team names on their shirts, or as many matching items as they’d like

b) Each player on the team will follow a theme such as; they choose a movie and each player dresses as a character from that movie or video game or an era in time and they dress as people from that era. Get as creative as you’d like!

If both members of the team aren’t following one of the two options, they cannot compete.

Everyone will be provided the same type of beer to make it fair. No one will be able to choose the beverages they compete with. All beer will be provided by the organizers of the event so no need to bring any to compete with. BYOB for anyone not participating in the competition and we will be selling beer and shots as well!

*We strongly suggest no pregaming for competitors as we will have a pregaming event for all participants of the Beer Olympics before the competition starts.

The drinking games for the competition are;

  • Beer pong: Classic beer pong with the possibility of house rules plus a “Shot Clock” to limit major delays

  • *Modified Flip cup: Since there are only 2 people on each team the rules will be slightly modified to make sure the games aren’t too short, I will cover the rules during the match

  • Classic Chug: No need to explain.

The games will be elimination style meaning the winners of each event will move on to the next event until one team remains, the Champions.

The prizes will be revealed at the event and are NOT cash prizes. 

Let’s drink beer, let’s play games, and let’s have fucking FUN!!!
