The Inaugural Sport-Off Champion

After 8 events, there was a 2-way tie for 1st place between Ryan Burns & R.J. Pomeroy.

On August 2nd, 2008, the two squared off for the tie-breaking event: Beer Pong.

They started things off by establishing the rules and drinking a beer.

The first game was close but ultimately went to Ryan. Game two went to R.J., causing a decisive game three.

By the third game, the competitors were drunk and the crowd was disinterested. Despite this, it was a hard-fought match and a winner was crowned:

R.J. Pomeroy is the first ever Sport-Off champion. He'll be forced to defend his title in the next competition, but for now he holds the Sport-Off Cup.

Final Standings with prizes:
1) R.J. Pomeroy - Sport-Off Cup and $40

Final Results!

It's been a hard fought contest, starting 2 months ago on May 12th. It would be great to say that after 2 months and 8 events, the initial sport-off would be finished, but I can't say that.
