Flip Cup Tournament

The tournament you've all been waiting for is finally here!

XOSO's first ever Flip Cup tourney is just around the corner so start recruiting and scouting the competition now. It's a double elimination tournament, so if you have a bad match, your team gets a shot at redemption. Sounds great, but what happens when you get eliminated? You get to keep drinking for free, that's what! XOSO's Flip Cup tournament means free PBR (maybe a blonde) for the length of the tournament (3 to 4 hours) for all participants, whether you're still playing or rooting for (or against) your friends!
