This website has existed for over three years now, and in that time it has mainly served as a web portal for finding updated Tapey Beercone rules as well as a location where seasonal statistics were posted. Over the last year, much more content has been added, including a flushed out version of the Annals of the Sport as well as a plethora of updated player profiles. But it’s almost 2018, and now is as good a time as any to provide an update for what to expect in the year ahead.
First, in addition to the main pages of the site, such as the Annals, Players, and Rules pages, more short-form and ephemeral content will be posted under the Tapey Beercone Blug. (It’s not a blog!) Posts will include news and other updates, wrap up and photo posts on individual games and series, memos from the commissioners, as well as short stories on particular quirks of the sport or commentary on the sport in general. A running list of all these posts can be found by navigating to the Blug (It’s not a blog!), or to the individual category pages for the particular variety of post.
In addition to the Blug, expect more timely updates of regular content, such as updates to the Statistics Pages after each contest, updates to the Atlas after new fields are created, and updates to the Annals in general as the Sport adds to it’s history. But overall, as we enter 2018 and the second half of Season 5, you can expect a more active and up to date website experience.
Finally, some actual news on the sport and upcoming events. 2018 should be an active year, in addition to the Open Game in May (more news to follow in another post) and the Invitational in November, there are a number of additional events already making their way to the calendar: “The Rooster”‘s Bachelor Party game and Wedding game (Invitation Only), another Summer Trip Series (Location TBD), as well as the ending of an era with the Closing Brown’s Downs Down events all to be held over the spring and summer. Here’s to another great year!
