The UCBL existed for two years on the University Hill west of the CU-Boulder campus. In its largest season, there were 30 teams (60 people) meeting at three houses every Friday night to play beer pong (beirut).

We called ourselves the University of Colorado Beirut League, but the title is completely unofficial, as we were not directly tied to the University of Colorado, nor would they associate with a league surrounding a drinking game.

The league began when a couple of friends and myself were sitting around one Sunday morning in a hungover haze, bull-shitting about what we had done the previous night. We all had been playing a lot of beer pong, so I suggested that we set up a season with friends and keep track of the stats.

We kicked the first season off in the Spring of 2004, and began hammering out all of the details. Word spread about the league and we were able to get sixteen teams in the first season. Fridays became an official beer pong night, something every one of us in the league looked forward to.
