Brewskee-Ball is the first-ever national Skee-Ball® league, founded in New York City in 2005.

The BEEB, also known as “it’s The BEEB”, combines Brewskee-Ball’s two major national championships (The World Mug and The Rollers Tournament) with a festival. It is held annually during Memorial Day Weekend. The inaugural BEEB was held in Williamsburg, Brooklyn at Full Circle Bar and The Knitting Factory, May 25–27, 2012. The name BEEB is derived from BBNC (Brewskee-Ball National Championship), which was founded in 2010. Some rollers began referring to the BBNC as simply, The BEEB, because of the sound that is made when pronouncing the two B’s at the beginning of the acronym.

Brewskee-Ball National Championship, also known as “BBNC” is comprised of a team and individual skee-ball competition, The World Mug and The Rollers Tournament respectively. Until 2012 the BBNC was comprised solely of an individual Skee-Ball competition. Skee-Diddy of Brooklyn won the first-ever BBNC in 2010. Joey the Cat of San Francisco won the second BBNC in 2011 and the first-ever Rollers Tournament in 2012. Snakes on a Lane of Brooklyn won the 2013 Rollers Tournament. Joey The Cat picked up another Cream Jacket in 2014, making him a three-time national champion. Last year, Tracy Townsend of Wilmington, became the first female to win The Rollers. She is the current defending National Champion and will try to retain her title in 2016 on native soil.

The Brewskee-Ball World Mug, often simply the World Mug, is one of the two major Brewskee-Ball National Championships (BBNC). The World Mug is a team skee-ball competition contested by U.S. cities affiliated with and sanctioned by Brewskee-Ball and the World Mug Council, the tournament’s global governing body.
The current format of the tournament involves 4 national teams competing for the title, one team from each qualifying Brewskee-Ball city. National teams are comprised of one coach who selects 13 rollers from their respective city, from which 4 individual teams of 3 rollers are formed. The first-ever World Mug took place on May 26, 2012 at The Knitting Factory in Brooklyn. The second World Mug took place on May 25, 2013 at The Scoot Inn in Austin. San Francisco won the first two World Mugs. Brooklyn brought the World Mug to the East Coast for the first time in 2014. Last year, Austin was able to capture the World Mug in dramatic fashion, winning the tournament in their newly built Full Circle Bar. The winning city is presented with the World Mug and retains it for the entire year.

The Rollers Tournament, also known as The Rollers (sometimes referred to as The U.S. Rollers outside of the United States), is one of the two major Brewskee-Ball National Championships (BBNC). The Rollers Tournament is an individual championship where 64 participants compete for the title of best skee-ball player in the country. The 64 rollers qualify in their respective Brewskee-Ball city over the course of one Brewskee-Ball year, three regular skeesons. The first-ever Rollers Tournament took place on May 27, 2012 on 9 skee-ball lanes located at Full Circle Bar and The Knitting Factory in Brooklyn. Joey The Cat of San Francisco won the first-ever Rollers Tournament. Snakes on a Lane of Brooklyn won the second Rollers in Austin. In 2015, Tracy Townsend of Wilmington, became the first female to win The Rollers. The winner of the tournament is presented with a distinctive cream jacket.
