Thanks for answering my question Scott. Sounds like I've got 6 minutes in between matches before I forfeit a game. I didn't push you because I lost a bogus match. I pushed you because your a punk bitch. Next time we have a confrontation, I will probably beat your ass.

Wow great job CJ and Drew. There were some tough teams last night. Impressive win.

The rest of the stuff, come on people, is this what foosball has become? I started getting edgy and chippy last year, took a break, and vowed to enjoy the game more, win or lose and respect ALL of my fellow foosers more. Laugh a lot more. You know what, foos has been more fun. If you are getting to the point where you resort to getting physical with your friends, jeez, you've got issues that need fixing. It's no fun staying angry. I still battle with it. Life is shorter than you think. Live it, love it, enjoy it! Come on now!

I figured that was going to be you're response - sorry you feel that way. I hope you take this time to think things, and you have my number if you ever want to talk.

#1 - You, Jim, CJ and Drew all went beyond 6 minutes. You were all put on recall, but I didn't go outside chasing anyone. Drew happened to be there when I was done waiting, and we flipped for the 1 game forfeit.

#2 - My post states I am not always going to wait 6 minutes. 6 minutes + 6 minutes + 6 minutes = 18 minutes + the extra time that you waste AT the table not even wrapped up. Everyone at the tournament had to be there an extra 30 minutes at LEAST just for you and Sherm. So no, it will not always be 6 minutes. When there is an entire ROOM of people slouched on chairs wanting you guys to be forfeited because there is no other match to be played, and you KNOW you're up - it's not always going to be 6 minutes. Tourney teams and conditions will dictate the recall rules. I was trying to explain this to you when you went left.

#3 - I see your side. Dude, I do. It's a fun night out, and you want to play foos and hang with your friends. I get it. But there are 30 other people in that room annoyed and pissed off at you, and I was hearing it non-stop from tons of foosers. I'm always shocked that not a single one of you ever apologizes to the rest of the room - you guys are completely selfish.

#4 - You absolutely have a right to state your case, just like CJ or Sherm would. Heck, you can even get mad at me - I get that too. But you under NO circumstances can you get physical with any fooser or customer - EVER. This is like...the one cardinal rule of a tourney! Our foos family will absolutely NOT tolerate that.

#5 - (This is my favorite lol) You had FOUR shots on the 3 bar to win that match vs. Drew and CJ, and send it into a second set. Jim was bricking the crap out of CJ, and blocked 3 or 4 meatballs to let you keep shooting on Drew. This entire situation could have been avoided if you just channeled your rage and scored one freaking ball. You were dominating that game, and didn't play smart on the 3 or call time out to figure out Drew's D. Instead of dealing with the loss, you needed to blame me and go this route.

#6 - After the match, and the payouts, you totally could have went up to CJ and Drew, and said:

"Hey man, I'm really sorry for making you guys wait, and playing rough. I can be an asshole with a temper, and I'm sorry. Would you guys be interested in finishing up the 2 sets without the forfeit? You guys can have the money if you want, but lets just see who the better team is."

You know what? They 100% would have agreed to that. Happy Ending.

As a smoker I need a few minutes between matches. As a competitor I need a few minutes between matches. A few minutes to clear my head from the previous match and prepare for the next. I'm not going to apologize to anyone for taking a few minutes. It's Bullshit that you can't nail down a lime limit between matches. I could give 2 shits if someones got to wait 5 minutes for me at the table. I need a break. As do all thw smokers. Give us a smoking time allotment between matches and we will abide by it. Dont just go around forfeiting people willy nilly because someone is cryig. As of now the recall process is that if anyone gets antsy weather its 1minute or 15 they cry to scott and the recall process begins. That's bullshit. Give us 5 minutes before starting the foreit process and keep everyone happy. And when it's down to 2 or 3 teams and we all take a smoke break fuck you for flipping a coin. You lost early. Leave the cash with someone and go home.

lol - you do have a good point there. If you would have thought of it last night, and asked me - you totally could have done that. But you didn't...so we didn't. Sorry. I didn't think that Drew was out there with you guys, so I didn't make that connection.

If this scenario comes up for 4 smoking finalists again, please come see me, and I will be more than happy to let you guys take care of the payouts and play on your own time.

*Only takes one game to win a two out of three, tournament deciding match when Scott's incharge.

Wait, what?

Give the finalists some flexibility, they earned it. If you're tired, leave the money and make the voyage home. Anyone can initiate that, even the TD. In the spirit of telling people on this thread what they could have or should have done, had you done that we just see the tourney results posted which I'm sure is all 100% of everyone wanted.

Regarding Section 1 and any unsportsmanlike conduct infractions, I wasn't there, didn't hear what was said, didn't see who was close to who or who had their chests puffed out. Can't comment other than I know both of you and if either one of you wanted to really hurt each other, it would have been fisticuffs, not a push or shove.

If you don't lay down expulsion from the tournament he should be there next week given you two can shake hands and move on, especially given the onion has been peeled back on this thread. Forget the "I think" 3 months is sufficient because I'm Scott approach. Stick with the final warning given the circumstances.

Neither one of you are blood thrirsty maniacs or malicious and corrupt tourney directors. Take it offline and solve it.

But Drew...come on Man! Grab that coin out of the air and chuck it next time :)
